Abstract: A system for distribution of beverages, in particular a system for preparing espresso coffee and similar aromatic beverages, comprising at least one type of beverage recipient (1, 1?), for example of the type glass, cup or similar, a beverage discharge disposition (2) operatively associated with a beverage preparation device (3), whereby said beverage discharge disposition (2) is provided so that the beverage discharge flow impinges, with a given flow pressure, a flow regulation disposition (12) in the base region (11) of beverage recipient (1, 1?) along a direction opposite to the gravity force. The beverage recipient (1, 1?) presents a flux constrain element (13) downstream of said flow regulation disposition (12) and adapted so that provides more advantageous conditions of beverage discharge, in particular of espresso coffee and other aromatic beverages, to the interior of said beverage recipient (1, 1?).

Abstract: A capsule (1) having at least one first construction element (2) with a container-like shape, and a second construction element (3) with a lid-like shape, adapted to contain an individual portion of an edible substance. The second construction element (3) has a passageway wall (4) surrounded in at least most part of respective perimeter by a weakened material region (41), and further has an intercalary (6) adapted to provide seat for a sealing element (14) of a brewing device (10), and thereby a better sealing of the upstream pressurized flow inside of the brewing device (10). The capsule is in a system for preparing edible products including an apparatus for preparing edible products comprising at least one brewing device (10) comprising one sealing element (14) adapted to seal the pressurized flow upstream of said capsule (1) within a region in the vicinity of the injection means (13) of said brewing device (10).

Abstract: The present invention discloses an apparatus (1) for preparing beverages, in particular aromatic beverages such as espresso coffee and similar, from the brewing of a single portion (2) of a respective edible substance, whereby said apparatus (1) comprises a portion collection disposition (3) adapted for collecting said single portion (2) of edible substance and a beverage discharge (5), and is advantageously configured so as to simplify the actuation of respective portion collection disposition (3), and to be operated in portable manner, for example in the form of a compact apparatus, recipient, or transported, for example in the form of backpack, or trolley, along a given distance autonomously relative to external energy sources. The present invention further discloses a process for distribution of beverages by means of a beverage preparation apparatus.

Abstract: A capsule (1) having at least one first construction element (2) configured in a container-like shape, and a second construction element (3) configured in a lid-like shape, adapted so as to contain an individual portion of an edible substance. The second construction element (3) presents a passageway wall (4) provided as a recess region and surrounded in at least most part of respective perimeter by a weakened material region (41) provided as a reduction of thickness in the upstream side and downstream side of said passageway wall (4). The capsule is used with an apparatus for preparing edible products comprising at least one brewing device (10) presenting injection means (13) adapted so that exert a mechanic pressure upon the passageway wall (4) on a region of the passageway wall (4) opposite to the region of weakened material region (41).

Abstract: The present invention discloses a beverage distribution disposition (1), in particular of aromatic beverages such as espresso coffee and similar, from brewing a respective edible substance, whereby said disposition (1) comprises a portion collection disposition (5), adapted for collecting an individual portion of edible substance, and a beverage discharge (4), and is advantageously configured so that can be handheld and manually actuated while transported. The present invention further discloses a beverage distribution system, in particular a system provided with energy autonomy so that can be transported and operated simultaneously, presenting fluid supply means (11) provided in fluid connection upstream of said beverage distribution disposition (1). The present invention further discloses a process of distribution of beverages by means of said beverage distribution system.
