A method and system for preparing a beverage or liquid from a food substance contained in a filtering receptacle by passing water through the substance using brewing centrifugal forces. The method includes feeding water into the receptacle, and driving the receptacle in centrifugal rotation to force water to flow through the substance in a centrifugal flow path to the outlet of the receptacle. The system includes equipment necessary to carry out the method. The receptacle is a sealed capsule which is opened for water to be introduced into the capsule, contains a predetermined dose of food substance and is discarded after use.

Method for preparing a beverage or liquid food and system using brewing centrifugal force

A single-use capsule for preparing a food liquid from a food substance contained therein. The capsule has an upper wall, a lower wall, and a side wall connecting the upper and lower walls, wherein the walls form an enclosure that contains the food substance. The capsule also has a sealed interface connecting the upper and lower walls and a liquid collecting cavity located between the side wall and sealed interface. The sealed interface is configured to open under a predetermined fluid pressure in the capsule to allow the food liquid to leave the capsule. Also, a method for preparing a food liquid from the capsule by passing water through the food substance using centrifugal forces for producing the food liquid.

Capsule and method for preparing a food liquid by centrifugation

A capsule system for preparing beverages by centrifugation of a capsule in a centrifuging brewing device comprising: a set of different capsules (A,B;C,D;E,F,G;H,I;J,K,L); each one for selectively delivering a beverage having specific characteristics that differ from the other capsules of the set; each capsule of the set comprising a body () with a sidewall and a free rim (), an upper wall () and an extractable or infusible ingredient; and an insertion diameter (D) of the body of the capsule for insertion in a rotary capsule holder () of the centrifuge brewing device () in a referential position, wherein the different capsules in the set having bodies () of different storage volumes obtained by a variable depth (d, d, d) of the body in the set but the same insertion diameter (D) for all capsules of the set.

Capsule system for the preparation of beverages by centrifugation

A capsule for preparing a beverage or liquid food from a substance, in a centrifugal brewing unit, by passing water through the substance contained in the capsule by using brewing centrifugal forces. The capsule includes an enclosure containing a predetermined dose of substance, an opening member which opens the capsule under the centrifugal effect to allow the brewed liquid to leave the capsule. The capsule may also include externally driving the capsule in a centrifugal brewing device wherein the capsule includes a structure configured to offer resistance to torque during rotation of the capsule for maintaining the capsule in a reference rotational position.

Capsule for preparing a beverage or liquid food and system using brewing centrifugal force

Capsule insert able in a beverage production device for preparing a beverage from a substance contained in the capsule by introducing liquid in the capsule and passing liquid through the substance using centrifugal forces for producing the beverage which is centrifuged peripherally in the capsule relatively to a central axis of the capsule corresponding to an axis of rotation during the centrifuging operation comprising: an enclosure containing a predetermined amount of beverage substance, a cup-like shaped body, an upper wall for closing the body, wherein it comprises a flange-like rim extending outwardly from the body which comprises an annular raising portion forming a restriction for the centrifuged liquid How path when said portion is engaged by a pressing surface of the beverage production device.

Capsule for preparing a beverage by centrifugation in a beverage preparation device and device adapted therefore

A capsule, device, system and method for preparing a liquid food or beverage. The capsule comprises an enclosure containing one or more extractable or infusible ingredients and configured and dimensioned to have a perimeter and be radially symmetrical about a central axis to facilitate rotation; and an opening arrangement that allows liquid food to leave the capsule after passing through the ingredient(s), wherein the opening arrangement is configured and positioned near or upon the perimeter of the enclosure to allow the liquid food to leave the capsule radially due to the application of the centrifugal forces. The method and device introduce liquid into the capsule to form the liquid food while applying centrifugal forces to the capsule to urge the liquid to pass through the ingredient(s).

Capsule for preparing a beverage or food liquid and system using brewing centrifugal force

A method for preparing a beverage or liquid from a food substance contained in a filtering receptacle by passing water through the substance using brewing centrifugal forces. The method includes feeding water into the receptacle, and driving the receptacle in centrifugal rotation to force water to flow through the substance in a centrifugal flow path to the outlet of the receptacle. The receptacle is a sealed capsule which is opened for water to be introduced into the capsule, contains a predetermined dose of food substance and is discarded after use.

A method for preparing a food liquid from a food substance contained in a single-use capsule by passing water through the substance. The method includes centrifugally rotating the capsule while introducing water therein to pass the water through the substance to form the food liquid, opening at least one liquid delivery outlet in the capsule which is peripherally offset relative to the center of the capsule, and delivering the food liquid from the at least one liquid delivery outlet to dispense the beverage.

Method for preparing a food liquid contained in a capsule by centrifugation and device adapted for such method

The invention relates to a capsule for delivering a drink by injecting a pressurized fluid comprising a body (), an injection wall (), a chamber () containing a bed of food substance to be extracted, means for retaining the internal pressure () in the said chamber. The improvement consists in the provision of an injection space () allowing a means of injecting fluid in the form of at least one jet of fluid to be introduced through the injection wall and in providing a means () for breaking the jet of fluid and distributing the distribution of fluid at a reduced speed across the surface of the bed of substance. These means may adopt various forms such as that of a rigid or flexible perforated wall, or a layer of discrete elements or a spongy layer. Such a capsule improves the flow of liquid extract through the pressure retaining means () and improves the extraction conditions.

Capsule for preparing and delivering a drink by injecting a pressurized fluid into the capsule

Method for preparing a food liquid from a food substance contained in a receptacle by passing water through the substance using centrifugal forces comprising:

Capsule system, device and method for preparing a food liquid contained in a receptacle by centrifugation

A system for preparing a liquid food from a food substance comprising a device and a capsule removably insertable in the device, by passing water through the substance in the capsule. The device includes a water injection head for injecting water in the capsule and a capsule holder for holding the capsule in the device, a mechanism for centrifugally driving the capsule, and a perforating member configured relative to the capsule in the device to open outlets at the periphery of the capsule. The capsule includes a pierceable membrane, and the perforating member is suited to be engaged through the membrane for forming with the perforated membrane a filter for retaining solid particles in the capsule and orifices in the membrane for enabling the centrifuged liquid to leave the capsule.

Liquid food preparation system for preparing a liquid food by centrifugation

A single-use capsule for preparing a food liquid from a food substance contained in the capsule by introducing water in the capsule and passing water through the substance using the centrifugal forces for producing the food liquid which is centrifuged peripherally in the capsule relatively to a central axis of the capsule corresponding to an axis of rotation during the centrifugation. The capsule has upper and bottom walls, a widening side wall connecting to the upper and lower walls and an enclosure containing a predetermined amount of a food substance. The upper wall has a peripheral outlet region which is perforable and dedicated for providing outlets for the release of the liquid.
