A system for abating noise emanating from a kitchen electric appliance includes a base of a predetermined size, comprising a first instance of a noise reflecting material, so that said base is disposed underneath, supporting, and contiguous to said kitchen electric appliance, and a sleeve of a predetermined size, including a second instance of a noise reflecting material, one or more layers of at least one noise absorbing material, one closed end, and one open end, so that said one open end slides over said kitchen electric appliance and is contiguous to said base. Said noise is effectively abated by reverberating between said first instance of said noise reflecting material and said second instance of said noise reflecting material and is attenuated by said one or more layers of said at least one noise absorbing material.

A grinding device includes: first and second grinding elements, the first grinding element being rotatable relative to the second grinding element around a rotary axis for grinding coffee beans between the grinding elements into a powder; a carrier wheel rotatable around the rotary axis for conveying powder on the carrier wheel to an outflow channel to output the powder; a housing surrounding the grinding elements and the carrier wheel and including the outflow channel, the second grinding element being stationary relative to the housing, a rolling bearing with inner and outer rings and rolling elements therebetween, the outer ring being stationary on the housing and the first grinding element, the carrier wheel and the inner ring being rotatable around the rotary axis together. An annular seal ring seals an intermediate region above the outer ring around the rotary axis between the carrier wheel and the outer ring.

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.

A grinder device is provided. The grinder device may include a container, a cap assembly configured to be friction-fit to the container such that the cap assembly is removably lockable to the container, and a grinding mill disposed within the cap assembly to perform a grinding operation of condiment disposed in the container. The grinding mill may include a movable grinder portion and a fixed grinder portion that are rotatable relative to each other, and the fixed grinder portion is engagable with the container to permit relative rotation between the cap assembly and the container.
