Kaffeeportionsbehälter des Wegwerftyps Disposable type coffee serving container
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kaffeeportionsbehälter des Wegwerftyps aus luft- und aromadichtem Material. The invention relates to a coffee serving container of the disposable type of air and aroma-dense material.
Bekannt ist ein Wegwerfbehälter für zwei oder mehr Lebensmittel, zum Beispiel portionierte Früchte und Vanillesauce, verschiedene portionierte Gemüsesorten oder verschiedene Getränke wie Gin und Tonic, der einen Behälterkörper mit wenigstens zwei vollständig getrennten Kammern um- fasst (GB-A-2 376 456). Jede Kammer ist durch eine integrale Deckwand verschließbar, die ohne Beeinflussung der Deckwand oder Deckwände der anderen Kammer(n) von dem Behälter ganz oder teilweise entfernt werden kann, wozu ein üblicher Dosenöffner oder ein oberflächenmontierter Zugring (ring-pull) dient. Der Behälter schließt mindestens eine Trennwand ein, die an wenigstens einer Innenseite oder Deckwand des Behälters dicht durch Kleben, Schweißen oder auf andere Weise angebracht sind, um diesen in die Kammern zu unterteilen. Dieser Wegwerfbehälter ist nicht speziell ein Kaffeeportionsbehälter. Er ist umständlich herzustellen und zu gebrauchen. Known is a disposable container for two or more foods, for example, portioned fruits and vanilla sauce, various portioned vegetables or various drinks such as gin and tonic, comprising a container body with at least two completely separate chambers (GB-A-2 376 456). Each chamber is closed by an integral top wall, which can be completely or partially removed from the container without affecting the top wall or top walls of the other chamber (s), for which a conventional can opener or a surface-mounted pull ring (ring-pull) is used. The container includes at least one partition wall which is tightly adhered to at least one inside or top wall of the container by gluing, welding or otherwise so as to divide it into the chambers. This disposable container is not specifically a coffee serving container. He is cumbersome to produce and use.
Kaffeeportionsbehälter in Form von Portionskapseln, die eine bestimmte Menge vorportionierten Kaffees und gegebenenfalls ein das Kaffeearoma erhaltendes Schutzgas luftdicht einschliessen, sind bekannt (WO 02/078498 A1). Sie bestehen meist aus einer tiefgezogenen Kunststoff- oder Aluminiumfolie und werden mit verschiedenen Kaffeefüllungen angeboten. Sie haben für den Konsumenten den Vorteil, auch kleinere Mengen unterschiedlicher Kaffeesorten bevorraten zu können. Diese Por- tionskapseln sind jedoch an die Kaffee- bzw. Espressomaschinen ange- passt, in denen sie Verwendung finden sollen, insbesondere deren Kapselhalter oder Klemmsystem. Zur Verwendung solcher Portionskapseln vorbereiteten Espressomaschinen weisen konstruktive Merkmale auf, die es gestatten, in die Portionskapseln Brühwasser einzuleiten und andererseits aus den dazu teilsweise perforierten Portionskapseln abzuführen. Zur Trennung des Brühwassers von dem aufgebrühten Kaffee bzw. zubereiteten Espresso sind die Portionskapseln in der Brühkammer abzudichten, was insbesondere in einem Randbereich der Portionskapseln erfolgen kann (EP 1 417 914 B1 [0020]). Solche Portionskapseln haben somit unter anderem den Nachteil der speziellen Verwendung in angepassten Espressomaschinen. Für eine unbeschränkte Verwendung unabhängig von solchen speziellen Espressomaschinen wären sie schwierig vollständig zu öffnen. Einer solchen unbeschränkten Verwendung kann auch entgegenstehen, dass das Kaffeemehl in der Portionskapsel vorgepresst ist. Coffee serving containers in the form of portion capsules which hermetically enclose a certain amount of pre-portioned coffee and optionally a protective gas which contains the coffee aroma are known (WO 02/078498 A1). They usually consist of a deep-drawn plastic or aluminum foil and are offered with various coffee fillings. They have the advantage for the consumer of being able to stock even smaller quantities of different types of coffee. This por- However, capsules are adapted to the coffee or espresso machines in which they are to be used, in particular their capsule holder or clamping system. Espresso machines prepared for the use of such portion capsules have constructive features which allow brewing water to be introduced into the portion capsules and, on the other hand, to be removed from the partially perforated portion capsules. To separate the brewing water from the brewed coffee or prepared espresso, the portion capsules are to be sealed in the brewing chamber, which can take place in particular in an edge area of the portion capsules (EP 1 417 914 B1 [0020]). Such portion capsules thus have, inter alia, the disadvantage of special use in adapted espresso machines. For unrestricted use regardless of such special espresso machines, they would be difficult to fully open. Such unrestricted use may also be precluded by the fact that the ground coffee is pre-pressed in the portion capsule.
