1. Coffee bean container for releasably fixing on a coffee grinder or a coffee machine having an integrated coffee grinder, the coffee bean container comprising a first bean compartment (3) comprising a first bean outlet (6) and at least one second bean compartment (4) comprising a second bean outlet (6), closure means (12) assigned to the bean outlets (5, 6) for closing the bean outlets (5, 6), locking means (13) for locking the bean container to the coffee grinder or to the coffee machine, and an actuating element (8) actuatable by a user and moveable relative to the bean compartments (3, 4), wherein the actuating element (8) is designed and arranged for both opening all bean outlets (5, 6) and for locking the locking means (13) with a single actuating movement, and/or both for closing all bean outlets (5, 6) and unlocking the locking means (12) with a single actuating movement, wherein the closure means (12) are designed in such a way that all bean outlets (5, 6) are closed at a common closure time or wherein the closure means (12) are designed in such a way that the first and the second bean outlets (5, 6) can be closed temporarily offset. 2. Coffee bean container according to claim 1, wherein the actuating element (8) is arranged to be rotatable around a rotation axis, and wherein the actuation element (8) is assigned means (16) for converting a rotating actuating movement into a translatory displacement movement of the closing means (12) and the locking means (13). 3. Coffee bean container according to claim 1, wherein the closure means (12) and the locking means (13) are actuatable by means of the common actuating element (8) in such a way that a closure movement of the closure means (12) for closing the bean outlets (5, 6) is adapted to an unlocking movement of the locking means (13) in such a way that at least one closing movement for closing one of the bean outlets (5, 6) is/are not yet completed when the locking means (13) have reached their unlocking position. 4. Coffee bean container according to claim 1, wherein the locking means (13) and the closure means (12) comprise separate or common slider means (14), which can be displaced in a translatory manner by actuating the actuating element (8). 5. Coffee bean container according to claim 4, wherein a rack and pinion gear (17) is provided for the conversion of rotational actuation movement of the actuating element (8) into a translatory displacement movement of the slider means (14). 6. Coffee bean container according to claim 5, wherein the rack and pinion gear (17) comprises a shaft extending parallel to the longitudinal central axes of the bean outlets (5, 6) and/or perpendicular to a surface extension of the slider means (14), which forms the actuating element (8) or can be rotated by this element. 7. Coffee bean container according to claim 4, wherein the slider means (14) comprise recesses (24, 25) for the bean outlets (5, 6) which are formed as peripherally closed through openings (26, 27), which are flush with the bean outlets if said bean outlets (5, 6) are open. 8. Coffee bean container according to claim 4, wherein the actuating movement of the actuating element (8) is at least partially decoupled from a closure movement of at least one-closure element/s (34, 35) of the closure means (12) that can be adjusted together with the slider means (14), in order to allow actuating the actuating elements into an actuation end position even if one of the closure elements (34, 35) can not be adjusted in a closure end position due to a coffee bean being trapped in the assigned bean outlet (5, 6). 9. Coffee bean container according to claim 8, wherein at least one of the closure elements (34, 35) is arranged in a spring-loaded manner in the direction of its closure end position, in particular on the slider means (14). 10. Coffee bean container according to claim 1, wherein the actuating element (8) is actuatable from a top side of the coffee bean container and is arranged in an area between two separate, removable covers for the bean compartments (2, 3). 11. Coffee grinder or coffee machine with integrated coffee grinder and a coffee bean container (1) that can be releasably locked thereto according to claim 1. 12. Method of operating a coffee bean container having a first bean compartment (3) comprising a first bean outlet (6) and at least one second bean compartment (4) comprising a second bean outlet (6), closure means (12) assigned to the bean outlets (5, 6) for closing the bean outlets (5, 6), locking means (13) for locking the bean container to the coffee grinder or to the coffee machine, and an actuating element (8) actuatable by a user and moveable relative to the bean compartments (3, 4), wherein by actuating the actuation element (8) by means of a single actuation movement, both all bean outlets (5, 6) are opened and the locking means (12) are locked, and/or by actuating the actuating element (8) by means of a single actuating movement (8), both all bean outlets (5, 6) are closed and the locking means (12) are unlocked, wherein the closure means (12) are designed in such a way that all bean outlets (5, 6) are closed at a common closure time or wherein the closure means (12) are designed in such a way that the first and the second bean outlets (5, 6) can be closed temporarily offset. 13. Coffee bean container according to claim 3, wherein all closing movements for closing all bean outlets (5, 6) are not yet completed when the locking means (13) have reached their unlocking position. 14. Coffee bean container according to claim 7, wherein all recesses (24, 25) for the bean outlets (5, 6) are arranged on a common slider element (15). 15. Coffee bean container according to claim 8, wherein the actuating movement of the actuating element (8) is at least partially decoupled from a closure movement of all closure elements (34, 35). 16.
