Description

本発明は注入された飲料を調製するために使用できるカプセルに関する。   The present invention relates to capsules that can be used to prepare infused beverages.

特に、本発明はエスプレッソコーヒー機に使用される一回分のコーヒーカプセルに関し、エスプレッソコーヒー機ではパーコレート室内に設置されたカプセルへ付勢される熱いまたは沸騰した水の流れがホットミルクまたはコーヒー飲料、例えばマチァトエスプレッソコーヒーまたはカプチーノ等を生成し、本明細書は特にそれらについて説明するが本発明の範囲を限定するものでない。   In particular, the present invention relates to a single coffee capsule for use in an espresso coffee machine, where the hot or boiled water stream energized by the capsule installed in the percolate chamber is hot milk or coffee beverage, such as Machiato espresso coffee or cappuccino is produced, and the present specification specifically describes them, but does not limit the scope of the present invention.

今日、エスプレッソコーヒーを特に家庭で作る極めて一般的方法は一回分の投与量の「コーヒーポッド」を使用することであり、このポッド（ｐｏｄ）は使用が極めて簡単でありかつ市場で容易に入手できる。この意味で、代表例として、ポッドは、エスプレッソコーヒー機の一部を形成する適宜ホルダ内に設置される設計の実質的筒状の封止されたフィルタ紙容器またはバッグ内に封入された一回分を測定した量のコーヒーまたは他の注入物質である。   Today, a very common method of making espresso coffee, especially at home, is to use a single dose “coffee pod”, which is extremely simple to use and readily available on the market . In this sense, as a typical example, the pod is a single sealed package in a substantially cylindrical sealed filter paper container or bag designed to be installed in a suitable holder that forms part of an espresso coffee machine. The measured amount of coffee or other infused material.

欧州特許ＥＰ７７６１６６Ｂ１はフィルタ紙バッグまたはポッドを形成するための方法を記載し、この方法では注入物質、即ちコーヒーは圧縮、粉末ミルクまたはクリーム等の可溶性添加物と混合され、かつフィルタ紙の二層間に封入される。そのようにして形成されたポッドはエスプレッソコーヒー機で使用できホットコーヒーとミルクの入った飲料、特にカプチーノを作る。   European patent EP 766 166 B1 describes a method for forming filter paper bags or pods, in which the injecting substance, ie coffee, is mixed with a soluble additive such as compressed, powdered milk or cream, and between two layers of filter paper Enclosed. The pod so formed can be used in an espresso coffee machine to make a drink with hot coffee and milk, especially cappuccino.

上記特許に記載のフィルタ紙で形成したタイプのポッドの使用は幾つかの欠点を有する。   The use of a pod of the type formed with the filter paper described in the above patent has several drawbacks.

フィルタ紙ポッドを通過する熱い水は可溶性添加物、例えば混合物中に存在する粉末ミルクを溶解するが、注入物質、即ちコーヒーはコンパクトにされたまま残る傾向がある。結果として、この種のポッドで形成された飲料は、しばしば、不正確な比率のミルクとコーヒーを含む。換言すれば、全体がフィルタ紙で形成された上述のポッドを使用して形成された飲料は、過度に濃度の高いミルクを含み、味覚に不快を与える。   Hot water passing through the filter paper pod dissolves soluble additives, such as powdered milk present in the mixture, but the injected material, ie coffee, tends to remain compact. As a result, beverages formed with this type of pod often contain inaccurate ratios of milk and coffee. In other words, beverages formed using the pods described above, which are entirely formed of filter paper, contain excessively concentrated milk and are unpleasant to taste.

全体がフィルタ紙で形成されたポッドの他の欠点は、可溶性添加物により構成された混合物部分が、完全に溶解し、部分的にポッドを空にし、柔軟かつスポンジ状にし、かつ未使用ポッドを他の一杯のコーヒーを作るためにコーヒー機に設置するときにコーヒー機のホルダからの除去を困難にする。   Other disadvantages of pods made entirely of filter paper are that the mixture part made up of soluble additives dissolves completely, partially emptying the pod, making it soft and spongy, and unused pods It makes removal from the coffee machine holder difficult when installed in a coffee machine to make another cup of coffee.

