  • Patent number: 9101241
    Abstract: The device for extemporaneously preparing a hot beverage anywhere and anytime from a soluble powder comprises a container which is divided into an upper hollow space and a lower hollow space by a baffle. The lower hollow space contains a quantity of drinkable liquid and the upper hollow space a quantity of soluble powder able to produce said beverage. An elongated hollow element is provided, which is open at its two ends and which connects the lower and the upper hollow spaces, sealing membranes are provided for sealing the connection between the upper and the lower hollow spaces through the elongated element. The sealing membranes can be made ineffective by intervention of the user or once a predetermined pressure inside the liquid has been reached.

  • Patent number: 7569240
    Abstract: The beverage can presents immediately below the lid a first chamber not initially containing beverages ready for use, but intended to receive the final beverage, the first chamber being separated by a sealed baffle from a second chamber which already contains, a drinkable liquid; the sealed baffle presenting a housing constructed to receive a filtering device provided with a tube intended to dip into the interior of the second chamber. Elements are provided to enable the consumer to dispose the filtering device in the utilization condition in which communication is established between the two chambers via the filtering device such that, when the can is subjected to the action of a heat source, the liquid contained in the lower chamber is transferred into the first chamber (38) by passing through the substance, to give rise to the formation of the beverage.

  • Patent number: 6912949
    Abstract: The coffee maker comprises a chamber acting as a boiler to receive a determined quantity of water; a chamber for the final collection of the beverage produced; and, for containing the ground coffee, a filter device connecting together the two chambers and comprising a tube which dips into the water contained in the boiler. A baffle is provided to sealedly close the boiler, with the exception of a through hole for sealedly receiving the filter device. The filter device comprises an enclosure closed or closable to form a filter capsule intended to contain the ground coffee and closed or closable independently of whether the coffee maker is assembled. The walls of the capsule are liquid-permeable in a region which communicates with the tube and in at least one other region which communicates with the collection chamber.
