Embodiment Construction

[0069] First, the general brewing principle of the present invention and a first embodiment of the capsule of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 .

[0070] The capsule system 1 comprises a capsule 2 and a beverage brewing device 10 . For convenience, the beverage brewing device is only schematically shown, in fact, those skilled in the art can imagine that it also includes other technical features. The capsule comprises an enclosure 20 containing a beverage ingredient, such as leaf tea. The enclosure is delimited by a cup-shaped housing 21 and a filter wall 22 fixedly connected to a circumferential inner step 23 of the housing 21 . The enclosure is preferably air and light tight. The housing can have different cross-sections, such as circular, oval, square, rectangular or polygonal, which determine the overall profile of the filter wall 22 . The enclosure is dimensioned to contain a dose of the leaf beverage ingredient, typically about 1...

Abstract

Capsule for the preparation of a beverage in a beverage machine comprising an enclosure (20) containing one or more beverage ingredients, a filtering wall (22) delimiting at least one filtering side of the enclosure, wherein the capsule further comprises an overflow wall (3B) that is positioned in the path of the brewed liquid after the filtering wall and which comprises at least one overflow aperture or is associated with at least one puncture means (8A, 8B) or, respectively, puncture indication means capable of producing or, respectively, indicating at least one overflow aperture. The capsule of the invention is designed for delivering a brewed liquid at relatively low pressure and is more particularly suited for tea beverages.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a capsule for preparing and delivering a beverage in a brewing / brewing device. More particularly, the present invention consists in providing a capsule suitable for delivering brewed tea, although other beverages can also be successfully brewed in the capsule. Background technique [0002] Different beverage capsules are known for brewing beverages in suitable beverage machines. However, none of the existing capsules can deliver a high quality tea beverage from a capsule containing a leaf tea product or the like. [0003] The quality of tea beverages depends largely on the quality of the leaf tea ingredients, i.e. the background origin of the leaf tea (soil, drying, blending, etc.) and storage conditions. For example, tea ingredients are generally sensitive to oxygen and light. Preferred tea ingredients are obtained from loose leaves and chiselled or crushed into small pieces. However, brewing conditions are also ve...