Abgesehen von den voranstehend erwähnten Espressomaschinen, in die Portionskapseln weitgehend gerätetechnisch eingeführt und nach dem Brühvorgang entnommen werden, gehört eine andere Bauweise von Kaffee- bzw. Espressomaschinen zum Stand der Technik, die neben einer integrierten Kaffeemühle einen oder zwei Bohnenbehälter aufweisen. Aus einem der Bohnenbehälter werden jeweils Kaffeebohnen in die Kaffeemühle transportiert. Nach dem Mahlvorgang wird gemahlener Kaffee in lockerer Form in eine Brühkammer geleitet, in der die Espressobereitung erfolgt. Weiterhin können Espressomaschinen der letztgenannten Bauweise, die traditionell als Espresso-Vollautomaten bezeichnet werden, einen von aussen zugänglichen Einfüllschacht für gemahlenen Kaffee bzw. Kaffeemehl umfassen, in den bei Bedarf Kaffeemehl einer anderen Sorte als diejenige der in den Bohnenbehältern enthaltenen Bohnen von Hand eingefüllt werden kann. Von einer solchen alternativen Möglichkeit wird eher in Ausnahmefällen Gebrauch gemacht, in denen nicht die Kaffeebohnen aus dem Bohnenbehälter unmittelbar vor dem Brühvorgang gemahlen werden, was für die Aromaentfaltung am günstigsten ist. Die alternativ als Kaffeemehl bevorratete Kaffeesorte verliert hingegen in der Regel während einer längeren Lagerzeit einer geöffneten Packung gemahlenen Kaffees, die typisch 500 Gramm Kaffeemehl aufnimmt, erheblich an Aroma. Deswegen besteht auch kein großer Anreiz, mehrere verschiedene Sorten gemahlenen Kaffees vorzuhalten. Apart from the above-mentioned espresso machines, introduced into the portion capsules largely device technology and removed after the brewing process, another design of coffee or espresso machines belongs to the prior art, which have one or two bean containers in addition to an integrated coffee grinder. Coffee beans are transported into the coffee grinder from one of the bean containers. After the grinding process, ground coffee is passed in a loose form into a brewing chamber in which the espresso is prepared. Furthermore, espresso machines of the latter design, which are traditionally referred to as fully automatic espresso machines, include an externally accessible feed slot for ground coffee or ground coffee, in the need for ground coffee of another Variety as that of the beans contained in the bean containers can be filled by hand. Such an alternative option is more likely to be used in exceptional cases in which the coffee beans are not ground from the bean container immediately before the brewing process, which is most favorable for the aroma development. On the other hand, the alternative coffee stockpiled as coffee grounds usually loses considerable aroma during a longer storage period of an opened pack of ground coffee, which typically holds 500 grams of ground coffee. Therefore, there is no great incentive to hold several different types of ground coffee.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine geeignete Konfektionierung gemahlenen Kaffees insbesondere für Espresso-Vollautomaten der oben erwähnten Bauweise, die mit einem Kaffee- mehl-Einfüllschacht versehen sind, zur aromaschonenden Aufbewahrung des gemahlenen Kaffees vorzuschlagen, die sich durch vielfältige Verwendungsmöglichkeit, unkomplizierte Herstellung und einfache Handhabbarkeit auszeichnet. Darüber hinaus soll die Konfektionierung die Bereitung von Espresso kontrolliert unterschiedlicher Stärke in einfacher Weise ermöglichen. The present invention is therefore the object of proposing a suitable preparation of ground coffee, in particular for fully automatic espresso machines of the construction mentioned above, which are provided with a coffee flour filling shaft, for the aroma-preserving storage of ground coffee, which can be used in many ways, uncomplicated Production and ease of handling is characterized. In addition, the packaging should allow the preparation of espresso controlled different strength in a simple manner.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Kaffeeportionsbehälter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. This object is achieved by a coffee serving container with the features of claim 1.
