Embodiment Construction

[0078] Such as figure 1 with figure 2 As shown, the preferred disposable capsule 1 of the present invention generally includes a concave disc-shaped body 2 on which a perforated membrane 3 is sealed. The membrane 3 is sealed to the peripheral edge 4 of the body at the annular sealing portion 5 on the inside. The edge 4 may extend outward to form a small annular sealing portion 5 of about 2-10 mm. The concave disc-shaped body includes a bottom wall 6 and a side wall 7, and the side wall 7 preferably widens toward the large open end of the body opposite to the bottom wall. The concave disc-shaped body is preferably rigid or semi-rigid. It can be made of food grade plastics (such as polypropylene) or aluminum alloys or plastic and aluminum alloys with a gas barrier layer (such as EVOH, etc.) or biodegradable materials (such as PLA or starch and fiber-based synthetic resins) production. The film 3 may be made of a thinner material such as a plastic film layer that also includes...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a capsule (1) insert able in a beverage production device (23) for preparing a beverage from a substance contained in the capsule by introducing liquid in the capsule and passing liquid through the substance using centrifugal forces for producing the beverage which is centrifuged peripherally in the capsule relatively to a central axis (A) of the capsule corresponding to an axis of rotation during the centrifuging operation comprising : an enclosure containing a predetermined amount of beverage substance, a cup-like shaped body (2), an upper wall (3) for closing the body, wherein it comprises a flange-like rim (4) extending outwardly from the body which comprises an annular raising portion (8) forming a restriction for the centrifuged liquid flow path when said portion is engaged by a pressing surface of the beverage production device.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a capsule and a device that utilizes centrifugal force to pass liquid through a beverage substance contained in the capsule to prepare a beverage from the beverage substance. Background technique [0002] A method for preparing beverages is known in which a mixture composed of brewed coffee and ground coffee is separated by centrifugal force. This mixture is obtained by mixing hot water and coffee powder together for a predetermined time. The water is then forced through the screen, on which there is powder. [0003] Existing systems include placing coffee grounds into a reservoir, which is usually a non-removable part of the machine, as described in EP 0 367 60081, for example. This equipment has many disadvantages. First, the ground coffee must be manually dosed into the reservoir. Secondly, the coffee waste subjected to centrifugation becomes dry and must be removed by scraping the surface of the reservoir. As a result...
