Apparatus for preparing coffee

Abstract

An apparatus for preparing coffee, with a holder arranged for receiving a pouch made of filter material and filled with a product to be extracted. The holder has at least one outflow opening and an access opening for placing the pouch in the holder. The apparatus has a cover for closing and releasing the access opening and a clamping device for pressing the holder and the cover towards each other when the cover closes off the access opening of the holder. The clamping device engages at least a position of the cover located on an external surface of the cover. The apparatus has a housing to which the holder is detachably connected, the clamping device has a rotation element with a first and second opposite ends. The rotation element is connected adjacent its first end to the housing for rotation about a horizontally directed first rotation axis between a first and second rotational position for closing the access opening in the second rotational position and releasing it in the first rotational position. The apparatus has a closing arrangement for detachably connecting the rotation element to the housing adjacent the second end when the cover closes off the access opening. The cover is connected to the rotation element such that in the second rotational position the rotation axis extends along a first side of the cover and the second end is located on a second side of the cover opposite the first side.
