Abstract
The disposable capsule for the production of an aromatic beverage comprises a container having a closed base which can be perforated for the inlet of water, and an open base closed by at least a filter through which the beverage can exit, said filter having a peripheral edge applied to a peripheral profile of said open base of the container, the peripheral profile of the open base to which the peripheral edge of said filter conforms having a peripheral development at a variable height with respect to the axis of the container.
Claims13
A disposable capsule for production of an aromatic beverage, comprising:
- a container having a closed base, which can be perforated for the inlet of water, and an open base having a peripheral profile along at least one side thereof such that along the at least one side, the peripheral profile varies in height with respect to the closed base;
- a filter covering the open base for filtering a beverage overflowing from the container, the filter having a peripheral edge configuration conforming to a shape of the peripheral profile of the open base of the container, the configuration of the peripheral edge engaging the peripheral profile in a conforming manner, the configuration of the peripheral edge extending inward into the filter to cause the filter to have an increased filtering surface area through which water is filtered as compared to a plan area of an interior of the container encompassed by the open base;
- wherein said peripheral profile of said open base of the container has at least partially an undulatory development.
A disposable capsule for production of an aromatic beverage, comprising:
- a container having a closed base, which can be perforated for the inlet of water, and an open base having a peripheral profile along at least one side thereof such that along the at least one side, the peripheral profile varies in height with respect to the closed base;
- a filter covering the open base for filtering a beverage overflowing from the container, the filter having a peripheral edge configuration conforming to a shape of the peripheral profile of the open base of the container, the configuration of the peripheral edge engaging the peripheral profile in a conforming manner, the configuration of the peripheral edge extending inward into the filter to cause the filter to have an increased filtering surface area through which water is filtered as compared to a plan area of an interior of the container encompassed by the open base;
- wherein the peripheral profile has a corrugated configuration varying in height with respect to the closed base and the peripheral edge of the filter has a corrugated configuration conforming to a shape of the corrugated configuration of the peripheral profile of the open base, the corrugated configuration of the peripheral edge engaging the corrugated configuration of the peripheral profile in a conforming manner, the corrugated configuration of the peripheral edge extending inward into the filter to cause the filter to have the increased surface area through which water is filtered.
