Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coffee serving container of the disposable type of air and aroma-dense material.
  • a disposable container for two or more foods for example, portioned fruits and vanilla sauce, various portioned vegetables or various drinks such as gin and tonic, which comprises a container body with at least two completely separate chambers ( GB-A-2 376 456 ).
  • Each chamber is closable by an integral top wall which can be wholly or partially removed from the container without affecting the top wall or top walls of the other chamber (s), using a conventional can opener or surface-mounted shuttle (ring-pull).
  • the container includes at least one partition wall which is tightly adhered to at least one inside or top wall of the container by gluing, welding or otherwise so as to divide it into the chambers.
  • This disposable container is not specifically a coffee serving container. He is cumbersome to produce and used.
  • Coffee serving containers in the form of portion capsules which airtightly enclose a certain amount of pre-portioned coffee and optionally a coffee aroma-preserving protective gas, are known (US Pat. WO 02/078498 A1 ). They usually consist of a deep-drawn plastic or aluminum foil and are offered with various coffee fillings. They have the advantage for the consumer of being able to stock even smaller quantities of different types of coffee.
  • portion capsules are adapted to the coffee or espresso machines in which they are to be used, in particular their capsule holder or clamping system.
  • Espresso machines prepared for the use of such portion capsules have constructive features which allow brewing water to be introduced into the portion capsules and, on the other hand, to be removed from the partially perforated portion capsules.
  • portion capsules are to be sealed in the brewing chamber, which can take place in particular in an edge area of the portion capsules ( EP 1 417 914 B1 ).
  • portion capsules thus have, inter alia, the disadvantage of special use in adapted espresso machines. For unrestricted use regardless of such special espresso machines, they would be difficult to fully open. Such unrestricted use may also be precluded by the fact that the ground coffee is pre-pressed in the portion capsule.
  • espresso machines introduced into the portion capsules largely device technology and removed after the brewing process
  • another design of coffee or espresso machines belongs to the prior art, which have one or two bean containers in addition to an integrated coffee grinder. Coffee beans are transported into the coffee grinder from one of the bean containers. After the grinding process, ground coffee is passed in a loose form into a brewing chamber in which the espresso is prepared.
  • espresso machines of the latter design which are traditionally referred to as fully automatic espresso machines, include an externally accessible feed slot for ground coffee or ground coffee, in the need for ground coffee of another Variety as that of the beans contained in the bean containers can be filled by hand
  • an alternative option is more likely to be used in exceptional cases, in which not the coffee beans are ground from the bean container immediately before the brewing process which is most favorable for the aroma development.
  • the alternative coffee stockpiled as coffee grounds usually loses considerable aroma during a longer storage period of an opened pack of ground coffee, which typically holds 500 grams of ground coffee. Therefore, there is no great incentive to hold several different types of ground coffee.
  • a coffee serving container with several portion chambers US 2,791,324 ) according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention is therefore the object of proposing a suitable confectioning ground coffee especially for fully automatic espresso machines of the above-mentioned construction, which are provided with a ground coffee hopper for the aroma-preserving storage of ground coffee, characterized by a variety of uses, easy production and
  • the packaging should allow the preparation of espresso controlled different strength in a simple manner.
  • the coffee-serving container is subdivided into a first portioning chamber and a second portioning chamber, which are each closed by an air-tight and aroma-tight demolition film, wherein at least the first portioning chamber contains ground coffee.
  • the tear sheets each have a grip tab.
  • the coffee-serving container is made with a relatively small surface for aroma protection production by the coffee serving container is shaped as a hollow cylinder, which is closed at two end cross-sectional areas with one of the Abrissfolien, wherein a fixed partition disposed in the hollow cylinder in a further cross-sectional area between the end-side cross-sectional areas is.
  • the hollow cylinder has at both end-side cross-sectional surfaces per a circumferential flat edge, which is an adhesive surface in conjunction with one of the tear-off films, from which one of the tear-off films can simply be completely removed.
