Abstract
A bag-receiving chute combination for a coffee grinder which has a downwardly facing discharge opening from which different sized batches of ground coffee discharge into bags of correspondingly different heights. The combination comprises an elongated, channel-shaped chute body adapted to be mounted underneath the grinder discharge opening so as to extend downwardly with sufficient spacing from the grinder body to permit insertion of the mouth of a bag around the chute. In addition there is a bag mouth spreader so shaped and mounted on the chute as to prevent a user from incorrectly mounting a bag under and around the chute.
