专利说明:

The present disclosure relates to a method of dispensing a beverage, a beverage preparation machine and a system. Background
Beverage dispensing machines are well known. For example, the production of coffee-based drinks with the use of drip filter machines and espresso drink machines is known. These machines can use roasted and ground coffee that can be supplied in loose form or in doses wrapped by individual filters in the form of capsules or small wrappers.
Roasted and ground coffee can also be formed into tablets, for example as described in CA808588. Typically, a coffee tablet is formed from compressed and roasted roasted and ground coffee. The high compression pressures used result in a coffee tablet that retains its shape during normal handling without the need for excessive packaging or a lid. These coffee tablets can be used in espresso machines and machines with filters.
In more recent times 'on demand' beverage machines have been marketed allowing drinks to be produced on an individual basis as needed by a user of individual sealed capsules, cartridges or flexible bags of ground coffee. Even more recently, beverage machines have been produced for convenient and on-demand dispensing of a range of beverage types. An example of such a system is marketed under the trade name TASSIMO® by Kraft Foods, Inc. This system (as described in EP1440639)
Foods, Inc. This system (as described in EP1440639) uses a beverage preparation machine that comprises a barcode reader and a series of beverage cartridges in which each beverage cartridge contains one or more beverage ingredients and is encoded with a barcode. In use, the beverage machine's barcode reader scans and reads the barcode on a beverage cartridge after it is inserted into the machine and uses the decoded barcode information to establish one or more dispensing parameters of the beverage machine for that dispensing cycle. Brief summary of the revelation
In accordance with the present disclosure, a method of dispensing a beverage is presented comprising: a) inserting a beverage ingredient tablet into a preparation machine; b) measuring the end of the surface of at least a portion of the beverage ingredient tablet to identify the beverage ingredient tablet; c) configuring one or more dispensing parameters of the beverage preparation machine based on the identification of the beverage ingredient tablet; and d) operating the beverage preparation machine to dispense a beverage by contacting the beverage ingredient tablet with an aqueous fluid.
Advantageously, the method allows dispensing parameters to be adapted to the requirements of each type of beverage ingredient tablet, unlike the prior art methods of using beverage ingredient tablets, which cannot readily distinguish between different types of tablet. .
The one or more dispensing parameters can be selected from the group comprising: aqueous fluid temperature; volume of aqueous fluid dispensed; flow of the aqueous fluid; aqueous fluid pressure; and presence or absence of a pre-moist stage.
When measuring the end of the surface of at least a portion of the beverage ingredient tablet, the measured surface may be a beverage ingredient surface, a marker surface applied to the beverage ingredient tablet, or a surface of an element insert inserted into the beverage ingredient tablet.
The use of the beverage ingredient surface itself (in other words, the surface of the compacted powder itself rather than any separate element) for identification is preferred as it can avoid the need to provide a separate element carrying an identifier, as a marker or insert element. This results in less environmental waste and a simplified manufacturing process. However, the present disclosure also includes the options of applying a marker to at least a portion of the tablet's surface or embedding an insert into the tablet that has at least a visible portion on the outer surface of the tablet. The marker or insert does not close the tablet or cover or extend over a majority of a tablet's surface, but only to the extent necessary for a sensor to sense the end of the element's surface.
Measuring the end of the surface can comprise measuring one or more of: the color of the surface, the reflectance of the surface, the roughness of the surface, and a pattern on the surface.
The measurement of the end of the surface can be a non-contact measurement. Although a contact sensor can be used, such as a profilometer, to measure the roughness of the surface end, a non-contact measurement is preferred. Advantageously, the use of a non-contact measurement is faster than contact measurement and does not risk damaging or breaking the beverage ingredient tablet.
Non-contact measurement may comprise a surface metrology technique that includes, but is not limited to, one or more of interferometry, confocal microscopy, focus variation, structured light scanning, and electrical capacitance. Alternatively, non-contact measurement can include one or more of colorimetry and photogrammetry.
The present disclosure also provides a beverage preparation machine: a chamber for receiving a beverage ingredient tablet; an aqueous fluid source; a heater to vary the temperature of the aqueous fluid; a sensor for measuring the end of the surface of at least a portion of the beverage ingredient tablet in use; a controller associated with the aqueous fluid source, the heater and the sensor;
The controller being programmed to identify the beverage ingredient tablet based on the measurement of the end of the surface and configure one or more dispensing parameters of the beverage preparation machine based on said identification.
The one or more dispensing parameters configured by the controller can be selected from the group that comprises: aqueous fluid temperature; volume of aqueous fluid dispensed; flow of the aqueous fluid; aqueous fluid pressure; and presence or absence of a pre-moist stage.
The sensor can be configured to measure one or more of: surface color, surface reflectance, surface roughness, and a pattern on the surface.
