- flow takes place through the portion capsule in an asymmetrical manner at least in sections and at least temporarily with respect to at least one plane of symmetry of the unopened portion capsule.
- the capsule is provided in a horizontal manner while flow takes place therethrough, i.e. its central axis extends horizontally.
- the plane of symmetry mentioned above or hereinbelow is preferably a plane of symmetry which extends at least substantially along the horizontal.
- a further or a preferred subject of the present invention is a method in which, while the liquid flows in, the cavity in the portion capsule is vented at least temporarily via at least one opening.
- This opening can be located in the membrane or in the base of the portion capsule.
- the venting takes place at least temporarily through both openings.
- the venting takes place via one or more opening(s) which are not used for the liquid inlet or liquid outlet.
- FIGS. 1-7 each show an embodiment of the portion capsule according to the invention or of the method according to the invention in two views in each case.
- FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the portion capsule 1 according to the invention.
- Said portion capsule has a basic element 2 which in the present case is frustoconical.
- This basic element has a cavity 13 which is filled at least partially with a raw beverage material which, for example, is extracted and/or dissolved.
- the raw beverage material is coffee powder which is extracted with hot water and is used to produce for example a coffee or an espresso.
- the portion capsule has a first plane 5 which extends in the axial direction of the portion capsule.
- this is a horizontal plane 5 which in the present case is also at the same time a plane of symmetry, in particular a plane of mirror symmetry, of the unopened capsule.
- the portion capsule has an opening 4 , which is in particular only introduced when the portion capsule 1 is located in the respective coffee machine.
- the opening 4 is provided at a distance from the plane of symmetry 5 .
- the opening 4 is two openings in the membrane, which are each also provided at a distance from a vertical plane of mirror symmetry 6 of the unopened capsule but in a mirror-symmetrical manner with respect to the plane of symmetry 6 .
- both openings 4 in the membrane are distributed in an asymmetrical manner in the membrane 3 with respect to a first plane of symmetry 5 , that extends in the axial direction, of the unopened capsule, i.e. both openings are located in the lower part of the portion capsule with respect to the horizontal plane of symmetry 5 , while the upper part remains unopened.
- the capsule in order to produce a beverage, the capsule also has to have in its base a further opening 9 , which in the present case is arranged centrally but can also be provided at a distance from one of the planes 5 or 6 . This opening is required in particular for the outlet of the produced beverage.
- the portion capsule is preferably processed as illustrated in a coffee machine, i.e. its central axis is provided horizontally while flow takes place through the portion capsule.
- FIG. 2 shows substantially the embodiment of the capsule according to FIG. 1 , wherein in the present case an insert member 7 is provided in the vicinity of the base.
- This insert member is preferably a screen or a nonwoven, which is intended in particular to prevent parts of the raw beverage material, for example coffee powder, from passing into the beverage to be consumed.
- the member 7 is a nonwoven which is particularly preferably sealed to the base of the portion capsule. This nonwoven can be pierced when the portion capsule is opened at the base.
- FIG. 3 shows substantially the embodiment according to FIG. 2 , wherein in this case the capsule has a further insert member, which is provided in the vicinity of the membrane 3 of the portion capsule.
- This member can be for example a liquid distributor or a raw beverage material retention member.
- FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of the present invention.
- a liquid supply means 10 by way of which liquid is supplied in the direction of the portion capsule.
- this liquid is hot water which, as illustrated by the arrow, is supplied at a distance from the plane of symmetry 5 of the portion capsule.
- the liquid is supplied centrally between the two openings 4 in the membrane 3 and then flows through the openings 4 into the capsule. There, the coffee powder is extracted and the prepared beverage leaves the portion capsule through the opening 9 .
- the illustrated arrows are intended to symbolize the possible flow pattern in the portion capsule.
- the present embodiment has the advantage that air which is located in front of and/or within the capsule is pushed out of the capsule uniformly and along a predictable path.
- the minimum residence time of the liquid in the capsule is longer than in the case of a capsule of which the membrane is opened centrally and/or symmetrically.
- FIG. 5 shows substantially the embodiment according to FIG. 4 , wherein the capsule in the present case again has an insert member 7 , in this case a screen or a nonwoven.
- FIG. 6 shows yet another embodiment which is based on the embodiment according to FIGS. 4 and 5 .
- the portion capsule has a further insert member 8 , for example a membrane or the like, which can serve as a distribution member, but which can also be destroyed by the supply of the liquid or by the pressure built up and as a result liquid can flow in the cavity, located behind the membrane 8 , in the portion capsule 1 .
- a further insert member 8 for example a membrane or the like, which can serve as a distribution member, but which can also be destroyed by the supply of the liquid or by the pressure built up and as a result liquid can flow in the cavity, located behind the membrane 8 , in the portion capsule 1 .
- FIG. 7 shows a further embodiment of the present invention, wherein reference can be made essentially to the embodiments in FIGS. 1-6 .
- four openings 4 , 14 are provided in the membrane 3 .
- Two of these openings 4 are provided for the liquid inlet and two openings 14 are provided as venting openings, out of which for example air or other gases which are located in the portion capsule can escape at least temporarily from the portion capsule when the portion capsule is pierced and/or when the liquid runs in.
- the openings 14 are in this case arranged above the openings 4 with respect to the gravitational field of the Earth. Venting is symbolized by the arrow 15 .
- the openings 14 are arranged on the plane of symmetry 5 and are provided in a symmetrical manner with respect to the plane of symmetry 6 .
- the openings 4 for the liquid inlet are in the present case arranged in a vertical plane one above another and in an asymmetrical manner with respect to the plane of symmetry 5 of the unopened portion capsule, wherein in the present case the liquid supply means 10 is arranged in the same vertical plane 6 as the two openings 4 but between the two openings 4 .
- the openings 14 can also act as liquid inlet openings. It can be seen from the left-hand illustration in FIG.
- the portion capsule 1 can alternatively or additionally have in its base a venting opening 16 , which is preferably introduced into the portion capsule by the coffee machine.
- This venting opening 16 is provided in addition to the outlet opening 9 and serves to dissipate gas which is located in the portion capsule prior to piercing. With respect to the gravitational field of the Earth, the opening 16 is located above the opening 9 .
- the opening 9 is preferably arranged above the openings 14 with respect to the gravitational field of the Earth.
