Capsule with flow regulating technology

A capsule comprising beverage ingredients therein, wherein the capsule comprises:

• a closed enclosure hermetically sealed to gas;
• and
• a perforated flow-regulating disc member which is arranged in the closed enclosure, perpendicularly to the liquid flow path inside the capsule, and which is configured for separating the ingredients at least partially into at least two ingredient spaces and which enables liquid to spread more evenly and transversely across one ingredient space and to the periphery of the enclosure to facilitate extraction of the beverage ingredients in the ingredient spaces.

The capsule comprising an enclosure containing beverage ingredients therein, and having an inner bypass channel traversing the interior of the capsule for guiding a portion of an injected liquid through a first wall of the capsule to an opening produced in an opposing second wall of the capsule without contacting the beverage ingredients.

A capsule based beverage production device comprising:

• an enclosing member containing beverage ingredients therein,
• a water injection and perforation member having an outer tube member that is selectively closable by an inner tube member and selectively openable by injection of a fluid under pressure which moves the inner tube member in an opening to allow the fluid to leave the water injection and perforation member and be injected in the capsule.
