A decoction device for an extraction apparatus, in particular for preparing espresso, comprises a decoction chamber (7) enclosed by a chamber wall (5) for receiving a quantity of powder therein. The decoction chamber is situated between a first chamber bottom (20) and a second chamber bottom (30). The first chamber bottom (20) is coupled to a linear actuator and is axially movable in the decoction chamber so as to compress the powder to a bed. A drive is provided to impose a relative rotation between one of the chamber bottoms and the chamber wall as the chamber bottoms (20,30) approach each other. The respective chamber bottom (30) is for this purpose rotatable within the chamber wall (5) and the drive is able and configured to impose a rotation thereon during an approach movement of the first chamber bottom (20). A slip coupling (60) is provided in the transmission.
A decoction device for an extraction apparatus, in particular for preparing espresso, comprising a decoction chamber enclosed by a chamber wall for receiving a quantity of powder therein, which decoction chamber extends longitudinally between a first chamber bottom and a second chamber bottom, wherein at least the first chamber bottom is coupled to a linear actuator and is axially movable in the decoction chamber so as to compress the powder in the decoction chamber to a bed, and wherein a drive is provided to impose a relative rotation between at least one of the chamber bottoms and the chamber wall as the chamber bottoms approach each other, wherein the second chamber bottom is rotatable within the chamber wall, and wherein the drive is coupled to the second chamber bottom to impose a relative rotation by the second chamber bottom with respect to the chamber wall during an approach movement of the first chamber bottom.
The decoction device as claimed in one or more of the foregoing claims, wherein the second chamber bottom is coupled via a slip coupling to the drive.
