A portion capsule for producing a beverage is proposed, having a capsule body with a capsule base and a filling side, with a cavity for accommodating a pulverulent or liquid beverage base being formed between the capsule base and the filling side, with a filter element being arranged between the beverage base and the capsule base, and with the filter element having a non-woven which is arranged in the region of the capsule base.

Portion capsule for production of a beverage

A method for producing a beverage using a portion capsule is proposed. The portion capsule includes a capsule body with a capsule base and a cover, a cavity for accommodating a pulverulent or beverage base being formed between the capsule base and the cover, and a filter element being arranged between the beverage base and the capsule base. The filter element includes a non-woven having a felt structure such that no crema is formed on the beverage. The method includes providing the portion capsule in a first method step, perforating the capsule base by means of an external perforation means in a second method step, and at least partially spacing the filter element apart from the capsule base in a third method step.

A device for producing milk froth for cappuccino, comprising: a nozzle arrangement disposed downstream of a steam supply line, and containing mixing vacuum chamber into which a steam-nozzle opening opens, and in which an air-milk-mixture supply line, leading from a pre-mixing chamber, terminates, and with the pre-mixing chamber being connected to an air conduit and a milk supply line. The nozzle arrangement further includes a calming portion disposed at an exit of the vacuum-chamber, with one end of the calming portion forming at least one discharge opening for releasing a steam-air-milk mixture from the mixing vacuum-chamber to the outside. The calming portion comprises a plurality of calming conduits that have a parallel flow direction, and that each form a respective discharge opening at one open end for discharging a steam-air-milk-mixture partial flow to the outside.

A steam tube assembly for an espresso making machine includes a steam tube having a longitudinal axis and an outlet end; and a nozzle head attached to the steam tube at the outlet end. The nozzle head has a plurality of nozzle bores distributed in a circular array. Each nozzle bore has an inlet in communication with the outlet end of the steam tube and an outlet through which steam flowing in the steam tube is discharged. The nozzle bores diverge from one another as viewed from the inlet toward the outlet thereof and form an acute angle with the longitudinal axis of the steam tube.

A steam outlet tube assembly for preparing beverages includes a steam tube having a terminal length portion including an outlet end. The outlet end of the first conduit is located at the terminal length portion of the steam tube. There is further provided a second conduit having an outlet end communicating with the steam tube at the terminal length portion thereof; and a mechanism for selectively placing the second conduit into an unblocked position and into a blocked position. In the unblocked position the steam passing through the steam tube draws liquid through the first conduit and draws air through the second conduit to effect a discharge of a steam/liquid/air mixture through the outlet end of the steam tube. In the blocked position the steam passing through the steam tube draws liquid through the first conduit, to effect a discharge of solely a steam/liquid mixture through the outlet end of the steam tube.

A permanent filter for coffee grind in an espresso maker includes a pot-shaped filter element having a bottom including several relief slots. The relief slots each have a width smaller than a mean diameter of particles of the coffee grind and a length which is a multiple of the mean diameter of the particles of coffee grind. The use of this permanent filter element accomplishes uniformly satisfactory espresso results independently of the type of coffee used, the fineness of grind and the dust content of the ground coffee.

Filter element for espresso makers

A device is disclosed for the preparation of milk froth for cappuccino (milk-coffee beverage) to be employed as an accessory to coffee or espresso makers or steam preparation machines equipped with a superheated steam generator and a steam pipe. A venturi is disposed at the outlet end of the steam pipe and has an associated air intake conduit and a milk intake conduit that are arranged in such a way that the outlet opening of the air intake conduit and the outlet opening of the milk intake conduit open in the venturi in the zone of greatest subatmospheric pressure. Due to the subatmospheric pressure created in the venturi by the flowing steam, air and milk are sucked in and mixed with the superheated steam in the diffusion path of the venturi. Thus the three-component mixture of steam, air and milk required for the generation of milk froth is created already in the venturi and the desired milk froth is available at the outlet of the venturi. The device according to the invention is distinguished in that, compared to prior art foaming aids, optimum frothing results are realized even in connection with low power steam generators.