Der Kaffeeportionsbehälter ist in eine erste Portionskammer und eine zweite Portionskammer unterteilt, die durch je eine luft- und aromadichte Abrissfolie verschlossen sind. Diese einfache Lösung für eine aromasichere Aufbewahrung und gleichzeitige Portionierung jeweils einer Sorte gemahlenen, nicht gepressten Kaffees kann nicht nur in Espresso- Vollautomaten mit mindestens einer integrierten Kaffeemühle, die einen oder zwei Bohnenbehälter aufweist und mit einem Kaffeemehl- Einfüllschacht versehen ist, eine einfache Kaffeesortenauswahl ermöglichend bzw. ergänzend, verwendet werden, sondern darüber hinaus für praktisch alle von Hand zu befüllenden Espresso- bzw. Kaffeemaschinen. The coffee-serving container is subdivided into a first portioning chamber and a second portioning chamber, which are each closed by an air-tight and aroma-tight tear-off foil. This simple solution for aroma-safe storage and simultaneous portioning of one type of ground, non-pressed coffee can not only be found in espresso Fully automatic machines with at least one integrated coffee grinder, which has one or two bean containers and is provided with a coffee grate hopper, a simple selection of coffee varieties or complementary, can be used, but also for virtually all manually filled espresso or coffee machines.
Indem zur Bereitung einer Espressoportion nur die erste Portionskammer des Kaffeeportionsbehälters durch einfaches Abreißen bzw. Ab-ziehen der Abrissfolie geöffnet wird und die in dieser Portionskammer enthaltene Kaffeeportion in den Füllschacht ausgeschüttet wird, oder danach zusätzlich die zweite Portionskammer in gleicher Weise geöffnet und ebenfalls in den Einfüllschacht entleert wird, der mit einer Brühkammer eines Espresso-Vollautomaten in Kaffeemehltransportverbindung steht, können einfach je nach Bedarf unterschiedliche starke Espressogetränke in reproduzierbarer Weise extrahiert werden. By only opening the first portion chamber of the coffee serving container by simply tearing off or pulling off the demolition film and the coffee portion contained in this portion chamber is poured into the hopper, or thereafter additionally open the second portion chamber in the same way and also in the Injection tube is emptied, which is in a brewing chamber of a fully automatic espresso machine in coffee powder transport connection, can be easily extracted as needed different strong espresso drinks in a reproducible manner.
Zur bequemen sicheren Handhabung beim Öffnen der Portionskammern weisen die Abrissfolien jeweils eine Anfasslasche auf.  For convenient safe handling when opening the portion chambers, the tear sheets each have a grip tab.
Der Kaffeeportionsbehälter ist mit einer verhältnismäßig kleinen Oberfläche zum Aromaschutz fertigungsgünstig ausgebildet, indem der Kaffeeportionsbehälter als Hohlzylinder geformt ist, der an zwei endseitigen Querschnittsflächen mit je einer der Abrissfolien verschlossen ist, wobei eine feste Trennwand in dem Hohlzylinder in einer weiteren Querschnittsfläche zwischen den endseitigen Querschnittsflächen angeordnet ist. The coffee-serving container is made with a relatively small surface for aroma protection production by the coffee serving container is shaped as a hollow cylinder, which is closed at two end cross-sectional areas with one of the Abrissfolien, wherein a fixed partition disposed in the hollow cylinder in a further cross-sectional area between the end-side cross-sectional areas is.
