Abstract

The invention concerns of a tank (1) for storing a food or beverage powder (3) and a powder refilling container (2) for refilling said tank with powder, in which : - the tank comprises a storing chamber(11) and a powder inlet (12), -the powder refilling container comprises a powder outlet (21), the powder outlet of the powder refilling container and the powder inlet of the tank being designed for cooperating together in order to create a connection and a path for powder between the powder outlet of the powder refilling container and the powder inlet of the tank, and wherein the connection between the powder outlet of the powder refilling container and the powder inlet of the tank is designed so that, once the powder inlet and the powder outlet are connected, the connection enables the positioning of the powder outlet of the powder refilling container : - in one first position wherein the powder outlet of the powder refilling container is oriented upwardly, - in one second position wherein the powder outlet of the powder refilling container is oriented downwardly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a beverage dispenser which prepares a beverage using soluble powder stored in a canister and dispenses a dose of powder from the canister to prepare the beverage. Background technique [0002] Espresso and other coffee drinks, milk drinks, chocolate drinks and many other drinks are prepared by mixing soluble food or drink powder with diluent in mixing equipment. The mixing device may comprise a dissolution chamber into which the soluble components and diluent are fed. The diluent can be introduced into the dissolution chamber to create a vortex to effectively dissolve the soluble powder in the hot water, or the hot diluent can be introduced in a jet that provides mixing, dissolving and frothing. Finally the mixture can also be frothed by a whisk in the dissolving chamber in order to reconstitute the drink and create foam. The beverage is then typically discharged into a receptacle for consumption. These devices also ...
