Definitions
- the present invention relates to a capsule for preparing a beverage, in particular a hot beverage, which has suitable ingredients and dissolves in particular in hot water, and a method for their production, their use in a beverage preparation machine and a system comprising a beverage preparation machine and a Capsule according to the independent patent claims.
- a stimulant such as coffee in capsule form
- the materials usually used as the casing material such as plastics or aluminum (cf. e.g. EP-2 106 375 A2), have the disadvantage that they are not compostable.
- Such capsules must be disposed of or collected separately and recycled.
- the present invention relates to a capsule for preparing a beverage in a beverage preparation machine, in particular a hot beverage, consisting of a compact and optionally a casing.
- the compact consists of a material selected from the group consisting of instant coffee, instant tea, soluble coffee substitute extract such as spelled coffee, barley coffee or lupine coffee, cocoa, drinking chocolate, milk powder, vegan milk substitute powder, dry soup, protein powder , fillers , dietary supplements , and combinations thereof .
- the capsule is water soluble. Accordingly, the capsule contains no ground roast coffee and no tea leaves.
- a capsule that dissolves in water represents an optimal solution for the consumer. It is created during the preparation There is no waste in the production of the drink, which has to be disposed of or collected separately and recycled.
- a "press” is understood to mean a material that has been compressed under pressure.
- the provision of the material of the capsule as a press is advantageous in order to simplify handling for the user.
- dosing and entering into a beverage preparation machine the material preferably has a certain strength This can be achieved by compressing the material, for example, with a compression pressure in the range of 1-100 MPa, preferably 5-50 MPa.
- a capsule is considered dissolved in water if at least 90% of the capsule has dissolved or present in this dispersed.
- the material of the capsule dissolves in a brewing chamber in a brewing process lasting up to 3 minutes and a drink or drink to be created. water pressure adjusted to the compact.
- the capsule can be intended for the preparation of a hot or cold drink.
- the material of the capsule dissolves from 60 °C. Temperatures of up to a maximum of 30° C. are provided for cold drinks, at which the capsule should dissolve in water.
- a shorter scalding process with a lower water pressure can be set for easily soluble pellets and a longer scalding process with a higher water pressure can be required for pellets that are difficult to dissolve.
- a water pressure can be easily implemented with a back pressure valve on the outlet side of a brewing chamber of a beverage preparation machine.
- a back pressure valve allows that into the drink
- Air is entered.
- the air entrainment leads to a foam the surface of the drink.
- the introduction of air also improves the mouthfeel of the drink. It appears fuller and creamier to the user.
- the shell of the capsule should also be made of a water-soluble material.
- the compact can be coated with sodium alginate.
- w provided based on total system weight.
- a system is understood to mean not just an aqueous system (ie a system comprising exclusively water as the solvent).
- the system is a solvent mixture of water and a water-miscible solution, for example of low-chain (eg Ci-s), physiologically acceptable alcohol, such as ethanol.
- a coffee extract for example from a brewed coffee or from an instant coffee, to be used as the solvent to create the aqueous system instead of water.
- the compact can be encased with the casing material, for example, by immersing the compact in the system described above.
- the compact can be introduced into the system via a suitable suspension, where it remains for a desired time, for example for 1 to 60 s, preferably 2 to 30 s, particularly preferably 3 to 10 s.
- the pressed part which is surrounded (ie coated) on its surface with the covering material, is then removed from the system and dried.
- the shell can consist of several layers applied in this way.
- the capsule can have a volume in a ratio of between 1:1 to 1:5, preferably between 1:1.2 to 1:3, particularly preferably 1:1.4 to 1:1.6, to the volume of the brewing chamber.
- the compact can have a breaking strength of at least 10N, in particular more than 15N, preferably more than 20N, particularly preferably more than 25N, or even more than 30N. This breaking strength is relevant for the handling of the capsule. This should not break or disintegrate during transport or when used by the user, in particular when placed in a corresponding beverage preparation machine.
- the breaking strength of the compact is determined by subjecting the compact to a force test in a materials testing machine.
- the test specimens are subjected to constantly increasing force between two parallel pressure plates.
- the load is increased until the test specimen cracks or breaks, accompanied by a drop in force.
- the maximum force is output as compressive or breaking strength.
- This method is also described in WO 2008/123775 A1, p.3.
- the breaking strength of the compact is tested using a tension-compression testing machine with an Xforce P force transducer from Zwick/Roell.
- the required breaking strength can be achieved on the one hand by using an appropriately selected compression pressure during the production of the compact.
- the composition of the material of the compact is also important for its breaking strength.
- the following compositions in particular have proven to be suitable here:
- the material is selected from the group consisting of instant coffee, instant tea, soluble coffee substitute extract such as spelled coffee, barley coffee or lupine coffee, cocoa, drinking chocolate, milk powder, vegan milk substitute powder, dry soup, protein powder, fillers, dietary supplements and combinations thereof .
- instant coffee instant tea
- soluble coffee substitute extract such as spelled coffee, barley coffee or lupine coffee, cocoa, drinking chocolate, milk powder, vegan milk substitute powder, dry soup, protein powder, fillers, dietary supplements and combinations thereof .
- Such materials are known and do not need to be explained in more detail here. It is essential that these materials dissolve in water.
