Problems solved by technology

Setting up a barcode has some drawbacks: First, since the barcode must be visible on the outer surface of the capsule, this naturally has a negative impact on the aesthetics of the capsule
On the other hand, there is always the danger that, in the environment of the beverage production process, for example water / steam deposited on the barcode or on the optics of the reader will impair the readability of the barcode

Embodiment Construction

[0052] In general, one aspect of the invention is that the beverage production machine 11 is designed to produce beverages from capsules 1 positioned at dedicated beverage production locations of the beverage production machine 11 . Such as figure 1 As shown, the capsule has a dedicated compartment for containing beverage ingredients 5 .

[0053] The liquid 3 controlled by the control unit 10 of the beverage production machine 11 is brought into the capsule 1 in order to interact with the ingredients 5 contained in the capsule 1 . The result of the interaction, ie the produced beverage or liquid food (referenced 4 ), is then available from the beverage production machine 11 .

[0054] Typical examples of the type of interaction between the liquid 3 and the ingredients 5 are brewing, mixing, extraction, dissolving etc. Different types of ingredients can be present in the beverage compartment and different types of interactions can take place in the capsule.

Abstract

A beverage ingredient capsule (l)is provided with an identification member (6) designed for being physically contacted from outside in order to control operation parameters of an associated beverage production machine.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of producing liquid food or beverages from ingredients contained in capsules. Background technique [0002] In recent years, capsules containing beverage ingredients have been widely used in the production of different types of beverages, such as tea or coffee and other liquid foods. These capsules are designed to be used in conjunction with specialized beverage production machines having means for supplying liquid to the interior of the capsules so that the liquid interacts with the ingredients contained in the capsules, the result of this interaction is to produce drinks or other liquid food. [0003] Some known machines have complex control systems that set all types of operating parameters of the beverage production process. These parameters may include, for example (a non-exhaustive list): the temperature and volume of liquid supplied to the interior of the capsule, and the duration of interac...
