Dissolving coffee beads

A coffee capsule for a dispensing assembly or apparatus comprising:

• at least one substantially gelatin casing capsule or composite, the at least one gelatin casing capsule disposed to contain a coffee concentrate or coffee enhancing substance therein, the at least one gelatin casing capsule adapted to dissolve in an aqueous solution;
• a gelatin portion of the gelatin casing capsule including an irreversibly hydrolyzed form of collagen, wherein the hydrolysis reduces protein fibrils into smaller peptides, wherein the hydrolyzed collagen includes substantially a mixture of glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, together representing substantially between 40% and 60% of the total amino acid content of the gelatin portion;
• and
• the gelatin casing assembly containing at least one or more ingredients from a group of:
• coffee, creamer, sweeteners, and flavors.

A method for coffee capsule dispensing, the method comprising the steps of:

• loading at least one substantially gelatin casing capsule or composite into a housing assembly, the housing assembly having a distal end and a proximal end, the housing assembly adapted to contain the at least one gelatin casing capsule disposed to contain a coffee concentrate or coffee enhancing substance therein;
• depressing a depressible button assembly disposed substantially at the proximal end of the housing assembly and adapted, when depressed, to advance the at least one gelatin casing capsule toward the distal end of the housing assembly;
• a latch and release assembly at the distal end of the housing assembly singularly releasing one of the at least one gelatin casing capsule;
• and
• the one of the at least one gelatin casing capsule dissolving in an aqueous solution.
