  • Patent number: 12245717
    Abstract: A beverage preparation machine includes a fluid system comprising a fluid source, a pump, a heating element, at least two container holders adapted for receiving ingredient containers, and a control unit for controlling the fluid system to prepare a beverage by mixing fluid with the beverage ingredient contained in the containers to produce a mixed beverage component in each of the containers. The control unit is further arranged to dispense part or whole of the mixed components sequentially or simultaneously to produce the beverage. The container holders differ from one another for holding containers of different sizes and/or types. Separate fluid injection interfaces have different structural and kinematic configurations and are arranged for independently delivering fluid in one of the corresponding ingredient containers. Each interface is connected to the fluid system and adapted to a different container.

  • Publication number: 20240246742
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a packaging (1) comprising: —a body (2) defining an interior volume (6) for carrying a flowable product, and—an opening element (4) comprising an opening part (4.0) which is arranged inside the interior volume (6). The body (2) is configured such that, when a predetermined external force (F) is exerted on an activation section (8) of the body (2), the activation section (8) is displaced relative to the interior volume (6) so as to activate the opening element (4) until the opening part (4.0) creates an opening extending in an openable section (12) of the body (2) and allowing the flowable product to flow out of the interior volume (6).

  • Publication number: 20240140690
    Abstract: An aspect is a spout including at least two parts relatively moveable with respect to each other such that at least one of the two parts of the spout is presenting a measurable resistance to being connected to an engaging part of a beverage preparation device and/or to the relative movement of the two parts of the spout. Another aspect is a pack for preparing a food or beverage product including such a spout and also including a container configured to contain a product to prepare the food or beverage product. Other aspects are a system for preparing a food or beverage product including such a pack and also including a beverage preparation device that will introduce a fluid in the form of a jet inside the volume of the pack; and a method of determining if a food or beverage pack has been previously used in such a system.

  • Publication number: 20240092560
    Abstract: A capsule for preparation of a beverage can include a container and a beverage ingredient contained therein. The container can include at least one support having a section on which a plurality of sequences of symbols is represented; each symbol is sequentially readable, by a reading arrangement of an external device, while the capsule is rotated along an axis of rotation. Each sequence can code a set of information related to the capsule, and at least one of the sequences can include symbols defining a preamble sequence that allows determination of a position of the symbols in the associated sequence coding the set of information related to the capsule. The container can include a cup-shaped body having a flange-like rim and a lid connected to the body, the support can be on a bottom of the rim, and the bottom of the rim can be opposed to the lid.
