    Abstract: The invention related to a capsule for preparing a beverage comprising—a substantially rigid capsule body having a circumferential sidewall extending around an inner space of the capsule, said inner space being at least partially filled with a beverage ingredient suitable for preparing the beverage, —a base wall covering the inner space at a first end of the sidewall, —a flange arranged circumferentially around an open side of the capsule at a second end of the sidewall of the base body opposite the base wall, —a lid covering the inner space and the open side of the capsule at the second end of the sidewall opposite the base wall and tightly closing the capsule, the lid being removably attached to the flange of the capsule, —a filter element positioned in the inner space of the capsule between the beverage ingredient and the lid; and—a carrier disk provided in the inner space of the capsule between the lid and the filter, said carrier disk comprising multiple preformed outlet openings suitable for draining the prepared beverage from the inner space outside of the capsule when the capsule is used in the beverage preparation device. According to the invention, the capsule comprises at least one mechanical deformation at the junction or in the vicinity of the junction of the flange and side wall of the capsule, said mechanical deformation retaining the carrier disk inside the inner space of the capsule. The invention also relates to a manufacturing method for manufacturing said capsule and to the use of said capsule.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a coffee-based beverage comprising probiotics, wherein the probiotics has a live probiotic cell count of >6.0 log CFU/mL. The invention further relates to a method of preparing the coffee-based beverage with a live probiotic cell count of >6.0 log CFU/mL, comprising the steps of: mixing coffee brew with sugar and an inactivated yeast to form a mixture, adding probiotics to the mixture to form an inoculated mixture, and fermenting the inoculated mixture for a pre-determined period of time to form the beverage. The probiotics may comprise Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus fermentum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Saccharomyces boulardii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or a combination thereof.

    Abstract: The present inventive concept consists of a logic controlled submersion brewing device that operates reliably with minimal user interaction. The brewer employs a submersion brewing technique to ensure a uniform extraction of beverage from solid extraction media. The device may be programmable to start on a timer. Parameters of the brew program may be customizable including serving size and extraction settings. The device will use vapor pressure to forcibly move beverage liquid across a sieve thereby separating the liquid from spent extraction media. Reliability and repeatability of the separation procedure is enhanced using a novel method of pressure control.
