Abstract: A beverage brewing apparatus for preparing a beverage from a single-serve capsule, the beverage brewing apparatus comprises a capsule holder to receive a capsule in a brewing position, and an injection unit to perforate a capsule in the brewing position and to feed a brewing fluid into the capsule; the injection unit comprises a pair of hollow needles designed to supply respective flow rates different from each other, and an actuator to bring, during a beverage production cycle, only one of the two needles to an operating position, in which the needle perforates the capsule and injects a certain amount of brewing fluid into the capsule.

Abstract: A capsule for preparing beverages in an automatic beverage preparation device, comprising an insert, which divides the capsule inner volume into an upper chamber intended to contain a beverage preparation substance, and a lower chamber for beverage collection and outflow. The insert comprises a relatively rigid disc, which is provided with a number of passages designed to establish a communication between the upper chamber and the lower chamber, and has, on the lower face of the disc facing the lower chamber, some beverage outflow channels communicating with the upper chamber through the passages. The insert further comprises a membrane permanently connected to the lower face of the disc except for one or more areas so as to define, together with the areas, respective membrane valves configured to open under the effect of the beverage pressure, so that the beverage flows out from the upper chamber to the lower chamber, and to close again when the effect of the beverage pressure ends.

Abstract: A capsule for producing a beverage in an automatic beverage production device is provided that includes a cup-shaped body defined by a lateral wall and a bottom wall with a beverage outflow opening closed by a sealing film, and a filter member provided with a perforation member and extending transversely so as to ideally divide the cup-shaped body into an upper part containing the substance to be brewed, and a lower part containing a chamber for collecting the beverage. The bottom wall comprises an annular portion extending transversely to the capsule axis to define a stable support base for the capsule when the latter is arranged in a corresponding percolation seat of the automatic beverage production device.

Abstract: A capsule to prepare a beverage in an automatic beverage preparation device, the capsule including a cup-shaped body defined by a lateral wall and a bottom wall having a beverage outflow opening, and closed by a cover perforable to allow a fluid to be injected in the capsule. The capsule further includes a filter assembly extending transversally to a longitudinal axis of the capsule to divide an internal volume of the capsule into an upper chamber intended to contain a beverage preparation substance, and a lower chamber intended to collect the beverage. The filter assembly includes a relatively rigid filter disk provided with through openings, and two membranes stacked on, and directly coupled to, a face of the filter disk facing the lower chamber.

Abstract: Capsule (1) for the preparation of a beverage having a cup-shaped body (2) adapted to contain a dose of substance to be brewed and bounded by a lateral wall (6), a bottom wall (8) and a tubular appendage (9), which extends from the bottom wall (8) towards the inside of the capsule (1), and is closed at an inner end thereof by a membrane (23) connected firmly to the same end and provided with a plurality of through slots (24) configured to widen when, following the feeding of a pressurised fluid into the capsule (1), the pressure inside the capsule (1) reaches a threshold pressure.
