Multicompartment capsules of a beverage forming apparatus and methods of making thereof

A multicompartment capsule for use with a beverage forming apparatus, comprising:

• a base and a sidewall extending upwardly from the base wherein the sidewall includes a rim extending outwardly from an upper end thereof which surrounds an opening of the multicompartment capsule wherein an upper surface of the outwardly extending rim is sealed to a lower surface of a lid;
• and
• at least one partition extending through an interior of the multicompartment capsule so as to form a first sealed compartment that is fluidly isolated from a second sealed compartment wherein the first sealed compartment includes a first beverage formulation and the second sealed compartment includes a second beverage formulation wherein the first beverage formulation is reactive with the second beverage formulation and the partition separates the first beverage formulation from the second beverage formulation to extend the shelf life of the multicompartment capsule.

A capsule receptacle of a beverage forming apparatus, that is operable to receive a multicompartment capsule, the receptacle comprising:

• a base and a lid, wherein the base includes a cavity therein that is shaped to receive a multicompartment capsule and the lid is operable to seal the multicompartment capsule in the cavity;
• and
• a spot heater operable to heat a portion of a surface of the cavity wherein the heated surface is configured to be adjacent a thermally detachable partition included in the interior of a multicompartment capsule wherein the multicompartment capsule is configured to fit in the cavity such that the spot heater is operable to detach a portion of the thermally detachable partition.
