Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015052639A1] A drip coffee maker having a grinder system and brewing system combined is provided. A removable auger discharge mechanism connects the grinder system (1) to the brewing basket (2). One outlet of the auger mechanism is connected to the brewing basket (2) through a delivery opening (15) which can be opened or closed by a lever assembly (10). This closed door design of the discharge passage (6) prevents water steam from flowing back to the grinder system (1). The auger discharge mechanism can deliver the ground coffee in any direction. Thus the grinder system is not limited to a position above or horizontal to the brewing basket (2). In addition, the auger discharge mechanism can be removed for cleaning.
