It is proposed in a centrifugal filter having two housing parts which are rotatable relative to one another and surround the brewing space to provide at least one of the housing parts with at least one shoulder which projects into the region of the brewing space receiving the ground coffee and detaches or destroys the cake of coffee grains when the housing parts are moved relative to one another so that said cake can be removed easily and completely from the centrifugal filter. <IMAGE>
