1. A centrifugal coffee brewing device, comprising:
a spinning assembly which is rotatable about a main axis, the spinning assembly comprising:
a chamber element comprising a bottom wall and a roof portion, and
a cylinder element,
a deflection member arranged radially outside the spinning assembly,
wherein the chamber element and the cylinder element form a brewing chamber, and
a main drive for rotating the spinning assembly about the main axis for centrifuging the coffee,
wherein the cylinder element comprises a continuous wall for guiding coffee in an upward direction along said wall to the outside of the spinning assembly under the influence of the centrifugal force during spinning, wherein the continuous wall extends in an upward direction at an angle of at least 75 degrees to the horizontal, and
wherein the continuous wall extends from a first level located between a height of the bottom wall and a height of the roof portion to a second level located above the height of the roof portion of the chamber element
wherein the spinning assembly is configured to expel the coffee from the cylinder element in a radially outward direction with respect to the main axis towards the deflection member, such that a coffee path of the coffee extends in a radially outward direction from the cylinder element, wherein the deflection member is configured to deflect coffee which is expelled from the cylinder element in a downward direction.