Der Hohlzylinder weist an beiden endseitigen Querschnittsflächen je einen umlaufenden flächigen Rand auf, der in Verbindung mit jeweils einer der Abrissfolien eine Haftfläche ist, von der jeweils eine der Abrissfolien einfach vollständig abgezogen werden kann. Herstellungsgünstig sind der Hohlzylinder und die Trennwand einstückig aus Kunststoff ausgeformt. The hollow cylinder has at both end-side cross-sectional surfaces per a circumferential flat edge, which is an adhesive surface in conjunction with one of the tear-off films, from which one of the tear-off films can simply be completely removed. Production of the hollow cylinder and the partition are integrally formed of plastic.
Bevorzugt sind nach Anspruch 2 die beiden Abrissfolien und die Trennwand parallel zu einander und senkrecht zu einer fiktiven Längsachse, die die Mittelachse des Hohlzylinders ist, angeordnet. Hierdurch ergeben sich Material sparend kleine Flächen der Abrissfolien und der Trennwand. Preferably, according to claim 2, the two tear sheets and the partition parallel to each other and perpendicular to a fictitious longitudinal axis, which is the central axis of the hollow cylinder arranged. This results in material-saving small areas of the tear sheets and the partition.
Nach Anspruch 3 können die Abrissfolien aromadicht und fertigungsgünstig aus Aluminiumfolie oder einer Kunststofffolie bestehen. According to claim 3, the tear-off films can aroma-tight and low-production consist of aluminum foil or a plastic film.
Gemäß Anspruch 4 sind die Volumen der ersten Portionskammer und der zweiten Portionskammer in einer ersten Variante des Kaffeeportionsbehälters unterschiedlich, und zwar nach Anspruch 5 im Verhältnis 1 zu 2. Damit und gemäß Anspruch 7 kann die erste Portionskammer eine zur Bereitung von Kaffee/Espresso normaler Stärke übliche Menge gemahlenen Kaffees einschliessen, die ca. 7 Gramm wiegen kann, und die zweite Portionskammer kann typisch ca. 3,5 Gramm Kaffee beinhalten. Bei dieser Aufteilung der Portionen gemahlenen Kaffees kann eine Tasse Kaffee bzw. Espresso üblicher Stärke nach Öffnung und Entleerung nur der ersten Kammer hergestellt werden oder aber eine Tasse starken Kaffees bzw. Espressos bei aufeinanderfolgender Leerung der ersten Kammer und der zweiten Kammer. Da die Kaffeemenge in der zweiten Kammer nur die Hälfte der Kaffeemenge in der ersten Kammer ist, könnte nach Bereitung von Kaffee bzw. Espresso üblicher Stärke der noch teilweise, nämlich in der zweiten Portionskammer gefüllte Kaffeeportionsbehälters einfach entsorgt werden. Ansonsten kann unter der Verwendung von zwei Kaffeeportionsbehältern, deren erste Portionskammer entleert ist, die aber noch gemahlenen Kaffee in ihrer zweiten Portionskammer beinhalten, eine Tasse Kaffee bzw. Espresso normaler Stärke zubereitet werden. According to claim 4, the volumes of the first portioning chamber and the second portioning chamber are different in a first variant of the coffee-serving container, according to claim 5 in a ratio of 1 to 2. Thus, and according to claim 7, the first portioning chamber for preparing coffee / espresso normal strength include the usual amount of ground coffee, which can weigh about 7 grams, and the second portion chamber may typically contain about 3.5 grams of coffee. In this division of the portions of ground coffee, a cup of coffee or espresso usual strength can be made after opening and emptying only the first chamber or a cup of strong coffee or espresso with successive emptying of the first chamber and the second chamber. Since the amount of coffee in the second chamber is only half the amount of coffee in the first chamber, after preparation of coffee or espresso usual strength of the partially still, namely in the second portion chamber filled coffee serving container could be easily disposed of. Otherwise, using two Coffee serving containers whose first portioning chamber is emptied but which still contain ground coffee in their second portioning chamber, prepare a cup of coffee or normal strength espresso.