欧州特許ＥＰ７７６１６６Ｂ１European patent EP 766166 B1

本発明は、上述の欠点を克服する、注入されたミルク入りコーヒー飲料を調製するために使用されるカプセルを提供することを課題とする。   The object of the present invention is to provide a capsule used to prepare an infused milk coffee beverage that overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks.

従って、本発明は注入された飲料を調製するために使用するカプセルを提供し、前記カプセルは、実質的可撓性材料により形成されかつ粉末注入物質を含む第一容器、および実質的剛性材料により形成されかつ粉末可溶性物質を含む第二容器を含むことを特徴とする。   Accordingly, the present invention provides a capsule for use in preparing an infused beverage, said capsule being formed of a substantially flexible material and containing a powder infusion material, and a substantially rigid material. Characterized in that it comprises a second container formed and containing a powder soluble material.

添付図面を参照すると、参照番号１はミルク入りホットコーヒー飲料、特にカプチーノを調製するエスプレッソコーヒー機に使用するための一回分の量を投与するカプセルを示す。   Referring to the accompanying drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a capsule for dispensing a single dose for use in an espresso coffee machine for preparing a hot coffee beverage with milk, in particular cappuccino.

エスプレッソコーヒー機は周知タイプの機械であるので図示されていないが、基本的にホット飲料を醸造するパーコレート室内のホルダ内にカプセル１を一旦設置するとカプセル１へ付勢される熱いまたは沸騰した水の流れを生成する装置を含む。   Although the espresso coffee machine is a well-known type machine, it is not shown in the figure, but basically hot or boiled water that is energized to the capsule 1 once the capsule 1 is placed in a holder in a percolate chamber for brewing a hot beverage. Including a device for generating a flow.

カプセル１は閉鎖容器またはカートリッジ２、好適には食品安全プラスチック材料により形成された円錐形である。   Capsule 1 is a closed container or cartridge 2, preferably a conical shape formed of a food safety plastic material.

図５および６に示されたように、カートリッジ２の底面３は中央孔４を有し、中央孔４は、好適には円形であり、コーヒー機の中空針Ａの形成部により開口または穿孔されるように設計された適宜材料によるシール５により被覆されている。他の実施形態において、シール５はカートリッジ２の底面３の一体部を形成する。換言すれば、シールは容易に穿孔され得る底面３の一部を構成する。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the bottom surface 3 of the cartridge 2 has a central hole 4, which is preferably circular and is opened or perforated by the formation of the hollow needle A of the coffee machine. It is covered with a seal 5 of an appropriate material designed to be In other embodiments, the seal 5 forms an integral part of the bottom surface 3 of the cartridge 2. In other words, the seal forms part of the bottom surface 3 that can be easily drilled.

カートリッジ２は粉末ミルクまたはクリーム等を含む所定量の粉末可溶性材料ＭＳを保持する。この材料ＭＳは、更に、所定量の粉末砂糖を含んでよい。   The cartridge 2 holds a predetermined amount of the powder soluble material MS including powdered milk or cream. This material MS may further contain a predetermined amount of powdered sugar.

図１および３から５に示されたように、カプセル１は、更に、注入材料ＭＩのタブレット、即ちコーヒー粉末を含みかつカートリッジ２の上部７に設置された、フィルタ紙または同様フィルタ材料で形成された容器またはポッドを含む。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 to 5, the capsule 1 is further formed of filter paper or similar filter material, which contains a tablet of pouring material MI, ie coffee powder and placed on the top 7 of the cartridge 2. Container or pod.

更に詳細には、図１から３および５に示されたように、ポッド６の環状外縁８は、カートリッジ２の上部７の外縁の周囲にわたるカートリッジ２の対応する環状突起９上に当接しかつそこへ固定されている。   More particularly, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5, the annular outer edge 8 of the pod 6 abuts on and corresponds to a corresponding annular protrusion 9 of the cartridge 2 that extends around the outer edge of the top 7 of the cartridge 2. It is fixed to.

ポッド６の縁８は、好適には接着、ヒートシールまたは同様方法によりカートリッジ２の環状突起９に固定される。   The edge 8 of the pod 6 is fixed to the annular protrusion 9 of the cartridge 2 preferably by gluing, heat sealing or similar methods.

