Apparatuses, systems, and methods for brewing a desired portion of a beverage, such as a single-cup portion of coffee, are provided. The system can include one or more hopper assemblies configured to provide a controlled dose of beverage material to a brew chamber. The system can also include a water input system configured to wet the ground beverage material as the grinds enter the brew chamber and substantially prevent steam from reaching grinder components of the system. Further, the system can include an automatic cleaning mechanism such that a user does not need to manually clean components of a brewing machine between brew cycles.

Coffee grinder-doser apparatus (1) with removable grinding chamber for extraction (10), with fast release; the proposed solution makes the grinding adjustment independent of the access to the grinding chamber and makes maintenance easier for the operator. An interface flange (113) is provided which is interposed in univocal position between the adjusting ring nut (115) and the fixed structure (112) of the chamber, which flange makes the coupling indirect of the ring nut (115) and of the extractable group (101) to said fixed structure, being screwed into said flange which is instead slidingly inserted. The locking involves a hooking and releasing system of fast and tensioned type, by means of levers (102) with cam tooth (123) mounted externally on said interface flange, which engage hooking the head of respective tie-rod groups (106) with elastic spring, putting them in traction, which are joined to said fixed structure of the chamber.

A container apparatus includes a container body and a container lid. The container body defines a first internal cavity. The container lid is attached to the container body and defines a second internal cavity. The container lid includes protrusions extending within the second internal cavity to grind solid materials.

A modular food dispensing device comprising a food container configured to contain and dispense a food product, a drive module for mechanically driving the food container to dispense the food product, and one or more magnets provided on one or both of the food container and drive module for releasably connecting the food container and drive module. The drive module is releasably connectable to the food container to selectively form a mechanical linkage for transmitting a driving force from the drive module to the food container to dispense the food product.

Coffee grinder for grinding coffee beans, comprising a container or supply element for coffee beans and a grinding device for grinding the coffee beans. The grinding device comprises a first and a second grinding element between which the coffee beans are ground, the distance between the two grinding elements in the grinding process determining the degree of grinding of the ground coffee, and at least one grinding element being driven by a motor. An adjusting element is provided, with which the distance between the two grinding elements can be adjusted by rotating an adjusting element, and a magnetic rotational position sensor, which directly or indirectly determines the absolute rotational position of this adjusting element as a measure of the distance and provides it for the further control of the coffee grinder.
