The present invention relates to a dried coffee powder obtainable by a process comprising membrane filtration of a low temperature extract of roasted and ground coffee beans to reduce the concentration of low molecular weight components and drying the filtered coffee extract.

Soluble instant coffee and process for preparation

The present invention relates to a capsule holder () or an adapting device () for adapting a capsule () into a capsule holder (), the capsule () being designed for delivering a food product by injection of a fluid under pressure into the capsule, said capsule comprising a chamber () defined by capsule side walls (), a flexible bottom wall () comprising at least one dispensing opening () and a top wall (), said chamber containing at least one ingredient to be dissolved and/or extracted by said injection fluid, wherein said capsule holder () or adapting device () comprises a pressure retaining element () disposed in the vicinity of the bottom wall (), which comprises at least one protrusion () in correspondence to said at least one dispensing opening () so that said protrusion () is disposed into the corresponding opening () and restricts its diameter at the time injection fluid inside the capsule chamber moves said membrane towards said pressure retaining means.

Capsule holder or an adapter for adapting a capsule in a capsule holder in a beverage preparation machine

An adapting device for adapting a capsule into the capsule holder of a food machine when the capsule or pod is smaller than capsules or pods originally designed for insertion into the capsule holder is provided. The machine includes a fluid injection element for circulating a fluid through the capsule to a discharge opening, the capsule including a body enclosing a food ingredient to be dissolved and/or extracted so as to produce a food product, and further including circumferential edges. The device includes a holding portion for holding at least a portion of the capsule, and a sealer for circumferentially adapting to the capsule holder and/or to the fluid injection element, and/or to the capsule outside surface, in a leak-tight manner so that the fluid flow is directed solely from the fluid injection element through the capsule, to a discharge opening.

Device for adapting a food capsule into a capsule holder

The present invention is directed to a capsule () for use with a capsule holder () of a food preparation machine, wherein: &#x2014;said machine comprises a needle () supported by a plate, for injection of a jet of fluid inside the capsule, said needle being adapted in shape and size to protrude inside the capsule when said capsule holder is inserted into the machine in order for operation, and said capsule comprises a body with side (), bottom () and top walls (), said capsule further comprising a top circumferential edge (), the interface between the needle plate, the capsule holder, and the capsule edge being leaktight, said top wall being sealed onto said circumferential edges and comprises built-in showering means () comprising at least one opening, so as to accommodate the needle without piercing and transform the jet of fluid from said needle into at least one jet directed towards the inside of the capsule chamber.

Capsule for preparation of a food product from a food preparation machine

The present invention relates to a capsule for delivering a food product by injection of a fluid under pressure into the capsule, said capsule having a chamber defined by capsule side walls, a flexible bottom wall and a top wall, said chamber containing at least one ingredient to be dissolved and/or extracted by said injection fluid, and a beverage dispensing structure having at least one dispensing opening disposed through the bottom wall, wherein said beverage dispensing structure includes a pressure retaining element adapted to retain a certain predetermined dissolution and/or extraction pressure in the chamber, disposed in the vicinity of the bottom wall, which includes a protrusion in correspondence to the dispensing opening so that said protrusion is disposed into the corresponding opening and restricts its diameter at the time injection fluid inside the capsule chamber moves said membrane towards said pressure retaining means.