In einer Variante des Kaffeeportionsbehälters nach Anspruch 6 sind jedoch die Volumen der beiden Portionskammern gleich, womit z.B. nacheinander zwei normal starke Portionen Kaffee/Espresso oder eine Portion besonders starker Kaffee/Espresso bereitet werden können. In a variant of the coffee portion container according to claim 6, however, the volumes of the two portion chambers are the same, whereby e.g. one after the other two normal strong portions of coffee / espresso or a portion of particularly strong coffee / espresso can be prepared.
Die Kaffeeportionsbehälter können aber auch nach Anspruch 8 derart gefüllt sein, dass nur die erste Portionskammer gemahlenen Kaffee enthält und dass die zweiter Portionskammer einen Aromastoff für die Bereitung des Kaffees bzw. Espressos beinhaltet. Der Aromastoff wie zum Beispiel Feigen-, Vanille-, oder Kardamon-Aromastoff kann in gleicher Weise wie das Kaffeemehl aus der Portionskapsel in den Einfüllschacht eingegeben werden. Solche Portionskapseln zur Herstellung aromatisierter Kaffeesorten eignen sich auch für den professionellen Einsatz in Kaffeehäusern, in denen ein rascher Zubereitungsablauf mit exakter Portionierung der zur individuellen Kaffeebereitung verwendeten Bestandteile gewünscht ist. Es ist hierfür auch denkbar, bei Verwendung geeigneten Materials des Kaffeeportionsbehälters und der Abrissfolien die zweite Portionskammer mit flüssigen Genuss- und Aromastoffen, wie Kirschwasser, Pflümli oder Whiskey zu füllen, um diese Stoffe nach dem Brühvorgang dem bereiteten Kaffee bzw. Espresso zuzugeben. The coffee serving containers can also be filled according to claim 8 such that only the first portion chamber contains ground coffee and that the second portion chamber contains a flavor for the preparation of the coffee or espresso. The flavoring such as fig, vanilla, or cardamom flavor can be entered from the portion capsule into the hopper in the same manner as the ground coffee. Such portion capsules for the preparation of flavored coffees are also suitable for professional use in coffee houses, in which a rapid preparation procedure with exact portioning of the ingredients used for individual coffee preparation is desired. It is also conceivable to fill the second portion chamber with liquid indulgence and flavoring substances, such as kirsch, Pflümli or whiskey when using suitable material of the coffee serving container and the tear-off to admit these substances after brewing the prepared coffee or espresso.
Zum sauberen Einfüllen des Inhalts der Portionskammern in einen Kaffeemehl-Einfüllschacht ist der Kaffeeportionsbehälter nach Anspruch 9 bevorzugt so ausgebildet, dass die Erstreckung des Kaffeeportionsbehälters bzw. des Hohlzylinders, als der der Kaffeeportionsbehälter ausge- formt ist, in Richtung der fiktiven Längsachse größer ist als der Durchmesser des Hohlzylinders. For a clean filling of the contents of the portion chambers in a ground coffee hopper, the coffee portion container according to claim 9 is preferably designed so that the extent of the coffee portion container or the hollow cylinder, as the coffee serving container ausge- is formed, in the direction of the fictitious longitudinal axis is greater than the diameter of the hollow cylinder.