The sensor may be a contact sensor but is preferably a non-contact sensor.
The sensor can be an interferometer, a confocal microscope, a focus variation device, a structured light-scanning device, a capacitive displacement sensor, a tri-stimulus colorimeter, a spectrophotometer, a spectrocolorimeter, a spectroradiometer or a photogrammeter.
The present disclosure also provides a system comprising a beverage preparation machine as described above and a beverage ingredient tablet.
The beverage ingredient tablet may comprise a compressed powder tablet containing one or more powdered beverage ingredients.
The beverage ingredient tablet may comprise a marker applied to the surface of the beverage ingredient tablet, or an insert element inserted into the beverage ingredient tablet.
The beverage ingredient tablet may comprise one or more ingredients in different proportions. The ingredients can include, among others: roasted and ground coffee, instant coffee, instant tea, powdered milk, non-milky whitener, sugar, artificial sweeteners. The beverage ingredient tablet may include one or more additives to color the tablet. The beverage ingredient tablet may, in addition, include binders or other excipients such as starches, maltodextrin and carboxymethylcellulose.
The beverage ingredient tablet can take any desired geometric shape, for example, circular, square, rectangular or oval. The tablet may have a substantially upper planar surface and / or a lower surface. In one example, the tablet may have a circular cylindrical shape. Brief description of the drawings

The embodiments of the beverage ingredient tablet 20 are shown in Figures 2a through 2d. The beverage ingredient tablet 20 of Figure 2a comprises a simple tablet without any additional elements. The beverage ingredient tablet 20 is manufactured to comprise surface purposes for each type of beverage intended (for example, espresso, filtered coffee, latte) which are distinguishable from each other by the sensor 37 of the beverage preparation machine 30. The variation at the surface end for the beverage ingredient tablets 20 it may be one or more of a variation in color, or a surface feature such as roughness and / or reflectance.
Variation in color can be achieved by changing one or more of the characteristics of the beverage ingredients that make up the beverage ingredient tablet 20. For example, the degree of roasting of the roasted coffee precursor will change the color of the used roasted and ground coffee to form a coffee-based tablet. In addition, or alternatively, a dyeing additive, such as food dyeing, can be added to the beverage ingredient tablet 20 to provide a different surface color for the beverage ingredient tablets for the different types of drinks intended.
The variation in roughness and / or reflectance can be achieved by changing the constituent ingredients of the beverage ingredient tablet 21. For example, the particle size of the powdered ingredients can be selected to achieve a desired surface roughness and / or reflectance. In addition, or alternatively, the tablet may have embossed surface features during the formation of tablet compaction that may be different for beverage ingredient tablets for different types of intended drinks.
The beverage ingredient tablet 20 of Figure 2b comprises a tablet with a marker 21 affixed to the upper surface. Marker 21 as shown covers a relatively small portion of the top face of the beverage ingredient tablet 20. Marker 21 can be formed of a food safety material designed to dissolve in hot water such as edible rice paper or a blade of sugar .
The variation in the end of the marker 21 surface can be one or more of a variation in color, or a surface characteristic such as roughness and / or reflectance.
The variation in the color of the marker 21 can be achieved by changing the material of the marker or by dyeing the marker 21 by printing or other suitable method.
The variation in the roughness and / or reflectance of the marker 21 can be achieved by changing the material of the marker 21. In addition, or alternatively, the marker 21 may have surface characteristics created in this by, for example, etching, printing lifting, embossing, etc.
The beverage ingredient tablet 20 of Figure 2c comprises a tablet with an insert 22 embedded in the upper surface so that an upper surface of the insert 22 is visible on the outer surface of the tablet. The marker 22 as shown covers a relatively small portion of the top face of the beverage ingredient tablet 20. The insert 22 may be formed of a food safety material designed to dissolve in hot water.
As with marker 21 in Figure 2c, the variation in the end of the surface of an insertion element 22 can be one or more of a variation in color, or a surface characteristic such as roughness and / or reflectance. The variation can be achieved in the same way as described above for marker 21.
The beverage ingredient tablet 20 of Figure 2d comprises a tablet with a pattern, illustration or other visual element 23 located on the top surface of the tablet. The pattern, illustration or other visual element 23 can be stamped onto the tablet with the use of edible ink or it can be embossed on the top surface during compaction of the tablet during manufacture.
The variation at the end of the surface of the pattern, illustration or other visual element 23 can be a variation in one or more of the shape, size, configuration, roughness, reflectance and color of the element.
The variation in the color of the pattern, illustration or other visual element 23 can be achieved by changing the color of the paint used.
The variation in roughness and / or reflectance can be achieved, where paint is used, by changing the type or amount of paint applied. When embossing the tablet, the embossing depth and pattern can be varied.
