ABSTRACT:
A dispensing control assembly for use with a grinding apparatus to controllably dispense coffee beans therethrough. The grinding apparatus includes a hopper in gravity feed relationship with the dispensing control assembly and a grinder positioned below the dispensing control assembly for grinding material dispensed therethrough. The dispensing control assembly includes a slide plate retained between the hopper and the grinder for selective movement between an open and a closed position. A moving mechanism is provided and coupled to the slide plate for moving the slide plate between the open position and the closed position. A baffle is also provided which extends over a portion of the slide plate facing the hopper with the baffle creating a void therebelow to facilitate movement of the slide plate into the closed position and avoid trapping coffee beans.
