Kit for the preparation of a beverage in a centrifugal brewing device

Abstract

Kit ( 1 A) for the preparation of a beverage in a centrifugal brewing device ( 30 ) comprising a capsule ( 2 ) by feeding liquid in the capsule and rotating the capsule along a central axis (I) to produce centrifugal forces on the liquid traversing the capsule thereby forcing the beverage out of the capsule by such centrifugal forces, wherein the capsule comprises containment walls forming a main cavity ( 4 ) of central axis (I) containing beverage ingredients; wherein said kit further comprising an insert ( 3 ) which is separate from the capsule and comprising a ring-shaped portion ( 5 ) intended to form a valve engaging portion engaging against a valve means ( 33 ) of the centrifugal brewing device.

1 . Kit for the preparation of a beverage in a centrifugal brewing device comprising a capsule by feeding liquid in the capsule and rotating the capsule along a central axis to produce centrifugal forces on the liquid traversing the capsule thereby forcing the beverage out of the capsule, the capsule comprises containment walls forming a main cavity of central axis containing beverage ingredients,
 the kit comprising an insert which is separate from the capsule and comprising a ring-shaped portion intended to form a valve engaging portion engaging against a valve of the centrifugal brewing device.   
     
     
         2 . Kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the ring-shaped portion of the insert has an outer diameter larger than the largest diameter of the capsule. 
     
     
         3 . Kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the insert has a transversal annular or circular portion inwardly connected to the ring-shaped portion. 
     
     
         4 . Kit according to  claim 3 , wherein the ring-shaped portion extends axially beyond above and/or below the annular or circular portion. 
     
     
         5 . Kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the insert is hollow in the center and/or the annular or circular portion has through-openings. 
     
     
         6 . Kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the ring-shaped portion has a structure in its surface to define beverage radial flow passages during centrifugation. 
     
     
         7 . Kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the ring-shaped portion has radial through-openings. 
     
     
         8 . Kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the capsule has a flange. 
     
     
         9 . Kit according to  claim 8 , wherein the containment walls are formed by a cup-shaped body and a lid connected to body by the flange. 
     
     
         10 . Kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the insert has a cup-shaped portion comprising a cavity for receiving the capsule in a removable manner. 
     
     
         11 . Kit according to  claim 10 , wherein the containment walls of the capsule form a liquid porous bag. 
     
     
         12 . Kit according to  claim 9 , wherein the containment walls comprise a lid with a liquid-tight central area and an annular liquid porous portion at a periphery of the lid and a body with a liquid-tight bottom wall and liquid-tight sidewall. 
     
     
         13 . Kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the containment walls of the capsule comprise a central aperture oriented in direction of the axis and the insert comprises a central tubular portion fitting in the central aperture of the capsule. 
     
     
         14 . Kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the capsule is sealed into a gas-tight package. 
     
     
         15 . Kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the capsule is sealed by a perforable or peel-off sealing membrane. 
     
     
         16 . A method for preparing a beverage in a centrifugal brewing device using a kit comprising a capsule by feeding liquid in the capsule and rotating the capsule along a central axis to produce centrifugal forces on the liquid traversing the capsule thereby forcing the beverage out of the capsule, the capsule comprises containment walls forming a main cavity of central axis containing beverage ingredients, the kit comprising an insert which is separate from the capsule and comprising a ring-shaped portion intended to form a valve engaging portion engaging against a valve of the centrifugal brewing device, the insert forming a valve engaging portion engaging against the valve of the device and the capsule being configured to fit into a capsule holder of the device.
