- the operator can adjust the grinding degree of the coffee beans on the basis of the data displayed, it being pointed out in EP 1 955 624 Bl at the same time that if the grinding degree setting is too fine, the brewing device is blocked.
- the degree of grinding of the material to be ground that is to say the degree of grinding of the ground coffee, can have an influence on the gustatory properties of the coffee beverage produced. Above all, it is possible that the optimum freeness range varies with different types of coffee beverages. So one is often eager to prefer the coffee beans with an espresso to process fine ground coffee (fine grind), while z. B. in a coffee American cooking a coarser freeness is desirable.
- the known methods and devices have the disadvantage that, in particular with very fine grinding of the Inpul ⁇ vers, which is located during the brewing process in the brewing chamber, the water pressure required to penetrate this coffee powder is very large. This may be undesirable, firstly, because the quality of the prepared Kaf ⁇ feegetränks may drop by; It can, for example, taste or any other abnormality erge ⁇ ben if the brewing pressure is too high.
- the present invention has for its object to avoid the disadvantages mentioned, and in particular a Ver ⁇ drive for producing a coffee beverage in a brewing device or a coffee machine for performing the method indicate, with each of which a high quality of a coffee beverage obtained by the brewing process can be achieved can, and indeed at very different degrees of grinding of the ground material.

- Such switching is particularly considered when the above-mentioned process steps are repeatedly performed, that is, when the brewing water characteristic is repeatedly determined during a brewing process. It is thus provided according to this aspect that is selectively switched between the pulse mode and the continuous mode, depending on ⁇ which, which were determined current characteristics of the brewing water characteristic.
- the brewing water-characteristic quantity itself is the ge ⁇ metered volume flow of the brewing water fed to the brewing chamber inlet.
- the mode setting parameter for the second brewing water-supply mode is then carried out using the measured flow rate or a function of the gemes ⁇ Senen volume flow of the fed to the brewing chamber brewing water inlet.
- a lower measured volume flow of the supplied to the brewing chamber inlet brewing water may indicate a difficult passage of the brewing water through the material to be ground in ⁇ inside the brewing chamber, which is caused for example by a fine freeness.
- ⁇ derum is in the simplest case, the brewing water-characteristic quantity itself, the measured volume flow of the brewing water exiting from the chamber outlet.

Likewise, it is also possible to first provide a degres ⁇ intensive course of the on times of the pulses at which then adjoins a progressive course of the switch-on times of the pulses. In an analogous way, it is possible that the period of the ⁇ art is changed, that results in a progressive or degressive time course of the pause durations of the pulses.
- the pulse mode was already selected, then switched to the continuous ⁇ union mode, and then switched back into the pulse mode with changed pulse characteristics. It is alternatively or additionally possible that the additional pulse characteristics are changed while the second brewing water supply mode is carried out in the pulse mode, as already described above. Changing the additional pulse characteristics may in turn comprise progressive and / or degressive time courses of the pulse duty cycle, the pulse break duration and / or the pulse turn-on time.

- the pulsing supply can be recognized by the fluctuations of the pressure curve P3 and the flow Q3 for the flow in FIG. 13. It is assumed that by operating in the pulsed mode on the ground material certain shocks are exerted, which gradually loosen the ground material and facilitate the Hin pentre ⁇ th of brewing water.
