Problems solved by technology

[0012] Furthermore, the capsule and the resilient sealing member require significant construction precision
The level of sophistication of construction techniques may affect production costs
[0013] Also, the use of a sealing member made of a different material than the capsule material means increased production costs

Embodiment Construction

[0027] With reference to said figures, the reference numeral 1 generally designates a system for preparing beverages according to the invention.

[0028] The system 1 according to the invention comprises a capsule 2 containing at least one powdered food (eg coffee powder) which can be extracted by passing pressurized water through it to prepare a drink (eg coffee). In the context of the present invention, the term powdered food refers to any substance that can be extracted by steeping or is soluble, such as coffee, tea, infusion / infusion, soup, etc.

[0029] The capsule 2 comprises a substantially cup-shaped body 3 with a central axis 4 . The body 3 of the capsule 2 is preferably a solid of revolution, the axis of which is the central axis 4 mentioned above. The main body 3 comprises a lower wall 5, a side wall 6 extending from the lower wall 5 and a peripheral edge 7 at the end of the side wall 6 opposite the lower wall 5 (upper end), which protrudes outwardly from the side ...

Abstract

A system (1 ) for making beverages comprises a capsule (2) containing a powdered food substance which can be extracted to make a beverage, and a capsule holder (9) comprising an infeed opening (11 ) through which the capsule (2) can be inserted, delimited by an annular edge (12) at the top of which there is a projecting annular element (19) and / or respectively an annular seat (20). The capsule (2) comprises a body (3) comprising a lower wall (5), a lateral wall (6) and a perimetric edge (7) on which there is an annular groove (21 ) on whose surface there is a bottom zone (23) and, laterally positioned on opposite sides of the bottom zone, two inner lateral faces (24,25), and / or respectively there is an annular tooth (22) on whose surface there is a tip portion (29) and, laterally positioned on opposite sides of the tip portion, two outer lateral faces (30, 31 ). The capsule holder (9) and the capsule (2) can adopt a sealed configuration where the projecting annular element (19), inserted in the annular groove (21 ), is in sealed contact with at least one of the inner lateral faces (24, 25), and / or respectively the annular seat (20) receives inside it the annular tooth (22) and is in sealed contact with at least one of the outer lateral faces (30, 31 ).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system for preparing beverages. Background technique [0002] In particular, the present invention relates to a system for preparing beverages based on a capsule containing a powdered food (eg coffee powder) through which water can be passed to extract the powdered food to prepare a beverage (eg coffee). Prior art systems include a capsule holder into which a capsule is inserted. In some systems, a blade is inserted into the capsule holder, which allows the bottom of the capsule to be torn open, creating an opening through which water can enter the capsule to interact with the food. The capsule also typically has a lid which allows the beverage to exit through it under suitable conditions. In fact, the cover can be of various types, for example simply pierced or, alternatively, composed of a metal foil that can be torn apart against the protruding element when the pressure in the capsule increases above a predetermined thre...