Wie es sich aus der Zusammenschau der Figuren 1 und 2 ergibt, ist der Kaffeeportionsbehälter 1 als Hohlzylinder geformt, dessen äussere Zylinderwand 2 in Figur 2 unterbrochen dargestellt ist. Der Innenraum des Kaffeeportionsbehälters 1 ist in eine erste Portionskammer 3 und in eine zweite Portionskammer 4 durch eine Trennwand 5 unterteilt, die in einer Querschnittsfläche bzw. -ebene des Hohlzylinders innen in dem Kaffeeportionsbehälter 1 ausgeformt ist. An endseitigen Querschnittsflächen, die zu der Trennwand 5 parallel liegen, ist der Kaffeeportionsbehälter 1 oben und unten durch je eine Abrissfolie 6 bzw. 7 verschlossen, die somit die erste Portionskammer 3 bzw. die zweite Portionskammer 3 aromadicht verschließt. Hierzu ist jede der Abrissfolien 6 bzw. 7 zum Transport und zur Aufbewahrung des Portionsbehälters 1 genügend fest mit einem oberen flachen Rand 8 bzw. einem unteren flachen Rand 9 verbunden, jedoch zum Öffnen der Portionskammer 3 bzw. 4 einfach manuell vollständig von dem Rand 8 bzw. 9 abziehbar. In FIG. 1, a coffee serving container is generally designated 1. As can be seen from the synopsis of Figures 1 and 2, the coffee portion container 1 is formed as a hollow cylinder, the outer cylinder wall 2 is shown in Figure 2 interrupted. The interior of the coffee serving container 1 is subdivided into a first portion chamber 3 and into a second portion chamber 4 by a partition wall 5, which is formed inside in the coffee serving container 1 in a cross-sectional area or plane of the hollow cylinder. At end-side cross-sectional surfaces, which are parallel to the partition wall 5, the coffee serving container 1 is closed at the top and bottom by a respective tear-off film 6 and 7, which thus closes the first portion chamber 3 and the second portion chamber 3 aroma-tight. For this purpose, each of the tear sheets 6 and 7 for transport and Storage of the portion container 1 sufficiently firmly connected to an upper flat edge 8 and a lower flat edge 9, however, to open the portion chamber 3 or 4 simply manually completely removable from the edge 8 and 9 respectively.
Zum bequemen Greifen jeweils einer der Abrissfolien ist diese mit einer über den Rand 8 bzw. 9 des Kaffeeportionsbehälters hinausragenden Anfasslasche 10 bzw. 11 ausgeformt. Der Rand 8 bzw. 9 bildet zusammen mit der Abrissfolie 6 bzw.7 eine Haftfläche von der die Abrissfolie 6 bzw. 7 mittels der Anfasslasche 10 bzw. 11 bequem vollständig abgezogen werden kann, um jeweils die erste Portionskammer 3 und gegebenenfalls die zweite Portionskammer 4 zu öffnen und zu entleeren. For convenient gripping of one of the tear-off films, this is formed with a grip tab 10 or 11 protruding beyond the edge 8 or 9 of the coffee-serving container. The edge 8 or 9 together with the tear-off film 6 bzw.7 an adhesive surface of the demolition film 6 and 7 can be easily completely removed by means of the grip tab 10 and 11, respectively, the first portion chamber 3 and optionally the second portion chamber. 4 to open and empty.
Die beiden Abrissfolien 6, 7 werden bei der Herstellung des Kaffeeportionsbehälters, nachdem Kaffeemehl bzw. Aromastoff in eine bzw. beide Portionskammern 3, 4 eingefüllt ist, insbesondere durch Schweißen verschlossen. Der Kaffeeportionsbehälter besteht bevorzugt aus einem luft- und aromadichten Kunststoff. Die Abrissfolien sind zweckmäßig als Aluminiumfolie, die lackiert sein kann, gefertigt. The two tear-off foils 6, 7 are closed during the production of the coffee-serving container, after ground coffee or flavorant has been introduced into one or both portioning chambers 3, 4, in particular by welding. The coffee serving container is preferably made of an air and aroma-tight plastic. The tear-off foils are expediently made as aluminum foil, which can be painted.
In der ersten Ausführungsform des Kaffeeportionsbehälters nach Figur 1 verhalten sich die Volumina der Portionskammem 3, 4 zumindest annähernd wie 2 zu 1. In the first embodiment of the coffee serving container according to FIG. 1, the volumes of the portion chambers 3, 4 behave at least approximately as much as 2 to 1.
In der zweiten Ausführungsform nach Figur 3 sind hingegen die Volumina der Portionskammern 3', 4' praktisch identisch. In contrast, in the second embodiment according to FIG. 3, the volumes of the portion chambers 3 ', 4' are virtually identical.
Abgesehen von dem Volumenverhältnis sind die erste Ausführungsform und die zweite Ausführungsform gleich ausgebildet, weshalb die zweite Ausführungsform mit durch einen hochgestellten Strich modifizierten Bezugszeichen der ersten Ausführungsform versehen ist. Apart from the volume ratio of the first embodiment and the second embodiment are the same, which is why the second Embodiment provided with a superscript modified reference numeral of the first embodiment.
