A coffee machine, for measuring and dispensing a desired quantity of coffee material, comprising a coffee bin, for holding coffee material, the coffee bin having a bin nozzle. A measuring disk is mounted below the bin nozzle, the measuring disk having a plurality of measuring cavities－each measuring cavity corresponding to a quantity of coffee material. A selector knob allows a user to align a specific measuring cavity directly below the bin nozzle. An upper solenoid selectively allows and prevents the flow of coffee material from the bin nozzle to the measuring cavity directly below the bin nozzle. A lower solenoid selectively allows the flow of coffee material from the measuring cavity directly below the bin nozzle, and prevents coffee material flow from that measuring cavity to allow it to fill with coffee material.

A coffee machine, for measuring and dispensing a quantity of coffee selected by a user, comprising: a) a bin, for holding coffee material, the bin having a bin nozzle; b) a dispensing disk, having a plurality of dispensing measuring cavities, the dispensing cavities varying in size from each other and extending through the dispensing disk; c) a selector knob, mechanically connected to the dispensing disk, the selector knob moving the measuring disk to align one of the measuring cavities with the bin nozzle that corresponds to the desired quantity of coffee material to be dispensed; d) an upper solenoid, having an upper solenoid plate mounted beneath the bin nozzle, the upper solenoid plate is slidable to selectively: i) retract to a position where it allows coffee material to flow from the bin nozzle into the measuring cavity directly below the bin nozzle, and ii) extend to a position where it covers one of the measuring cavities directly below the bin nozzle to prevent the flow of coffee material from the bin nozzle; and e) a lower solenoid, having a lower solenoid plate mounted beneath the bin nozzle, the lower solenoid plate is slidable to selectively: i) retract to a position where it allows coffee material to flow from the measuring cavity directly below the bin nozzle, and ii) extend to a position where it prevents the flow of coffee material from the measuring cavity directly below the bin nozzle, to allow that measuring cavity to fill with coffee material.
