1. A coffee grinder for grinding coffee, comprising a filling device for refillable coffee capsules, including a filling tube, comprising an access opening, through which ground coffee can drop into the filling tube, and furthermore comprising a ram, which is guided in the filling tube and can be moved up and down therein so as to compress the ground coffee that has dropped from the coffee grinder through the access opening and the filling tube into the refillable coffee capsule, wherein a receptacle for the refillable coffee capsule is selectively positionable beneath the filling tube, which on a top side defines an entirety of a circumference of a depression for receiving the refillable coffee capsule and which, by way of a vertical shaft, is mounted in a mount present at the coffee grinder and can be pivoted to the side, so that the refillable coffee capsule in the depression, in both end positions of the pivoting movement, ends up either beneath the filling tube and can be filled, or can be pivoted out from beneath the filling tube so far so as to be removable toward the top, and further comprising an arm extending from the vertical shaft to an exterior circumferential surface of the receptacle, the arm pivotably coupled relative to a housing of the coffee grinder such that the receptable is pivotable relative to the filling tube.
