Definitions

  • the invention relates to a portion capsule which is particularly suitable for brewing individual coffee portions (one cup or two cups of a coffee beverage) in a coffee machine intended for the use of portion capsules.
  • a portion capsule is described with a capsule lid and a capsule bottom, which is closed on all sides in the delivery state and contains a particulate, extractable by water coffee substance.
  • a distributor device is arranged between the capsule lid and the coffee substance and a collecting device is arranged between the coffee substance and the capsule bottom.
  • the distribution device and the collection device each have a number of openings and embossments for the formation of liquid channels on.
  • This portion capsule is used in a special coffee machine, wherein the capsule lid and the capsule bottom are perforated when inserting the portion capsule into the machine or during the brewing process.
  • hot water reaches the distribution device through an opening in the capsule lid and is distributed substantially uniformly therefrom, so that the coffee substance in the portion capsule can be extracted substantially uniformly.
  • the finished beverage is passed from the collector to an opening in the capsule bottom. In this case, it first flows through the openings of the collecting device, which have a screen or filter function, and can then flow through a cavity between the collecting device and the capsule bottom, which is formed between the embossments of the collecting device, to the opening in the capsule bottom. There, the beverage exits from the portion capsule and can be collected from a vessel (eg a cup).
  • a vessel eg a cup
  • the collecting device of the previously known portion capsule has, in addition to the functions mentioned as a guide, as a sieve or filter and as a spacer, the additional function of providing a crema formation (foam) in the coffee beverage, if desired. This is especially the case with cafe Crema and Espresso, while e.g. in Germany normal filter coffee just should not get a crema. In the case of the previously known portion capsule, however, the crema formation in connection with the other functions of the collecting device can not be controlled satisfactorily.
  • the portion capsule according to the invention has a capsule lid and a capsule bottom and is closed on all sides in the delivery state. It contains a particulate water-extractable beverage substance, preferably ground coffee. Between the beverage substance and the capsule bottom a sieve device is arranged, which fulfills a sieve or filter function.
  • the screening device is held in the central region of the capsule bottom by means of a ring-like structure at a distance from the capsule bottom.
  • a ring-like structure is defined in the space between the sieve device and capsule bottom, an outer region (which is outside the ring-like structure) and an inner region (which lies within the ring-like structure).
  • the term "ring-like structure" is not to be understood as limited to a ring appearing circular in plan view, but more generally; so the ring-like structure in plan view, e.g. square or irregular shaped and must not necessarily be closed in the circumferential direction.
  • the outer area and the inner area of the ring-like structure are connected via passage openings.
  • the height of the ring-like structure is less than 20% of the height of the portion capsule, e.g. less than 10%.
  • the ring-like structure of the portion capsule according to the invention is involved in the formation of a gap between the sieve device and the capsule bottom. This space takes during the brewing process by the sieve means penetrated extracted beverage, which created by a created in the central region of the capsule floor opening Can leave the portion capsule. It must flow through the through holes. Crema formation can be controlled via the design of the passage openings. This is completely independent of the design of the screening device. Therefore, in the portion capsule according to the invention, the devices for the screen or filter function and for the crema formation are decoupled, which increases the design options.
  • the beverage substance comprises ground coffee.
  • the passage openings can be relatively small and designed to form a crema. Because when coffee flows through small openings, especially at higher pressure (e.g., 7 bar to 13 bar or 9 bar to 18 bar, as is customary for Cafe Crema or espresso), turbulence causes entrapment of air, forming the crema.
  • the screening device has a support structure.
  • the ring-like structure is formed integrally with the support structure, for example as a molded part.
  • the support structure may comprise one or more spacers which bear against the capsule bottom outside the central region of the capsule bottom so that these spacers, together with the annular structure in the central region, provide the desired gap between the sieve device and the capsule bottom.
  • the gap does not necessarily extend over the entire surface of the capsule bottom.
  • the support structure may be provided with at least one recess which is covered with a textile fabric, such as a fabric or a nonwoven. More about such embodiments can be found in the German Patent Application 10 2005 016 297 , In this case, the textile fabric can be connected, for example, by gluing, welding, embossing or embedding with the support structure.
  • the screening device may also comprise a perforated screen, which is preferably formed integrally with the support structure, e.g. as a molded part. Since with today's injection molding techniques even such fine holes can be formed as e.g. are required for a coffee filter, such a one-piece construction can have price advantages. It is also conceivable, however, to occupy recesses in a support structure with conventional filter paper.
  • the support structure in its central region on a protuberance, which is directed away from the ring-like structure and adapted for receiving a mandrel on a coffee capsule adapted to the capper.
  • Portion capsules with such a protuberance are intended for coffee machines in which the portion capsule is perforated on the capsule bottom by means of a mandrel.
  • the mandrel should penetrate only the capsule bottom, but not damage the screening device, which is why the screening device springs back into the inside of the portion capsule, where the mandrel penetrates, ie in the region of the protuberance.
  • the support structure has a reinforcing edge on its periphery, e.g. an edge that protrudes from a disc-like structure.
  • a reinforcing edge on its periphery, e.g. an edge that protrudes from a disc-like structure.
  • the portion capsule according to the invention may have a distributor device which is arranged between the capsule lid and the beverage substance.
  • the distribution device may e.g. be formed as (flat) plate with openings or as a curved structure with openings, wherein the apertures, e.g. can be configured as radially extending slots and / or as holes.
  • the manifold has no channel-like embossments.
  • the distribution device causes water introduced on the capsule lid to extract the beverage substantially evenly distributed in the beverage substance.
  • the distribution device also has a protuberance in its central region, which is here directed away from the capsule lid and adapted to receive a mandrel on a coffee machine adapted to the portion capsule, via which the water is introduced into the portion capsule. Similar to the previously described protuberance of the screening device, the protuberance of the distributor device is not damaged when the mandrel penetrates into the portion capsule.
  • the capsule bottom may have a desired weak point in its central area.
  • Capsule bottom is generally understood to mean the side of the portion capsule from which the beverage emerges from the portion capsule, that is, regardless of whether the capsule bottom is located at the top or bottom of a portion capsule inserted into a coffee machine.
  • the weak point of weakness facilitates the piercing of the capsule bottom in the coffee machine.
  • the desired weak point has a piece of film which is weaker than the capsule bottom in the vicinity of the film piece.
  • the beverage substance may also comprise substances other than ground coffee, e.g. Tea, chocolate (again, the possibilities of the invention are useful for controlling crema formation), instant soup, milk powder, liquid milk (as an additive), etc., or mixtures of such substances, including ground coffee.
  • substances other than ground coffee e.g. Tea, chocolate (again, the possibilities of the invention are useful for controlling crema formation), instant soup, milk powder, liquid milk (as an additive), etc., or mixtures of such substances, including ground coffee.

  • a support structure 30 with a reinforcing edge 32 is provided in its central region with a downwardly facing protuberance 34.
  • recesses are covered with a textile fabric 36. The recesses are separated by radial ribs 37.
  • FIG. 5 a variant 8 'of the distributor device is shown, wherein corresponding parts are provided with the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 , Instead of the recesses covered with a textile fabric, however, narrow radial slots 38 are used here.
  • Other types or arrangements of openings in the distributor device are also conceivable, for example a number of, for example circular holes, which are arranged along concentric lines.
