Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022123425A1] The present invention relates to a specific kitchen accessory, consisting of the container for grinded coffee which is used for the preparation of the coffee drink by means of the so-called "Moka" coffee-maker, an iconic object that is still practically the same today, as it was made for the first time in 1933 by its inventor Bialetti. In particular, the indicated container also functions as a universal dispenser to optimally load the filter of a generic "Moka" coffee-maker (of any size) for the preparation of a coffee. In fact, it is a convenient and effective accessory, both for storing the grinded coffee, and for preparing the coffee drink, using the so-called "Moka" coffee-maker. This container for grinded coffee comprises a lateral containment wall, a bottom, and an upper opening that can be used for filling it, and is characterized by the fact that said bottom has at least one through hole for feeding the filter, and its internal face is concave and shaped so that the upper edge of said hole is flush with the lower part of the internal concavity. Furthermore, said container is combined with a pusher tool consisting of a stem, suitable for being maneuvered by the user, which ends with a pestle whose dimensions allow it to easily push the grinded coffee inside the filter so much to fill in both the filter and said hole. In the preferred embodiments, this container is completed by an upper lid and a base on which to position the container itself when it is put away, the latter is useful, as it allows to collect any coffee residues that might come out of the feed hole, even when the container is stored.
