Method for the preparation of a foamy or creamy instant drink, wherein at least two capsules are sequentially injected with cold water to produce an instant milk-based drink, the first capsule to be injected comprising milk powder, a creamer component and sugar, the second capsule comprising milk powder, a soluble main flavour component and sugar.

Method for preparation of a creamy milk based beverage from a capsule and kit for such preparation

The invention concerns a container () for storing and dispensing a flowable product comprising a tank () and a dispensing closure for dispensing the product from the tank comprising disc member () with apertures () therein, one of the disc () being rotatable and susceptible to cooperate with a rotatable shaft. The invention also concerns a machine susceptible to be fed with a flowable product stored in such a container, said machine comprising disc members () with apertures () therein, one of the disc () being rotatable and cooperating with a rotatable shaft ().

System of a container for storing and dispensing a product and a machine for dosing the product

Method for the preparation of a foamy or creamy instant drink, wherein at least two capsules are sequentially injected with cold water to produce an instant milk-based drink, the first capsule to be injected comprising milk powder, a creamer component and sugar, the second capsule comprising milk powder, a soluble main flavor component and sugar.

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

A method of preparing a single serving of a nutritional composition comprising introducing water into a disposable capsule () containing a unit dose of the composition in concentrated form so as to reconstitute the concentrated composition and operate opening means contained within the capsule to permit draining of the resulting liquid directly from the capsule () into a receiving vessel. The method allows individual servings of nutritional compositions such as infant formulas to be prepared with substantially reduced or even eliminated risk of cross contamination from previously prepared servings.

Method of preparing a nutritional composition

A method for producing a beverage or liquid comestible from a single capsule by subdividing the interior of the capsule into a plurality of compartments, at least two compartments containing beverage-forming ingredients, introducing a liquid into one of the compartments of the capsule and starting to produce and drain a first beverage component on the basis of the ingredient contained in the first compartment, and opening a fluid communication between the first and the second compartment such that after the start of the production of the first beverage compartment, a production of a beverage component on the basis of the ingredient contained in the second compartment commences. The capsule is preferably used to make cappuccino-style beverages.

Beverage ingredient containing capsule having several compartments

Apparatus and method of obtaining a frothy drink from a cartridge, the cartridge being made up of at least one chamber containing at least a preparation for a drink. Where the cartridge is injected with a predetermined volume of fluid, a first part of which essentially consists of air which is compressed in the cartridge to a pressure lower than the pressure at which the cartridge opens or the drink flows freely through the cartridge and a second part of which consists of water, or possibly of a mixture of air and water, which is injected after the first part into the cartridge so as to make it possible to obtain the drink by causing the internal pressure to increase until the cartridge opens or the drink flows freely through the cartridge thus allowing the drink to be discharged and froth to be formed.

Method of improving the production of foam during the preparation of drinks from a cartridge and device for its implementation

A beverage system for selectively delivering, in a same coffee extraction device, short coffee liquid extracts and long coffee liquid extracts comprising: cartridges containing ground coffee; a receiving device for receiving one cartridge at a time and pumping means or injecting water under pressure in the cartridge; means for opening the cartridge wherein these means comprises retaining means to retain the liquid under pressure in the cartridge and engaging means which engage the retaining means to open the cartridge and deliver the coffee liquid extract; wherein the system comprises at least a first cartridge adapted to deliver a short coffee liquid extract, wherein the system comprises at least a second cartridge which has substantially the same external configuration and shape as the first cartridge so as to be capable of being received in the same receiving device as the first cartridge and which is adapted to deliver a longer coffee liquid extract upon allowing a larger amount of water to flow there trough, wherein the second cartridge for the longer coffee liquid extract is configured so that water flows through it at a higher rate than in the first cartridge during extraction.

System for dispensing short and long coffee beverages

Device for preparation of a drink from a food substance contained in a capsule () comprising a fluid supply unit () comprising fluid supply means (); a capsule holder () configured to receive a capsule (). The capsule holder is removable from the fluid supply unit and can comprise a fluid injector () for inserting fluid into the capsule.
