The present disclosure discloses an appliance, suitable for home use, for grinding oil-containing hard produce, in particular oil-containing seeds, to therefore extract an oily substance product. For example, the appliance may grind sesame to obtain Tahini, or peanuts/almonds to obtain butter therefrom. The present disclosure further discloses a capsule to be received in a grinding appliance such as disclosed herein. The appliance incudes two grinding members, configured to grind the hard produce. Each grinding member has a grooved face that is patterned to be configured for grinding. The hard produce is grinded in the interface defined between the two grooved faces, defining a grinding zone. The grinding members typically have a shape of a circle and are aligned one with the other along a common axis. At least one of the grinding members is configured to rotate about the axis to perform the motion carrying out the grinding in the interface between the members. The hard produce is introduced into the grinding zone via one or more openings in at least one of the grinding members. The openings lead directly into the grinding zone, namely the hard produce that is fed through the openings reaches to a part of one of the grooved faces to initiate the grinding process. The grinding zone is constituted by two grinding portions, an inner grinding portion and a peripheral grinding portion, defining inner grinding zone and peripheral grinding zone, respectively. A peripheral collection zone is disposed peripheral to the peripheral grinding zone and is configured to collect the grinded oily substance product that radially flows from the peripheral grinding portions. The oily substance in the collection zone flows towards a substance collector, through which the oily substance flows for being collected.

A grinder for plant substances includes a first surface and an opposing second surface that is separated from the first surface by a first longitudinal gap so that the first surface and the second surface define a receptacle within which a plant substance may be received. The second surface includes holes through which ground pieces of the plant substance may pass and at least one of the first surface and the second surface includes bumps that extend into, but not across, the receptacle. The bumps encourage rolling friction between the plant substance and the bumps so that the plant substance is ground into pieces small enough to pass through the holes.

Grinder-doser device for coffee beans includes a body which internally houses an electric motor, having a shaft, which is integral in rotation with the lower grinder holder to which the lower grinder is joined, said lower grinder holder, and said lower grinder being housed inside a head which has a horizontal annular seat in the lateral edge, which houses an upper grinder. The upper grinder being formed by a toothed annular portion housed inside a hollow annular portion, which in turn is surrounded by an annular portion, which rests on the annular seat. The flat upper surface of the upper grinder is rectified and collimated with the plane passing through the ends of the teeth of the toothed portion.

A device for grinding coffee beans includes a body provided with a vertical hopper for the entry of the coffee beans and a separate vertical outlet for the ground coffee, which are mutually connected by way of a horizontal seat within which a shaft is associated axially and rotatably. A first grinder is keyed to the shaft and interacts with a facing second grinder. These grinders cooperate with elements adapted to allow a first, micro-adjustment and a second, macro-adjustment of the grinding as a function of the type of coffee beans selected.

The invention relates to a disc grinding device (2) with a stator disc (3) and a rotor disc (4) which are disposed coaxially with respect to a common disc axis and have at least approximately the same diameter, and the mutually facing sides of which correspondingly contain an annular toothed stator surface and an annular toothed rotor surface, wherein the annular toothed stator surface contains at least one stator ring region with stator teeth, which are spaced apart by stator grooves in the peripheral direction, and the annular toothed rotor surface contains at least one rotor ring region with rotor teeth, which are spaced apart by rotor grooves in the peripheral direction, wherein the toothed rotor surfaces and the toothed stator surfaces define an annular grinding gap and are disposed and formed in such a way that the grinding gap becomes narrower radially in the direction from the disc axis towards the edge of the stator disc (3) and rotor disc (4), wherein the rotor teeth and rotor grooves extend in an inclined or curved manner with respect to the radial direction of the rotor disc (4), and/or wherein at least two stator ring regions with stator teeth and/or rotor ring regions with rotor teeth lie adjacently in the radial direction of the stator disc (3) or rotor disc (4) respectively and have stator teeth or rotor teeth respectively and/or stator grooves or rotor grooves respectively of different designs, and/or wherein the stator grooves and/or rotor grooves become narrower in the direction from the disc axis towards the edge of the stator disc (3) or rotor disc (4) respectively. The invention furthermore relates to a grinder (1) comprising such a disc grinding device (2).
