COFFEE PODS PRODUCTION METHOD AND COFFEE POD FOR COFFEE PREPARATION PRODUCED BY THIS METHOD Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A23F5/12 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method envisages production of coffee pod for coffee preparation using the said pod wherein the initial coffee material is compressed under specified pressure application so that a coffee pod is produced having a specified strength; the specified strength under specified pressure application depends on such coffee parameters as moisture content in the initial coffee material, the initial coffee material frying degree and/or bulk volume of the initial coffee material; the coffee parameters values are selected so that the obtained strength of the coffee pod will ensure the pod destruction at the desired moment in the desired way. The applied pressure is equal to 70 - 130 bar. The coffee pod has strength equal to 20 - 75 N, the initial coffee material frying degree is equal to 80 - 30, the bulk weight is equal to 500 - 880 per 250 g of the initial coffee material, the moisture content is equal to 2 - 8%. Additionally the invention relates to a coffee pod for coffee preparation which is produced by the said method.

EFFECT: method allows to produce a pod having such structure or hardness that the pod may sustain packing and transportation without destruction at an undesired moment and is applicable for high-quality coffee preparation.