  • Production of the hollow cylinder and the partition are integrally formed of plastic.
  • the two tear sheets and the partition parallel to each other and perpendicular to a fictitious longitudinal axis, which is the central axis of the hollow cylinder arranged. This results in material-saving small areas of the tear sheets and the partition.
  • the tear-off films can aroma-tight and low-production consist of aluminum foil or a plastic film.
  • the volumes of the first portioning chamber and the second portioning chamber are different in a first variant of the coffee-serving container, according to claim 5 in a ratio of 2 to 1.
  • the first portioning chamber one for the preparation of coffee / espresso normal strength usual amount of ground coffee, which may weigh about 7 grams
  • the second portion chamber may typically contain about 3.5 grams of coffee.
  • a cup of coffee or espresso usual strength can be made after opening and emptying only the first chamber or a cup of strong coffee or espresso with successive emptying of the first chamber and the second chamber.
  • the amount of coffee in the second chamber is only half the amount of coffee in the first chamber, after preparation of coffee or espresso usual strength of the partially still, namely in the second portion chamber filled coffee serving container could be easily disposed of. Otherwise, using two Coffee serving containers whose first portioning chamber is emptied but which still contain ground coffee in their second portioning chamber, prepare a cup of coffee or normal strength espresso.
  • the volumes of the two portion chambers are the same, whereby e.g. one after the other two normal strong portions of coffee / espresso or a portion of particularly strong coffee / espresso can be prepared.
  • the coffee serving containers can also be filled according to claim 8 such that only the first portion chamber contains ground coffee and that the second portion chamber contains a flavor for the preparation of the coffee or espresso.
  • the flavoring such as fig, vanilla, or cardamom flavor can be entered from the portion capsule into the hopper in the same manner as the ground coffee.
  • Such portion capsules for the production of flavored coffees are also suitable for professional use in coffee houses, in which a rapid preparation procedure with exact portioning of the ingredients used for individual preparation Käffeet is desired. It is also conceivable to fill the second portion chamber with liquid indulgence and flavoring substances, such as kirsch, Pflümli or whiskey when using suitable material of the coffee serving container and the tear-off to admit these substances after brewing the prepared coffee or espresso.
  • the coffee portion container according to claim 9 is preferably designed so that the extension of the coffee serving container or the hollow cylinder, as formed of the coffee serving container is greater in the direction of the fictitious longitudinal axis than the diameter of the hollow cylinder.
  • FIG. 1 is a coffee serving container generally designated 1.
  • the coffee serving container 1 is formed as a hollow cylinder, the outer cylinder wall 2 in FIG. 2 is shown interrupted.
  • the interior of the coffee serving container 1 is subdivided into a first portion chamber 3 and into a second portion chamber 4 by a partition wall 5, which is formed inside in the coffee serving container 1 in a cross-sectional area or plane of the hollow cylinder.
  • the coffee serving container 1 is closed at the top and bottom by a respective tear-off film 6 and 7, which thus closes the first portion chamber 3 and the second portion chamber 3 aroma-tight.
  • each of the tear sheets 6 and 7 for transport and Storage of the portion container 1 sufficiently firmly connected to an upper flat edge 8 and a lower flat edge 9, but for opening the portion chamber 3 or 4 simply manually completely deductible from the edge 8 and 9 respectively.
  • this is formed with a grip tab 10 or 11 projecting beyond the edge 8 or 9 of the coffee-serving container.
  • the edge 8 or 9 together with the tear-off film 6 , .7 an adhesive surface of the demolition film 6 and 7 can be easily completely removed by means of the grip tab 10 and 11, respectively, the first portion chamber 3 and optionally the second portion chamber. 4 to open and empty.
  • the two tear-off foils 6, 7 are closed during the production of the coffee-serving container, after ground coffee or flavorant has been introduced into one or both portioning chambers 3, 4, in particular by welding.
  • the coffee serving container is preferably made of a luftund aroma-tight plastic.
  • the tear-off foils are expediently made as aluminum foil, which can be painted.
