Abstract
A coffee grinder adapted to discharge ground coffee directly into a brewing funnel which is readily insertable and removable from the grinder. The grinder is equipped with brewing funnel support means in the form of a pair of spring clips mounted to the grinder. The spring clips have two pairs of yieldably spreadable support elements for accommodating brewing funnels of different sizes. Thus, large size brewing funnels that would result in permanent distortion of the pair of support elements suitable for smaller funnels can be accommodated in the second pair of support elements without producing permanent distortion of the later.
