Definitions

  • the top (8) of the capsule is made of filter paper and is perfectly flat
  • the flat filter-paper surface (8) when the capsule is placed inside the holder and the holder introduced into the housing in the machine, comes into close contact with the filter, which is integral with the water heating block, through which the hot water is made to pass, under pressure, by means of a pump and is then forced through the top surface (8) of the capsule to make the drink.
  • the flat top surface (8) of the capsule fits perfectly against the flat surface of the filter integral with the water heating block, which determines the uniform distribution and penetration of the water through the top surface (8) of the capsule and into the capsule itself, where it mixes with the drink product contained therein; the resulting hot drink then filters through the holes on the bottom surface (7), and after having passed through the lower filter paper (3) is collected inside the filter holder and poured through the spout in the machine.
  • both the indentation and the protuberance may be of any shape and size, and serve the function of immediately and properly fitting the capsule into its holder.
  • the position of the indentation and protuberance may be inverted, so that the capsule (1) features a protuberance in any point of its surface (1), while the filter holder has the indentation; in this case also the indentation and the protuberance may be of any shape and size.
  • the solutions may be adopted independently of one another.
