Stand der Technik sind Portionskapseln, die aus einem aus Aluminiumfolie tiefgezogenem Topf, dessen offene Einfüllseite mit einer Aluminiumfolie luft - und - aromadicht verschlossen ist, oder aus einem aus Kunstofffolie tiefgezogenem Topf, dessen offene Einfüllseite mit einer Kunststofffolie verschlossen ist, oder einem im Kunststoff-Spritzgussverfahren hergestellten Kunsttofftopf, dessen offene Einfüllseite ebenfalls mit einer Kunststoff - oder Aluminiumfolie verschlossen ist, bestehen.Prior art are portion capsules which are made of a pot deep-drawn from aluminum foil, the open Einfüllseite with an aluminum foil air - and - is closed aroma-tight, or from a plastic film deep-drawn pot whose open side is closed with a plastic film, or one in the plastic Kunsttofftopf made of injection molding, whose open Einfüllseite is also closed with a plastic or aluminum foil exist.

Zur Zubereitung eines Getränkes wird die jeweilige Portionskapsel in eine geöffnete Brüh-oder Zubereitungskammer eines Getränkezubereitungsgerätes eingelegt, die aus einem ersten ortsfesten Kammerteil mit Öffnungsmitteln zum Öffnen der Portionskapsel zum Auslauf des Getränkes mit einer Struktur zum Abfließen des Getränkes fluidleitend verbunden ist, und einem zweiten, gegenüber dem ersten Kammerteil horizontal oder vertikal beweglichen Kammerteil, das zur Versorgung der Portionskapsel mit der Extraktionsflüssigkeit mit einem die Extraktionsflüssigkeit zuführenden Aggregat fluidleitend verbunden ist und mit Aufstechmitteln zum Öffnen der Portionseinheit versehen ist, wobei das bewegliche Kammerteil zur Aufnahme der Portionskapsel die Kammer öffnet und zur Extraktion der Portionskapsel die Kammer verschließt.For preparation of a beverage, the respective portion capsule is inserted into an open brewing or preparation chamber of a beverage preparation device, which is fluidly connected from a first stationary chamber part with opening means for opening the portion capsule to the outlet of the beverage with a structure for draining the beverage, and a second relative to the first chamber part horizontally or vertically movable chamber part, which for supplying the portion capsule with the extraction liquid with a the extraction liquid supplying unit is fluid-conductively connected and provided with piercing means for opening the portion unit, wherein the movable chamber part for receiving the portion capsule opens the chamber and closes the chamber for extracting the portion capsule.

Ein dem Stand der Technik entsprechendes Getränkezubereitungsgerät, das mit einer Brüh - oder Zubereitungskammer für die Verwendung von aus einer Aluminiumfolie hergestellten Portionskapseln ausgestattet ist, ist mit einer Prüfvorrichtung versehen, die prüft, ob sich eine Portionskapsel in der Brüh - oder Zubereitungskammer befindet und ob die Brüh - oder Zubereitungskammer geschlossen ist. Zu diesem Zweck sind in dem beweglichen glockenförmigen Brüh - oder Zubereitungskammerteil, in welchem das Portionskapseltopf-Bodenteil bei geschlossenener Brüh - oder Zubereitungskammer liegt, wenigstens zwei elektrische, von einander und von der Brüh- oder Zubereitungskammer elektrisch isolierte Kontakte angeordnet, die die Enden eines offenen Steuerstromkreises einer Steuervorrichtung bilden und bei in der Brüh-oder-Zubereitungskammer liegender Portionskapsel und geschlossener Brüh - oder Zubereitungskammer in elektrisch leitendem Kontakt zu der elektrisch leitenden Portionskapsel stehen und mittels der elektrisch leitenden Portionskapsel den Steuerstromkreis für die Steuervorrichtung schließen. Die Steuervorrichtung gibt den Start für eine Getränkezubereitung nur frei, wenn sich eine elektrisch leitende Portionskapsel in der Brüh - oder Zubereitungskammer befindet und die Brüh- oder Zubereitungskammer geschlossen ist.A prior art beverage preparation apparatus equipped with a brewing or preparation chamber for use with portioned capsules made of an aluminum foil is provided with a testing device which checks whether a portion capsule is in the brewing or preparation chamber and whether the Brewing or preparation chamber is closed. For this purpose, at least two electrical contacts electrically isolated from each other and from the brewing or preparation chamber are arranged in the movable bell-shaped brewing or preparation chamber part, in which the portioning cup bottom part is closed, with the ends of an open brewing device Form control circuit of a control device and are in lying in the brewing or preparation chamber portion capsule and closed brewing or preparation chamber in electrically conductive contact with the electrically conductive portion capsule and close the control circuit for the control device by means of the electrically conductive portion capsule. The control device only releases the start for a beverage preparation if an electrically conductive portion capsule is located in the brewing or preparation chamber and the brewing or preparation chamber is closed.

Da aus Aluminium bestehende Portionskapseln nur relativ aufwendig zu recyceln sind, wäre es vorteilhaft, Portionskapsel für Getränkezubereitungsgeräte, die mit einer Brüh - oder Zubereitungskammer für die Verwendung von aus einer Aluminiumfolie hergestellten Portionskapseln ausgestattet sind, aus einem recycelbaren oder biologisch abbaubaren Kunststoff herzustellen, was außer dem ökologischen Vorteil, den Vorteil von günstigeren Herstellkosten für die Portionskapsel hätte. Da die beschriebenen Getränkezubereitungsgeräte einen Zubereitungszyklus aber nur starten, wenn sich eine elektrisch leitende Portionskapsel in der Brüh- oder Zubereitungskammer befindet, wäre die Verwendung von derartigen Kunststoff-Portionskapsel in diesen Zubereitungsgeräten nicht möglich.Since serving aluminum portion capsules are relatively expensive to recycle, it would be advantageous to make portion capsule for beverage preparation devices, which are equipped with a brewing or preparation chamber for the use of portioned aluminum capsule made of a recyclable or biodegradable plastic, which except the environmental advantage, the advantage of cheaper production costs for the portion capsule would have. However, since the described beverage preparation devices start a preparation cycle only when there is an electrically conductive portion capsule in the brewing or preparation chamber, it would not be possible to use such a plastic portion capsule in these preparation devices.
