Description

1 TARIFF FEATURING A CONSTANT GRINDING MECHANISM SPECIFICALLY FOR EACH TYPE OF COFFEE, RECYCLED. REFILLABLE PACKAGING SYSTEM Technical Area The invention relates to a glass packaging structure with a grinding head and hopper, developed for various types of coffee. 5 The invention is particularly useful for users who can directly adjust the grinding setting to a specific, fixed level for each type of coffee. Refillable glass jars that allow for grinding before consumption. It relates to the packaging structure consisting of a usable grinder and a lid. State of the Art Coffee consumption is increasing worldwide, and consumers are demanding fresh, high-quality coffee. In response to delivery demands, many different packaging and grinding solutions have been developed. However, The systems currently in use have significant shortcomings. There are currently two main 15 systems on the market. The following approach stands out: firstly, selling pre-ground coffee in packaging; secondly, freshly ground coffee at home using manual or electric grinders along with coffee beans. It is to be done. Pre-ground coffee is usually packaged in aluminum-based packets or 20-inch kraft paper containers. It is sold in bags. This type of packaging preserves the freshness of the coffee after opening. It is insufficient, its aromatic components disappear quickly, and the coffee becomes stale. Therefore, coffee has a noticeable difference in taste quality if it is not consumed shortly after the package is opened. A decline in quality occurs. This is a serious issue, especially for individuals who consume little coffee daily. This leads to a loss of 25%. Ground coffee should be consumed immediately because it loses 25% in a short time. It starts to go stale. When coffee beans are ground, their surface area increases significantly, and this situation It accelerates the interaction of coffee with oxygen, moisture, light, and volatile compounds. Coffee contains more than 800 such compounds. It contains volatile aroma compounds. These include substances such as furfural, pyrazines, and aldehydes. It absorbs them. Immediately after the grinding process, these volatile compounds begin to evaporate within minutes. Studies have shown that aromatic compounds in coffee are released in the first 15 minutes after grinding. It has been shown that more than 60% is lost. This loss is largely due to oxidation and It occurs due to volatility. Oxidation is the contact of lipids and aroma compounds with air. It is a rapid chemical decomposition process that occurs as a result. Volatility, on the other hand, is the evaporation of volatile compounds. This means that the coffee is removed from the environment, which causes the aromatic properties of the coffee to rapidly diminish. This leads to... Also, coffee has a hygroscopic structure, meaning it easily absorbs moisture from its surroundings. This also... 35 2 This is another factor that accelerates staleness. For all these reasons, coffee should be left to stand for 10-15 days after grinding. Brewing within minutes is the ideal method. That's why this invention, which provides instant grinding, is so effective. These solutions help preserve the aroma and freshness of the coffee to the maximum extent. Users who intend to consume fresh coffee usually buy coffee beans and use them manually or in 5-inch cups. They are forced to use electric grinders. Although these devices are widely available on the market... However, its use can be complicated, especially for novice consumers. Finding the correct grinding level. adjusting, achieving the desired grind fineness for the type of coffee, and portioning. It requires experience. Also, these devices are usually expensive and take up extra space in the kitchen. In situations where portability is important, such as traveling or camping, using such devices is practical. 10 It is not. Integrated mill solutions are most commonly found in the spice industry. Salt and... Packaging systems with grinder caps, designed for products like black pepper, are suitable for coffee. No, because these systems are not suitable for processing larger and denser materials like coffee beans. It does not have sufficient durability and grinding precision. Current systems have several disadvantages from the user's perspective. Pre-ground Loss of freshness and aroma in coffee is inevitable. Grinderless systems allow the user to enjoy fresh coffee. This distances us from the experience; grinding systems are costly and cumbersome. Furthermore, these 20 The fact that the devices are not portable poses a major obstacle to their use outside the home. In addition to these... In this way, users can create their own blends by purchasing coffee beans from different brands. This makes it difficult for brands to build loyalty, and creates indecision and inconsistency among users. It leads to consumption habits. One of the systems developed with the aim of offering users freshly ground coffee, Patent number WO2024100613A1 and titled "Integrated Grinding and Extraction Machine" This is the invention that is the subject of the application. It is for grinding food grains, preferably whole coffee beans. A coffee grinder is described, which includes a grinding unit and can be operated manually or by motor. This system has 30 compartments in which at least one disposable capsule containing the aforementioned cores can be inserted. It houses a cavity. The capsule has a normally closed exit point, and this exit leads to the capsule itself. By rotating and / or moving it relative to the socket, it opens and the seeds are released from the capsule. It allows for the capsule to exit. The housing is aligned with the capsule's exit and the kernels are fed into the grinding unit. It is in communication via a channel that enables its guidance. In the housing, the capsule's closing element... There is a mechanism that helps to remove it, at least partially. This structure is activated when the capsule is rotated or 35 When moved, the nuclei inside the capsule exit the exit channel freely and without being attached. This patent application allows for sliding access to the beans. It stores coffee beans in capsules. 3 While it allows for grinding with an integrated system, it cannot completely solve the existing problem. Because The system is based on a single-use capsule structure, and these capsules are filled in the factory. It is mandatory; it cannot be refilled by the consumer. Also, the fixed grinding degree setting allows for different... It does not offer specific calibration for different types of coffee; this does not eliminate consumer errors and It does not provide flexibility in use. The system works mostly integrated with in-machine extraction, therefore 5 It does not offer a practical solution that can be prepared directly by hand. This also means portability, reusability, and This means it doesn't adequately meet user needs, such as manual control. The technical solutions currently available are user-friendly, economical, portable, and aroma-rich. It fails to simultaneously offer both protective and brand loyalty-building qualities. This is why 10 This clearly demonstrates the need for innovative, integrated, and user-centric new systems. Conclusion developed for coffee types that eliminate the disadvantages existing in the current technique. The need for and availability of glass packaging structures with grinding heads and hoppers. The inadequacy of the solutions has made it necessary to make improvements in the relevant technical field. Brief Description of the Invention The present invention meets the aforementioned requirements while eliminating all disadvantages. and glass grinder heads and containers developed for coffee types that offer some additional advantages. It relates to the packaging structure made from any food-grade material. 20 Based on the current state of the art, the aim of the invention is to provide coffee consumers with a variety of coffee types. offering a suitable constant grinding setting, performing the grinding process directly on the packaging, and thus providing advantages such as freshness, practicality, ease of portioning and brand loyalty, Reusable and refillable packaging or pre-filled packaging (cartridge) without a mill 25 its structure is being improved. The aim of the invention is to integrate the grinding system directly into the packaging, thereby processing the coffee. The goal is to ensure its freshness is preserved. Another aim of the invention is to provide a fixed grind degree specific to each type of coffee. The goal is to eliminate user errors and the need for grinding adjustments. Another purpose of the invention is that each batch of coffee made with the ground coffee container located inside the lid... A single 35mm turn suitable for espresso, Turkish coffee, and filter coffee, respectively, with one, two, three, or four turns. The system calculates the quantity of coffee needed for individual servings and prepares coffee at the user's desired intensity. The aim is to provide ease of use by offering this possibility. 4 Another advantage of the invention is that the grinder lid is reusable, thus reducing costs. The goal is to save money and ensure environmental sustainability. Another purpose of the invention is to provide long-term storage thanks to the fact that the glass jar is refillable.
