Patent number: 11679929Abstract: Capsule containing a substance for the preparation of a potable beverage. The capsule comprises an aluminum capsule body having a side wall and an outwardly extending flange and a sealing member for providing a fluid sealing contact with an enclosing member of a beverage preparation device. The beverage preparation device comprises an annular element having a free contact end which is provided with a plurality of radially extending open grooves. The sealing member comprises a separate crushable element made of aluminum provided on the capsule body at a side thereof, which side is—when seen from the outwardly extending flange—opposite the cover.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2018Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Koninklijke Douwe Egberts B.V.Inventors: Rebecca Bartel, David Stewart Mackie Christensen, Jeffrey Alexander Hughes, Ivo Van Os, Edwin Petrus Elisabeth Van Opstal
