"coffee machine".

3 The innovation relates to a coffee

' housing a coffee pot for collecting the coffee.

&Psgr;-. can be brought.

F 5 Such a coffee machine is generally

[ Most coffee drinkers like their coffee to have a little

\ Milk. A significant portion of coffee drinkers like cream,

which are commercially available in bottles or cans. The

The remaining part, which should not be underestimated, likes warm milk, 10 which has to be heated in a separate pot: mostly either on an electric hotplate or on the Gas stove.

Especially for this last group of coffee drinkers, the innovation has the task of making the coffee machine

|· 15 of the type described above. I The new coffee machine has

: the mark that in the niche mentioned a

\ Milk jug can be accommodated.

\ A preferred embodiment of the new

i 20 according to coffee machines, the mark au/* indicates that \ the milk jug is equipped with an electric heating element

\ which is connected to a connector on the outside

¹ of the milk jug and the housing of the machine

; is provided with a corresponding mating connector to which,

"\ 25 the mains voltage can be connected. Such a I machine has the advantage that when the milk jug

\ is removed from the niche, the heating element through l/nter-

^!i interruption of the supply current automatically switched off and

when the jug is returned to the niche,

■ 30 is switched on. Especially if the milk jug is also I equipped with a thermostatic temperature control,

According to another embodiment, the coffee machine is provided with a heating element located in the bottom of the niche, on which the milk jug can be placed.

An example of the innovation can be found in the

drawing and is described in more detail below. Shown are:

removed milk can.

The coffee machine consists of a housing 1 with a water tank 2, a filter device 3 and a filter element 4 which is to be accommodated underneath in a niche 4 of the housing. Coffee pot 5 is installed. The coffee machine works according to the normal flow heater principle. According to the innovation, a milk jug 6 can be accommodated in the niche k in addition to the coffee pot 5. This milk jug is equipped with its own heating element with a (not shown) Thermostat control, which prevents the milk from boiling over. The milk jug is provided with a connector plug 7 for the electrical connection. The housing of the coffee machine is provided with a counter-plug 8 in the place of the niche, to which the

2g the supply voltage can be connected. If the Milk jug is placed in the niche, the connection plug 7 is pushed into the corresponding mating plug 8 and the electrical connection to the heating element is established.

Instead of the milk jug having its own

heating element, it is also possible to provide an electric heating plate (not shown) in the bottom of the niche k , which is comparable to a hotplate for the coffee pot, only with a larger

Power at which the milk jug can be placed.
