Beverage production system using single-serve capsules
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11925286B2) describes a system for producing beverages from single-serve capsules. The system includes a capsule with a cup-shaped container closed by a lid, and a brewing assembly with pressurized water injection and beverage extraction components. These components move between open and closed configurations to create a brewing chamber for the capsule. The extraction assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder with a piston that compresses the capsule's outer annular flange against the cup's free edge in a fluid-tight manner. The design ensures engagement only at a specific annular area for effective sealing.
Furthermore, the system features a hydraulic circuit with a cold water supply, pump, boiler, and check valve to control water pressure. Another hydraulic circuit includes a pump with two branches, one leading to the pressurized water injection assembly and the other to a recirculation duct. The system's innovative design and hydraulic control mechanisms aim to optimize the brewing process and ensure efficient extraction from the single-serve capsules, enhancing the overall beverage production experience.
