Abstract
A device for controlling the grinding of coffee comprises a pair of facing grinding plates the distance between which is adjustable in such a way as to be able to vary the dimensions of the grains of coffee obtainable upon grinding. The distance between the grinding plates is adjustable in dependence on the value of the humidity detected by an ambient humidity sensor.
Claims19
A device for controlling the grinding of coffee comprising:
- a pair of facing grinding plates,
- means for adjusting the distance between said grinding plates whereby to vary the dimensions of coffee grains obtainable upon grinding, and
- ambient humidity sensor means;
- said means for adjusting the distance between said grinding plates being controlled in dependence on the humidity value detected by the humidity sensor means.
