ABSTRACT:
In order to feed single-portions of ground coffee arranged along a transportation tape in a defined and automatic manner to the brewing chamber of a coffee machine, the invention provides a mechanical interface assembly which comprises means for fixing a portion of the transportation tape in a well defined position. The interface assembly comprises a first interface member connected to or being part of a container receiving the transportation tape with the single-portions of ground coffee, and a second interface member designed as a supporting frame member adapted to receive the container with the transporting tape. The first and second interface members can be mechanically coupled to each other. The mechanical interface assembly is further provided with positioning elements for fixing it in the coffee machine in a well defined position. Moreover, the invention provides a container member for receiving a transportation tape equipped with a plurality of single-portions of ground coffee, which container member is adapted to cooperate with or comprises a mechanical interface member, as well as a transportation tape adapted to cooperate with a mechanical interface assembly.
