Electronic apparatus for coffee grinding and metering control

Electronic apparatus for coffee grinding and metering control of the type containing, within an encasing structure:

• at least one disposable coffee container;
• a coffee grinding machine, constituted by:
• means for coffee grinding;
• means for coffee metering;
• means for filtering and dispensing coffee doses;
• at least one support means for coffee cups;
• at least one support means for said means for coffee doses filtering and dispensing;
• one front covering panel;
• at least one connector means for connecting the apparatus with the electrical system, through an electrical line and through at least one power supply;
• means to enable the coffee grinding machine in the presence of elements of recognition of said container, wherein said recognition elements are stored on physical storage supports in order to store data;
• said electronic apparatus furthermore comprising:
• at least one voice message transmitter equipped with an amplifier and a loudspeaker connected, through at least one connector means, at least one first power supply device and an electrical line, with said coffee grinding machine, with said transmitter device issuing messages relevant to the operative status of said coffee grinding machine, in particular communicating the successful recognition, or less, of said container;
• a plurality of display devices displaying the operating status of the electronic apparatus, connected with said coffee grinding machine;
• characterized in that said enabling means for said coffee grinding machine comprise at least a first and a second electronic control cards connected with each other through a digital bus which, when a first physical support for data storage is entered into a slot provided on said front panel in such a way that the data stored on said first physical storage support are processed by a reading/writing device of the coffee grinding machine, they enable said coffee grinding means for a sufficient and necessary number of times for exhausting that amount of coffee which is present inside said container, as a function of the quality of coffee to be ground and as a function of the wear of said grinding means over time, and store in their memory the number of grinding operations carried out, said coffee container being univocally associated with said first physical support, said first physical support containing, stored in its memory, the data relevant to the organoleptic characteristics of coffee contained inside said container.
