Abstract of the Disclosure A coffee grinder discharge chute for use with a coffee grinder operatively attached to a discharge opening in the grinder. The chute is comprised of a generally vertical elongate channel-shaped body having a generally tubular upper section and a channel-shaped lower portion. A grind directing cover is hingedly attached to the chute body over the channel-shaped lower portion to adjustably enclose the flow of ground coffee discharged through the chute thereby shielding the discharged ground coffee from ambient air currents. An end of the chute has sides which are cut back to provide increased grind flow therethrough and an inwardly directed end portion against which the coffee exerts a force to open the hingedly attached cover member. A chaff suppressing grinder discharge cleaning baffle is attached generally in the upper portion of the chute body. The baffle includes a plate member to which is attached a plunger and a clean-out lever. The plunger extends into the discharge opening of the grinder to remove ground coffee which cakes therein and to knock loose any coffee accumulations. The plunger is automatically moved through the discharged opening by attachment to the plate member which is biasedly moved by a prespecified amount of ground coffee. The clean-out lever provides manual movement of the plate member and attached plunger.
