- the additive holder may then previously be filled with the additive to a predetermined value.
- the feed of the beverage to the additive holder ensures that the level of the beverage and the additive, as far as dissolved in the beverage, exceeds the predetermined value, which has the result that the additive holder will start emptying via the siphon.
- the siphon is provided with a part of the liquid flow path surrounded by channel walls, with an inflow opening located in the additive holder above a bottom of the additive holder and an outflow opening located outside the additive holder. Due to the siphon, the additive holder can empty to the liquid level, which has fallen to the inflow opening.

- FIG. 1 shows a possible embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention
- Fig. 2a shows a pad holder of the apparatus according to Fig. 1;
- Fig. 2b shows an additive holder of the apparatus according to Fig. 1;
- Fig. 2c shows a buffer reservoir of the apparatus according to Fig. 1.
- FIG. 1 an apparatus for preparing a beverage fit for consumption with a fine -bubble froth layer is indicated by reference numeral 1.
- This example deals with an apparatus for preparing coffee with a fine-bubble froth layer, in particular cappuccino.
- the apparatus is provided with a beverage unit 2, which, in use, dispenses under pressure a beverage to be further processed by the apparatus to a beverage processing path 4, which is schematically indicated in the drawing by a dotted line.
- the beverage unit 2 is provided with a hot water unit 6, which is in fluid communication via a line 8 with a cover 10 for feeding hot water to a pad holder 12 of the apparatus.
- the pad holder can, in use, be filled with, for instance, a coffee pad 14.
- Arranged in a bottom 16 of the pad holder are a number of outflow openings 18, which, for instance, lie on a circle around the middle of the pad holder, which is circular in this example.
- the hot water is fed from the hot water unit 6 by means of the conduit 8 to a feed opening 20 of the hollow cover.
- the hollow cover is provided on its lower side with a plate 22, which is provided with a number of outflow openings 24.
- the hot water flows under pressure from the hot water unit via the conduit 8 to an inner space 26 of the cover to subsequently leave the cover by means of the outflow openings.
- the hot water is thus fed to an upper side of the holder 12.
- the hot water is then pressed through the pad, after which coffee extract is formed. Under pressure generated by the beverage unit 6, this coffee extract is pressed out of the pad holder via the outflow openings 16.
- the cover is connected to the pad holder 12 in a fluid -tight manner.
- a beverage to be further processed by the apparatus is thus dispensed under pressure through the outflow opening 24 of the beverage unit 2.
- the apparatus 1 is further provided with an additive holder 30 included in the beverage processing path 4, which additive holder, in use, can be filled with a product dissolved in the beverage, such as concentrated milk or milk powder.
- the beverage processing path includes a nozzle 32 and a buffer reservoir 34. The nozzle is positioned relative to the buffer reservoir such that, in use, it generates a liquid jet, which squirts into the buffer reservoir.
- the apparatus is further provided with an outlet path 36, via which the beverage is further transported from the additive holder 30 to the nozzle 32 to generate the jet of the beverage.
- the outlet path 36 is provided with a siphon for feeding the beverage from the additive holder to the nozzle when the level of the beverage in the additive holder exceeds a predetermined value.
- the siphon is provided with a liquid flow path surrounded by channel walls, with an inflow opening 40 located in the additive holder above a bottom 42 of the additive holder and an outflow opening 44 located outside the additive holder. In this example, the outflow opening is located lower than the inflow opening.
- the siphon is further provided with a highest point 46, which is higher than the inflow opening 40.
- the highest point 46 of the siphon is understood herein to mean the minimum height over which a liquid molecule must at least rise to be able to flow through the siphon.
- the bottom 42 is of concave design and forms a funnel bottom.
- the inflow opening 40 is located near a lowest point of the bottom. It further holds that the nozzle 32, in this example, forms the outflow opening 44 of the siphon.
- the liquid flow path in the siphon is formed by an inner channel 48, which extends through the bottom 42 of the additive holder 30.
- the inner channel 48 is provided with a first open end 50, which is at a higher level than the inflow opening 44. Furthermore, in this example, the open end 50 is located within the additive holder 30.
- the inner channel is further provided with a second open end 52, which is located outside the additive holder 30 and preferably below the bottom 42. The second open end 52 corresponds with the above- mentioned outflow opening 36 and, in this example, also with the nozzle 32.
- the siphon is further provided with an outer channel 54, which surrounds the inner channel 48.
- the outer channel 54 extends to above the first open end 50 of the inner channel 48 and, above the first open end, is of closed design. Below the first open end 50, the outer channel is provided with an opening 56, which forms the inflow opening 40 of the liquid flow path through the siphon. In this example, the inflow opening 56 is formed by an open end of the outer channel 54. This open end is not closed completely by the bottom 42 of the additive holder.
- the outer channel 54 is detachably connected with the additive holder 30. It can therefore be removed, as shown in Figs. 2a and 2b. In fact, it further holds that the outer channel is detachably connected with the inner channel. In this example, the outer channel is firmly connected with the pad holder. In this example, the inner channel is firmly connected with the additive holder 30.
- the buffer reservoir 34 is provided with a bottom 58, which is of slightly convex design.
- An outlet path of the buffer reservoir comprises at least one outflow opening 60, which is arranged in the bottom 58. Furthermore, it comprises an overflow 64 arranged in a side wall 62 of the buffer reservoir. The outflow opening 60 and the overflow 64 each discharge into a beverage dispensing channel 66.
