Abstract
A dispensing capsule includes a cylindrical cap body surrounding a cylindrical ingredient chamber. The chamber is disposed inside and extends through the cap body and is sealed at the bottom by a lower sealing member. A flexible actuator is attached to the top of the cap body. A moveable plunger is disposed in the chamber and is attached underneath and extends downwardly from the flexible actuator. Upon application of pressure to the flexible actuator, the plunger displaces downward and at least partially breaks the lower sealing member.
