Abstract: A method of dispensing a beverage from a beverage dispensing apparatus that includes a cartridge (13) and a beverage collecting unit (1) for dispensing a beverage from said cartridge to a beverage container. The beverage is dispensed from the cartridge to the container along at least two separate dispensers (5,7; 8,9) for dispensing a beverage from a cartridge.

Abstract: A capsule (1) for the preparation of beverages within dispensing machines, has a sealing film (4) which is perforated at the time of the use when the pressurized infusion water is supplied to the capsule and deforms the film (4), bringing it into contact with underlying perforation means (6) fixed to the same capsule.

Abstract: A device for preserving a product for beverage preparation comprises a first container (4,4?) having a first constant of oxygen permeability (K1PO2) wherein said product is sealed, that is housed in a second sealed package (5,5?) having a second constant of oxygen permeability (K2PO2), the first constant of oxygen permeability (K1PO2) being greater than the second constant of oxygen permeability (K2PO2), moreover, an oxygen absorbing material (6) is housed in second container (5,5?) together with the first container to remove oxygen from the first and second container (4,4?).

Abstract: A process of preparing a beverage from a beverage preparation chamber includes feeding water to the preparation chamber until a first pressure is reached, interrupting the flow of water to the preparation chamber, holding the preparation chamber in a closed condition for a first time interval, opening the outlet of the preparation chamber and delivering the thus prepared beverage.

Abstract: A single serve capsule (1) for the preparation of hot beverages such as coffee, cappuccino, tea or the like from soluble or ground preparations, having an outlet lid portion (1 b) located on a dispensing wall (F) in order to form a dispensing opening (11) after a liquid has been introduced into the capsule, as well as means for changing the area of said dispensing opening during the dispensing step of the beverage.

Abstract: A process of preparing a beverage from a beverage preparation chamber includes the steps of feeding water to the preparation chamber (2) until a first pressure (P1) of at least 3 bar is reached, interrupting the flow of water to the preparation chamber, holding said preparation chamber (2) in a closed condition for a first time interval (t1), opening said outlet (3) of the preparation chamber (2) and delivering the thus prepared beverage whereas the pressure is decreased at least once during said time interval (t1).

Abstract: A method and a group are described for the preparation of a beverage from soluble products contained in a disposable cartridge, based on the regulation of the dispensing of the beverage in such way that the soluble product is delivered in suspension for at least 75% of the total dispensing time.

Abstract: A process of preparing a beverage from a beverage preparation chamber comprises the steps of feeding water to the preparation chamber (2) until a first pressure (P1) of at least 3 bar is reached, interrupting the flow of water to the preparation chamber, holding said preparation chamber (2) in a closed condition for a first time interval (t1), opening said outlet (3) of the preparation chamber (2) and delivering the thus prepared beverage.

Abstract: A cartridge for beverage dispensing machine is provided with outlet means (9B, 14) that are opened by the combined action of a mechanical compression and internal pressurization of the cartridge.

Abstract: The description concerns a unit for the preparation of a drink from a soluble mix contained in a disposable capsule, of the type comprising a collecting device with housing designed to contain the capsule, in which at least one choking arrangement is provided to ensure laminar flow of the drink as it comes out of the capsule.
