Definitions

  • the present invention is based on a portion capsule for preparing a beverage in a beverage production machine, the portion capsule having a liquid-tight base element with a cavity for receiving a beverage raw material and a capsule lid closing the cavity.
  • portion capsules are known from the prior art.
  • the documents DE 10 2012 223 291 A1, DE 10 2013 215 274 A1, DE 10 2012 109 186 A1 and DE 10 2012 105 282 A1 disclose portion capsules for portion capsule machines each having a rigid or semi-rigid base element which has a cavity for receiving a raw beverage material , such as roasted coffee granules, instant coffee, chocolate powder, ground tea, milk powder or the like, the cavity being closed after the portion capsule has been filled with a capsule lid.
  • the base element is designed to be gas and liquid-tight.
  • the base element must withstand comparatively high mechanical forces during the production of the beverage, since the extraction liquid is introduced into the cavity under high pressure and at high temperature in order to produce the beverage under interaction with the raw beverage material.
  • base elements made of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and / or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and / or metal, in particular aluminum, are therefore used in the portion capsules known from the prior art, since such Base elements are inexpensive to manufacture, mechanically stable and gas and liquid tight.
  • PE polyethylene
  • PP polypropylene
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • metal in particular aluminum
  • the object is achieved with a portion capsule for preparing a beverage in a beverage production machine, the portion capsule having a base element with a flange and with a cavity for receiving a beverage raw material and a capsule cover closing the cavity, the capsule cover being fastened to the flange and a seal is provided on the surface opposite the capsule cover, which is provided in part plastically.
  • the object is further achieved with a portion capsule for preparing a drink in a beverage production machine, the portion capsule having a base element with a flange and with a cavity for receiving a raw beverage material and a capsule cover closing the cavity, the capsule cover being fastened to and on the flange the surface opposite the capsule cover is provided with a seal which is provided in a partially elastic manner.
  • the portion capsule which is used, for example, for beverage production.
  • coffee or espresso or tea is made with the portion capsule.
  • the portion capsule has a base element with a base and side walls that span a cavity into which the raw beverage material is filled. The cavity is then closed with a capsule lid. To make the drink, the portion capsule is flowed through with hot water, for example.
  • the material from which the seal and the base element are made preferably differ.
  • the base element is preferably made of a metallic material, in particular aluminum.

  • the seal is provided on the side of the flange opposite the capsule cover.
  • the seal is provided partially plastic and / or partially elastic. Once deformed, the seal does not remain in the deformed shape and / or does not return to its original shape. For example, the seal deforms partially plastic when the brewing chamber is closed. This achieves a good sealing effect and the sealing effect remains at least partially even if the closing pressure of the chamber parts decreases.
