<p>A container for a beverage-preparation device includes a storage chamber for pulverulent material, a discharge opening in a chamber wall, a conveying element which extends in a direction of transport, adjoins the opening, is rotatable about a longitudinal axis and is situated in the chamber, and a dispensing duct which adjoins the opening, is situated at least partly outside the chamber, has a predetermined diameter and a longitudinal direction which runs at an angle with respect to the transport direction, the conveying element extending at least substantially as far as the dispensing duct. A flexible elongate scraping member is rotatably connected to the conveying element by its first end and extends in the longitudinal direction from the conveying element into the dispensing duct. The scraping member, which may be configured to be helical, prevents pulverulent material from sticking against the inner wall, while ensuring good conveying and metering action.</p> |
