Embodiment Construction

[0019] Referring to the drawings, numeral 1 designates a container for making beverages in its entirety according to the present invention. Similar to the prior art containers as indicated, the container according to the invention also contains powdered food (not shown in the drawings), which allows a drink to be made by passing hot water through it, and is contained in Formed in the housing cavity 2 inside the cup-shaped containing body 3 . Said containment body 3 comprises a tubular side wall 4 comprising a first edge 5 and a second edge 6 at opposite ends. A bottom portion 7 is connected to the first edge 5 , said bottom portion 7 extending transversely to the side wall 4 (and transversely to the central axis of the container 1 ) and thus closing the housing cavity 2 on one side. At the second edge 6, the side wall 4 forms a radial flange 8 extending outwardly from the container 1 and to which a closure element 9 is fixed (advantageously by sealing or gluing), Said closin...

Abstract

A capsule for making beverages, contains a powdered food substance which can be extracted by passing hot water through it.The capsule (1 ) comprises a cup-shaped containment body (3) which inside it forms a chamber (2) for housing (16) the powdered food substance, and which comprises a bottom portion (7) through which, in use, hot water can be fed into the capsule (1), and a lateral wall (4) connected to the bottom portion (7) and forming an access opening for accessing the chamber (2), and a closing element (9) fixed to the lateral wall (4) at the access opening for closing it, and through which, in use, the beverage can come out of the chamber (2). The capsule (1) also comprises a filter element (10) which is permeable to water and positioned inside the chamber (2) between the powdered food substance and the bottom portion (7), the filter element (10) resting on the bottom portion (7) and being free to move away from the latter towards the inside of the chamber (2) except for the resistance applied by the powdered food substance. The invention also relates to a system for making beverages which comprises the capsule (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a container for making a drink, in particular a container comprising a powdered food inside it, allowing the drink to be made by passing hot water through it. The invention also relates to a system for making a beverage comprising said container. Background technique [0002] In particular, although the present invention can be applied in the following two situations: the case of a substance which is expected to allow the making of a drink after the substance has been practically completely dissolved in hot water; and the case of a powdered food (such as coffee) which is expected to allow the making of a drink by extraction powders), but the invention is preferably contemplated for the latter type of container. [0003] In more detail, the present invention aims to define a new type of container that can be advantageously used in coffee machines of the system currently widespread on the market, in which the container i...