- the capsule according to the invention can have various shapes. A large number of such forms are already known in the prior art for corresponding capsules in the relevant technical field.
- the capsule can have a shape selected from the group consisting of sphere, ellipsoid, cube, cuboid, cylinder, prism, cone, truncated cone, pyramid, truncated pyramid, torus, tetrahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron and coffee bean.
- the capsule is preferably spherical.
- the capsule preferably weighs between 4 g and 15 g, preferably between 5 g and 13 g, particularly preferably between 6 g and 11 g. It has been shown that with this amount of material, a portion of a beverage with a high-quality taste can be produced.
- the capsule can have a largest diameter between 10 mm and 50 mm, preferably between 15 mm and 40 mm, particularly preferably between 20 mm and 35 mm.
- This size of the capsule has proven to be user-friendly for the user. In addition, this is a size that can easily be delivered in multiple packs in retail stores.
- the compact can have more than 50% by weight of binder. It has been shown that instant coffee in particular requires a relatively high proportion of binder in order to be able to produce a stable compact.
- a binder is understood to mean a second material component which helps a first material component to be able to form a stable compact in accordance with the requirements.
- the milk powder can, for example, assume the function of the binding agent.
- the milk powder is the binder.
- An additional separate binder is no longer required.
- the milk powder can be selected from the group of skimmed milk powder, whole milk powder, coconut milk powder, oat milk powder, almond milk powder or a combination thereof. It goes without saying that other, in particular vegan, milk substitute powders can be used, such as soy milk powder, rice milk powder, spelled milk powder, millet milk powder, hemp milk powder, lupine milk powder, pea milk powder, quinoa milk powder, cashew milk powder or hazelnut milk powder.
- the pellet can consist of 60% by weight coconut milk powder and 40% by weight instant coffee.
- compositions and mixing ratios are also possible, as the following table shows as an example for a spherical compression with 30 MPa:
- the compact can be designed to be homogeneous throughout. Homogeneous is understood to mean that the compact is pressed evenly over its cross section and has the same density over the cross section. In addition, the materials of the compact are uniformly mixed throughout.
- the capsule according to the invention can be produced by producing a compact of the desired material or the desired material composition.
- the present invention also relates to a method for producing a capsule, in particular as described above, comprising the steps a) providing a material selected from the group consisting of instant coffee, instant tea, soluble coffee substitute extract such as spelled coffee, barley coffee or lupine coffee, cocoa, drinking chocolate, milk powder, vegan milk substitute powder, dry soup, protein powder, fillers, dietary supplements and combinations thereof, b) compacting the material to form a compact, the material of the capsule being water-soluble, in particular in hot water. Compression of the material into the form of a compact is known and has already been described above.
- the capsule according to the invention can be used to prepare a drink, in particular a hot drink, selected from the group consisting of coffee, tea, coffee substitute, cocoa, drinking chocolate, milk or soup, or combinations thereof.
- a drink in particular a hot drink, selected from the group consisting of coffee, tea, coffee substitute, cocoa, drinking chocolate, milk or soup, or combinations thereof.
- the capsule dissolves, as explained above.
- the beverage is prepared by dissolving the capsule with a particularly hot liquid selected from the group consisting of water and milk.
- a particularly hot liquid selected from the group consisting of water and milk. The capsule dissolves in the process.
- the present invention also relates to the use of a capsule as previously described in a beverage preparation machine.
- the beverage preparation machine has a brewing chamber for receiving and enclosing the capsule. Under the action of, in particular, hot water or, in particular, hot milk, the capsule dissolves in the brewing chamber of the beverage preparation machine.
- the present invention also relates to a beverage preparation machine and a capsule as previously described.
- the beverage preparation machine has a brewing chamber for receiving , enclosing and in particular dissolving the capsule .
- the capsule can be dissolved in the brewing chamber under the influence of, in particular, hot water or, in particular, hot milk.
- pellets were produced, only the singular number being used below for the sake of simplicity.
- the breaking strength of half of the compacts was measured.
- the other half of the pellets were treated in the brewing chamber of a beverage preparation machine with water at a temperature of up to 93° C. for a preparation time of up to 3 minutes.
- the pellets have completely dissolved in the process.
- a spherical compact for the preparation of a vegan milk coffee was prepared by compacting 8 g of a mixture of 40% by weight instant coffee and 60% by weight coconut milk powder in a 30 MPa press.
- the compact had an average breaking strength of 17 N.
- a spherical compact for the preparation of a milk coffee was made by compacting 7 . 5 g of a mixture of 20% by weight of instant coffee and 80% by weight of skimmed milk powder in a 30 MPa press.
- the compact had an average breaking strength of 11 N.
- Example 3 A spherical pellet for the preparation of a cocoa milk was prepared by compressing 10.2 g of a mixture of sugar, sweet whey powder, low-fat cocoa powder, skimmed milk powder and salt in a 30 MPa press. The compact had an average breaking strength of 54 N.
- Example 4 A spherical compact for the preparation of a milk drink was produced by compacting 7.5 g of skimmed milk powder in a press at 30 MPa. The compact had an average breaking strength of 124 N. The beverage was prepared with water at a temperature of 25 °C. A cold drink was made. The compact has completely dissolved.
