Abstract: A disposable package having a reservoir filled with an ingredient to be combined with a base liquid. The package has a moulded plastic body with a bottom and a circumferential wall. The package is sealed by a top sealing film. The body has a column at its lower end integral with the centre of the bottom. The top sealing film is such that a base liquid feed lance can passed through the film and engage with the upper end of the column to dispense base liquid into the channel of the column. The column has apertures. The bottom has a multitude of filter holes or discharge openings, and a flexible portion around the column. A bottom sealing film is provided which breaks upon relative motion of the column to the lower operative position, creating one or more outflow openings in the film for outflow of the product from the package.

Abstract: A package for a portion of liquid foodstuff dilutable with a diluent includes a reservoir for containing a portion of liquid foodstuff dilutable with a diluent, a reservoir seal for closing the reservoir, a mixing element for mixing the dilutable liquid foodstuff with the diluent. The mixing element includes a mixing chamber having an outflow aperture for dispensing liquid foodstuff diluted with the diluent, a liquid passage for feeding dilutable liquid foodstuff from the reservoir to the mixing chamber, and a feed channel for feeding diluent to the mixing chamber. The feed channel has a first portion and a second portion, the cross section of the second portion being smaller than the cross section of the first portion and be so configured that when diluent is fed to the mixing chamber, a venturi effect occurs in the mixing chamber.
