摘要： A system, method and capsule are usable for preparing a predetermined quantity of beverage suitable for consumption using an extractable product is disclosed. The system includes an exchangeable capsule, and an apparatus including a receptacle for holding the exchangeable capsule, and a fluid dispensing device for supplying a fluid to the exchangeable capsule. The exchangeable capsule includes a circumferential wall, a bottom, and a lid. The wall, bottom and lid enclose an inner space comprising the extractable product. The capsule includes an exit area to allow draining from the prepared beverage from the capsule there through, wherein the exit area comprises a filter layer. The filter layer includes a layer of non-woven and/or woven fibrous material with at least one first region where the non-woven and/or woven material has been sealed to prevent egress of liquid there through and at least one second region where the non-woven and/or woven material has not been sealed to allow egress of liquid there through.

摘要： A system (10,20) for processing and handling a liquid food substance, comprises: a processing device (20) that has a processing cavity (21) in which the liquid food substance is processed (21), the processing cavity (21) having an opening (22) that is configured so that the liquid food substance is removable from the processing cavity (21) via the opening (22); and a handling arrangement (10) that is configured to handle the liquid food substance when the liquid food substance is collected in an external user-recipient, such as a cup or a mug, after its processing in the processing cavity (21). The handling arrangement (10) is seizable by a human hand. The handling arrangement (10) is separate from the processing device (20) and from the external user-recipient and is freely movable relative thereto. When seized and operated by the human hand, the handling arrangement (10) is configured: to withdraw such liquid food substance upon processing from the processing cavity (21) and to deliver it into the external user-recipient; and/or to shape such processed liquid food substance upon collection in the external user-recipient.

摘要： An infant formula dispensing apparatus has a receptacle for receiving a sealed pod containing an amount of infant formula powder sufficient for a single feeding of a predetermined size. When the pod is placed in the receptacle, a fixture of the apparatus pierces the pod and forces warm water through the pod. The water mixes with the infant formula powder in the pod and exits the pod though a spout, where it is received in a receptacle, such as a lidless baby bottle.

摘要： A machine (1) for dispensing a beverage (100) has a beverage processing unit (5), a stationary frame (4) and a beverage directing guide (10) that is mounted to the stationary frame (4) and that is movable relative to the stationary frame (4) from: a dispensing position for directing by the directing guide (10) said beverage (100) to an area (2) for placing a user-recipient; to a non-dispensing position for directing by the directing guide (10) waste liquid (101) to a waste collector (3); and vice versa. The beverage processing unit (5) has a beverage guide (50) and a unit outlet (51) via which liquid is passed from the beverage guide (50) to the directing guide (10) located below the unit outlet (51). The stationary frame (4) has a seat (52) above the placing area (2), the directing guide (10) being supported by a removable support frame (16) that is: inserted in the seat (52) so that the directing guide (10) is movable between its dispensing and non-dispensing positions; and user-removable with the directing guide (10) from the seat (52) for removing the directing guide (10) from the stationary frame (4).

摘要： A beverage dispensing assembly may include a brewing body and a lid, as well as a contact pin or dispersion head. The brewing body may define a brew chamber to receive a brew pod. The brewing body may extend along the rotation axis between an upper end and a lower end. The brewing body may define an outlet at the lower end. The lid may be rotatably attached to the brewing body at the upper end to rotate about the rotation axis between a first position and a second position. The first position may secure the lid to the brewing body and restrict access to the brew chamber. The second position may release the lid from the brewing body.
