  • This consists of a preferably deep-drawn housing part 3 and a cover part 4 which can be attached thereto as a closure after being filled with the substance 2 on a filling opening 5.
  • the housing part 3 and the cover part 4 are preferably made of a metallic material, in particular a NIRO material, e.g. AISI 304, AISI 316 etc., formed according to the international material designation and thus durable and suitable for common cleaning processes and use in the food industry and designed for use in state-of-the-art automatic coffee machines.
  • a metallic material in particular a NIRO material, e.g. AISI 304, AISI 316 etc., formed according to the international material designation and thus durable and suitable for common cleaning processes and use in the food industry and designed for use in state-of-the-art automatic coffee machines.
  • the housing part is essentially formed by a rotationally symmetrical, truncated cone-shaped, thin-walled housing jacket 6 with integrally formed bottom parts 7.
  • the filling opening 5 comprising the housing shell 6 is formed as a cylindrical shell portion 8.
  • the bottom part 7 has an annular edge region 10 delimiting a height 9 of the coffee capsule and a circular center region 11, which is formed in the direction of a housing interior 12 opposite to the edge region 10.
  • the bottom part extends with the edge region 10 in a first plane 13 corresponding to the height 9 and the center region 11 in a second plane 14, whereby a free space 15 is provided for piercing tools, not shown, as often in coffee machines for punching disposable Coffee capsules are provided for creating inlet openings for an extraction liquid.
  • the bottom part 7 preferably has both in the annular edge region 10 as well as distributed in the center region 11 openings 16, for example holes 17, as inflow 18 for - according to arrows 19 - shown extraction fluid 20.
  • This is for preparing a drink, in particular a coffee beverage with a temperature of about 90 ° C and at a pressure of about 3 to 6 bar via the bottom part 7 and the inflow 18 to the housing interior 12 and thus the substance 2 is supplied.
  • the cover part 4 is a disk-shaped drawn part, consisting of the material also described above with an outer diameter 22, for example, is greater than an outer diameter 23 of the cylindrical shell portion 8.
  • a peripheral edge 24 of the cover part 4 is formed groove-shaped, whereby the lid part. 4 a concentric with a central axis 25 of the coffee capsule 1 extending, annular projection 26 is formed, which is intended to overlap an end face 27 of the housing part 3 in the shell portion 8 in the housing interior 12 protruding and thus the cover part 4, inserted on the housing part to fix.
  • a dimensional tolerance between an inner diameter 28 of the cylindrical shell section 8 and an outer diameter 29 of the cylindrical extension 26 is designed for a retaining seat in order to be able to manually remove the cover part 4 after use.
  • an outlet opening 31 formed by a bore 30 is provided in the cover part.
  • This outlet opening 31 is defined by a membrane 32 of an elastomeric material, e.g. Rubber, rubber, solid silicone, etc., preferably liquid silicone (LSR), covered.
  • LSR liquid silicone
  • Number and shape of the perforations 35 ensure, in conjunction with the predetermined elastic properties of the material, in particular the Shore hardness, but also the thickness of the membrane 32 a pressure build-up in the housing interior 12 before feeding the extraction fluid 20 through the inlet openings 18 of the bottom part 7 before there is a release of the extract - arrows 21 - after a corresponding, pressure-related expansion of the perforations 35 of the membrane 32 comes. This process is decisive for the quality of the prepared drink.
  • the perforations 35 in the membrane 32 may be, for example, holes, slots, cross slots, which are extended when pressurized with the extract to achieve the permeability and after completion of the pressurization, due to the elastic see deformability of the material of the membrane 32, their original output , which ensures a retention effect, take again.
