Claims44
A method for preparing a beverage suitable for consumption from at least two ingredients to be dissolved and/or extracted and an amount of liquid such as water which is supplied to the ingredients, the at least two ingredients comprising a first ingredient utilized in a first holder system and a second ingredient utilized in a second holder system, the method comprises the following steps:
- supplying a first part of the amount of liquid such as hot water to the first holder system so that the first holder system is flowed-through with the liquid whereby the first ingredient is dissolved or extracted for obtaining a first beverage part;
- supplying a second part of the amount of liquid to the second holder system so that the second holder system is flowed-through with the liquid such that the second ingredient is dissolved or extracted for obtaining a second beverage part;
- and
- combining the first beverage part and the second beverage part for obtaining the beverage.
An apparatus for preparing a beverage suitable for consumption from at least two ingredients to be dissolved and/or extracted and an amount of liquid such as water which is supplied to the ingredients, the apparatus comprising:
- a first holder system in which a first ingredient is included, the first holder system being provided with at least one inflow side and at least one outflow side, a second holder system in which a second ingredient is included, the second holder system being provided with at least one inflow side and at least one outflow side,
- liquid supply means for supplying to the inflow side of the first holder system a predetermined first amount of the amount of liquid so that the first holder system is flowed through with the liquid whereby the first ingredient is extracted, or dissolves for obtaining a first beverage part which leaves the first holder system via the outflow side of the first holder system, and for supplying to the inflow side of the second holder system a predetermined second part of the amount of liquid so that the second holder system is flowed through with the liquid whereby the second ingredient is extracted, or dissolves for obtaining a second beverage part which leaves the second holder system via the outflow side of the second holder system, and
- wherein the apparatus is further designed for dispensing the first beverage part and the second beverage part to a receiving container such as a cup or mug.
The apparatus according to claim 48, wherein the first ingredient comprises ground coffee and that the second ingredient comprises a milk powder/creamer and a substance generating froth when it is contacted with a liquid such as water.
