Abstract

An apparatus for brewing coffee, in particular for a coffee machine (1), comprises a brewing chamber (19) which is enclosed by a housing (10) and has a base (12) with an outflow (40) provided on one side and a nozzle assembly (8, 9, 11) provided on the opposite side, the nozzle assembly (8, 9, 11) comprising a nozzle (11) for supplying a fluid. The base (12) can be moved within the housing (10) and, depending on the degree to which the brewing chamber (19) is filled, the base (12) can be fixed in different positions for the brewing operation. It is thus possible for the apparatus for brewing coffee, while being of straightforward construction, to be adapted in a flexible manner to the desired quantity of coffee.
