The technical solution provided by the utility model blocks the discharging port by a splash guard, so that the coffee beans will not rebound into the feeding barrel, the grinding efficiency is higher, the discharging amount is more uniform, and the user experience is better.
[0003] However, the coffee bean grinder of the above structure still has the following shortcomings: (1) The discharge port of the above feed barrel is not provided with a closing component, that is, the discharge port is always in an open state. Therefore, the feed barrel must be installed on the coffee bean grinder before coffee beans can be added to the feed barrel, which is inconvenient to operate. In addition, if the user adds coffee beans to the feed barrel when the coffee bean grinder is turned on, it is easy to cause the coffee beans to splash out of the feed barrel, causing certain safety hazards.