- the buffer reservoir can be designed as described in the international patent application PCT/NL01/00655.
- the pad holder 12 is positioned on the additive holder 30, it holds that the inner space of the additive holder is sealed in a liquid-tight manner. This involves that the beverage processing path from the beverage unit up to and including the nozzle is of closed design for feeding the beverage under pressure to the nozzle.
- the hitherto described apparatus operates as follows. To prepare cappuccino, the cover 10 is taken from the pad holder, as shown in Fig. 2a. A coffee pad can then be positioned in the pad holder. Also, the pad holder is lifted from the additive holder. In this example, the additive holder is filled with concentrated milk 68 (see Fig. 2b). This concentrated milk remains present in the additive holder as long as the liquid level is lower than the highest point 46 of the siphon. Subsequently, the additive holder 30 is positioned on the buffer reservoir 34. Also, the pad holder with the coffee pad 12 therein is placed on the additive holder 30. After this, the pad holder is closed by the cover 10. The cover 10 then clamps on the pad holder in downward direction. This also results in a liquid seal between the pad holder and the additive holder 30. The inner space of the additive holder 30 is thus also sealed in an airtight manner. Also, the inner space of the pad holder is closed by the cover.
- the beverage unit 6 When the beverage unit 6 is then started with feeding hot water under pressure to the feed opening 20 of the cover 10, this hot water will leave the cover 10 via the outflow opening 24 and is thus fed to the upper side of the pad holder 12.
- the hot water is pressed through the pad, after which a beverage to be further processed is formed in the form of coffee extract.
- the beverage leaves the coffee holder via the outflow openings 18, which are arranged in the bottom of the pad holder 12.
- the pressure in the additive holder can thus rise when the liquid level is located above the inflow opening, so that a bit of milk possibly flows away via the siphon.
- the beverage with possible gases released during the preparation of the coffee extract thus arrives in the additive holder 30. In the additive holder 30, the beverage and the additive will start mixing.
- the liquid level in the additive holder rises, this will also happen in the siphon. Because the pressure in the additive holder rises when the inflow opening 40 is located below the liquid surface in the additive holder, the level of the liquid in the siphon will possibly become higher than in the additive holder. When in the siphon the liquid level rises to above the highest point 46 in the siphon, the liquid will start flowing out of the additive holder 30 via the siphon and the outflow opening 44, which is equal to the nozzle in this example. By means of the nozzle, a jet of the beverage is generated in connection with the pressure generated by the water unit 6. This beverage now comprises the coffee extract and milk dissolved therein. This beverage squirts into the buffer reservoir 34, which will then start filling with the beverage.
- the level of the liquid in the holder will start rising so that the inflow opening gets below the liquid surface, if this should not yet be the case at all in connection with the concentrated milk already present.
- the pressure in the additive holder will start rising so that the liquid is pressed from the holder via the siphon to the nozzle and the jet of the beverage (possibly initially a bit of milk concentrate and then the mixture of milk and coffee extract) is generated. Because the jet of the beverage impacts on the beverage already collected in the buffer reservoir, air is beaten into the beverage, and a beverage with a fine-bubble froth layer, in this case cappuccino, is thus formed.
- the outflow opening 60 is relatively small, the level of the beverage in the buffer reservoir will start rising. In other words, the liquid flow rate from the nozzle is greater than the liquid flow rate through the outflow opening 60 so that net more liquid is fed to the buffer reservoir than is discharged via the outflow opening 60.
- the buffer reservoir will then start emptying by means of the overflow 64.
- the cappuccino flows through the beverage dispensing channel 66 and can then be collected in a holder, such as, for instance, a cup.
- the beverage unit 6 stops feeding hot water to the pad. As a result, the pressure in the beverage processing path 4 will fall out. Via the siphon, some liquid will still flow out of the additive holder.
- the discharge of beverage from the additive holder via the siphon stops because the pressure in the additive holder will fall so that, eventually, a reduced pressure is generated and no liquid will flow through the siphon anymore.
- the buffer reservoir 34 empties via the outflow opening 60. After some time, all beverage will thus have flown away from the additive holder and the buffer reservoir and leave the apparatus via the beverage dispensing channel 66. After this, the beverage is ready for consumption.
- the additive holder is not filled with an additive, such as a milk powder or concentrated milk.
- an additive such as a milk powder or concentrated milk.
- Hot water is thus pressed through the pad, after which coffee extract is formed, which is collected in the additive holder.
- the level of the liquid will start rising in the holder so that the inflow opening gets below the liquid surface.
- the pressure in the additive holder will then start rising so that the liquid is pressed from the holder via the siphon to the nozzle. Via the nozzle, a jet of the beverage is thus generated, which is filled into the buffer reservoir 34.
- the invention is by no means limited to the above-described embodiments.
- the buffer reservoir 25 may be provided with two outflow openings 60, two overflows 64 and two beverage dispensing channels 66 for preparing two cups with the beverage fit for consumption, as described in PCT/NLO 1/00655.
- another type of beverage unit 2 may be used for preparing beverages of another type, instead of coffee.
- tea, chocolate milk, lemonade etc may be considered.
- Such variants are each considered to fall within the scope of the invention.