更に好適な解決策において、固定は超音波シーリングの現在既知の加工法により達成される。   In a further preferred solution, fixation is achieved by currently known processing methods of ultrasonic sealing.

図２から４に示されたように、カプセル１は有利にはアルミニウムフォイル等のカバー材料によるシート１０により被覆かつ封止され、シート１０は、ポッド６の上部１１を被覆すると同様の方法により、例えば接着、ヒートシール、または超音波シーリングによりカプセル１のカートリッジ２の突起９の端へ付与され、それにより含有されるコーヒーの芳香を保持する。   As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the capsule 1 is advantageously coated and sealed with a sheet 10 of a cover material such as an aluminum foil, the sheet 10 being coated in the same way as covering the upper part 11 of the pod 6, For example, it is applied to the end of the protrusion 9 of the cartridge 2 of the capsule 1 by adhesion, heat sealing, or ultrasonic sealing, thereby retaining the aroma of the contained coffee.

カバー１０は、カプセル１をコーヒー機内の適宜ホルダに使用者が設置する直前に除去できるように設計される。そこで、使用者は、コーヒー機のスタートボタンを押すことによりカプチーノ調製を開始する。スタートボタンの押圧によって針Ａとカプセル１間の相対的運動が生じ、針Ａはシール５を穿孔し、かつカプセル１内の孔へ侵入する。   The cover 10 is designed so that the capsule 1 can be removed immediately before installation by a user in an appropriate holder in the coffee machine. The user then starts the cappuccino preparation by pressing the start button of the coffee machine. Pressing the start button causes relative movement between the needle A and the capsule 1, and the needle A punctures the seal 5 and enters a hole in the capsule 1.

コーヒー機により生成される熱い水の流れは、最初にポッド６を通り、注入したコーヒーＭＩの流れを創出し、カートリッジ２内の可溶性クリームＭＳへ落下して湿らせ、かつそこから針Ａの中空内部へ流れてカプチーノを調製し、下に置かれたグラスまたはカップ（図示せず）を充填する。   The hot water flow generated by the coffee machine first passes through the pod 6 to create a flow of injected coffee MI, falls and wets the soluble cream MS in the cartridge 2, and from there the hollow of the needle A Flow into the inside to prepare cappuccino and fill the underlying glass or cup (not shown).

このようにして、ミルクとコーヒーが最適比率の美味しいカプチーノを毎回調製することができる。   In this way, a delicious cappuccino with an optimal ratio of milk and coffee can be prepared each time.

一旦使用されると、特にカートリッジ２の閉鎖剛性構造により、カプセル１はコーヒー機から非常に容易に除去できる。更に、カプセル１が針Ａから外れると、シール５は孔４を再閉鎖する傾向があり、残余水または飲料が溢れでて使用者またはコーヒー機のまわりの領域を汚損するのを防止する。   Once used, the capsule 1 can be removed very easily from the coffee machine, especially due to the closed rigid structure of the cartridge 2. Furthermore, when the capsule 1 is disengaged from the needle A, the seal 5 tends to reclose the hole 4 and prevents residual water or beverages from overflowing and contaminating the area around the user or coffee machine.

更に、強調すると、ここに開示のカプセル１は、カートリッジ２の剛性構造、およびその上に取り付けられかつポッド６の上面上にのみ設置されたカバー１０により、オーバーラッピングすることなく安全に取り扱いできかつ販売される。これは、必要とされる包装材料が少なく済み、かつ生産販売コストが相当に倹約できるだけでなく、環境への衝撃が少ないことを意味する。   Furthermore, it is emphasized that the capsule 1 disclosed herein can be handled safely without overlapping by the rigid structure of the cartridge 2 and the cover 10 mounted thereon and installed only on the upper surface of the pod 6 and Sold. This means that less packaging material is required, and not only can the production and sales costs be considerably reduced, but also the impact on the environment is low.

理解されるように、上記カプセルは本発明のコンセプトの範囲から逸脱することなく幾つかの方法で改変かつ変更できる。更に、本発明の詳細は技術的に均等の要素により置換できる。   As will be appreciated, the capsule can be modified and changed in several ways without departing from the scope of the inventive concept. Furthermore, the details of the invention may be replaced by technically equivalent elements.
