Description
SINGLE-USE FOOD-GRADE PLASTIC OR ALUMINIUM CUP SYSTEM WITH
INTEGRAL PRESSED GROUND COFFEE FOR PLACING IN THE CAVITY
OF AN ESPRESSO COFFEE MAKER
DESCRIPTION
io OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a food-grade plastic or aluminium cup or bowl system, for either single or double filling of pressed ground coffee in its inside for placing in a cavity of an espresso coffee maker, ready for being dispensed and thus achieving a cup of coffee.
The object of the invention is to achieve a cup of espresso coffee in the 2o easiest, cleanest and simplest way, since as the bowl is single-use, and it simply has to be placed inside the cavity since it contains the pressed ground coffee inside it, so we dispense with the manual dosing of the grinder and also the noise which this produces due to having to grind the coffee.
Another fact to highlight is that, due to using a bowl with the pressed ground coffee for single-use integral with it, this means that in the following dose of coffee that is dispensed there will not be any remains of the coffee dispensed earlier, as occurs in the traditional system with fixed metal bowls which are then refilled with coffee every time a cup is required.
It is also an object of the invention to solve the problem of the mixing of flavours, since the market offers espresso coffee with different flavours so that, with the traditional system of fixed bowl, the flavours can become mixed due to the waiter merely emptying the grounds of the coffee that has just been dispensed into a container and, with the remains of previous coffees being left, and the consequent possibility of mixing flavours, a pure and optimum cup is therefore not obtained as can be obtained with the bowl containing pressed ground coffee for single-use for the cavity of an espresso coffee maker.
INTEGRAL PRESSED GROUND COFFEE FOR PLACING IN THE CAVITY
OF AN ESPRESSO COFFEE MAKER
DESCRIPTION
io OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a food-grade plastic or aluminium cup or bowl system, for either single or double filling of pressed ground coffee in its inside for placing in a cavity of an espresso coffee maker, ready for being dispensed and thus achieving a cup of coffee.
The object of the invention is to achieve a cup of espresso coffee in the 2o easiest, cleanest and simplest way, since as the bowl is single-use, and it simply has to be placed inside the cavity since it contains the pressed ground coffee inside it, so we dispense with the manual dosing of the grinder and also the noise which this produces due to having to grind the coffee.
Another fact to highlight is that, due to using a bowl with the pressed ground coffee for single-use integral with it, this means that in the following dose of coffee that is dispensed there will not be any remains of the coffee dispensed earlier, as occurs in the traditional system with fixed metal bowls which are then refilled with coffee every time a cup is required.
It is also an object of the invention to solve the problem of the mixing of flavours, since the market offers espresso coffee with different flavours so that, with the traditional system of fixed bowl, the flavours can become mixed due to the waiter merely emptying the grounds of the coffee that has just been dispensed into a container and, with the remains of previous coffees being left, and the consequent possibility of mixing flavours, a pure and optimum cup is therefore not obtained as can be obtained with the bowl containing pressed ground coffee for single-use for the cavity of an espresso coffee maker.
The problem is also solved of normal espresso coffee with caffeine being mixed in the bowl with decaffeinated espresso coffee from the coffee maker, given that when a machine decaffeinated coffee is asked for, the operator prepares it manually in the same bowl as the one he used for making a coffee with caffeine. This possible mixing of coffee and decaffeinated is also solved by this invention.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Metallic bowls that fit into the cavity of an espresso coffee maker are lo familiar to everyone. These bowls are only cleaned at the end of each day and in some cases this cleaning is put off, with the consequent problem of mixing of flavours and therefore the deterioration and lack of hygiene in the quality of the espresso coffee dispensed by that coffee maker.
Although this system permits an espresso coffee to be made, it presents problems that are to be found in the following aspects:
When the operator or waiter withdraws the cavity from the coffee maker with the grounds or remains of the previous cup he empties it by striking the cavity against a metal bar provided in the container for collecting the grounds that is to be found in coffee bars. This presents the problem that the fixed bowl, 2o being in contact with the heat of the coffee maker unit, causes the grounds to become hard and these remains are left stuck to the fixed metal cavity and will only be eliminated if the waiter washes the bowl after each use, a hygienic action that is not carried out. This is solved by the single-use food-grade plastic or aluminium bowl, with integral pressed ground coffee for placing in the cavity of an espresso coffee maker which will be renewed from one cup of coffee to the next, overcoming the said drawbacks of hygiene, mixing of flavours and of caffeine, achieving an optimum cup of coffee with the best quality and with the security that no remains of cofPee previously infused are being dispensed.
3o DESCRIPTION OF THE iNVENTION
The invention consists of creating a food-grade plastic or aluminium bowl system with integral pressed ground coffee inside in such a way that the operator only has to place it in the cavity of an espresso coffee maker and, once the coffee has been dispensed, withdraw it and place another entirely new one, given that it is single-use only, with the aim of avoiding the mixture of flavours and remains of other coffees, as occurs with the traditional system.
The bowl will be made of food-grade plastic or aluminium for single-use and disposal and will consist in its lower base of a porous structure with a porous paper filter inside filled with pressed ground cofPee with the quantity already predetermined for a single or double dose of coffee. The upper part will be provided with a porous plastic lid or a porous paper filter in such a way that the water under pressure from the espresso coffee maker will enter via this upper part of the bowl, percolate through the coffee inside and then exit through the porous filter of the lower part, with the liquid coffee finally falling directly into io the cup.
