Abstract:
A multicompartment capsule for use with a beverage forming apparatus includes a base and a sidewall extending upwardly from the base. The sidewall includes a rim extending outwardly from an upper end thereof. The rim surrounds an opening of the multicompartment capsule wherein an upper surface of the outwardly extending rim is sealed to a lower surface of a lid. At least one partition extends through an interior of the multicompartment capsule so as to form a first sealed compartment that is fluidly isolated from a second sealed compartment. The first sealed compartment includes a first beverage formulation and the second sealed compartment includes a second beverage formulation. The first beverage formulation is reactive with the second beverage formulation and the partition separates the first beverage formulation from the second beverage formulation to extend the shelf life of the multicompartment capsule.

Claim (Index 3):
The multicompartment capsule of  claim 1 , wherein:\n (a) the at least one partition is a thermally detachable partition that is configured to be detached upon heating thereof by a beverage forming apparatus; (b) the sidewall includes at least one catch and the at least one partition is a thermally detachable partition that is configured to be detached upon heating thereof by a beverage forming apparatus such that the first and second beverage formulations may be combined, the at least one catch configured to obstruct the detached thermally detachable partition such that the thermally detachable partition does not obstruct an outlet formed in the multicompartment capsule during beverage formation; (c) the at least one partition includes a weakened portion that is configured to rupture under a predetermined pressure build-up in the multicompartment capsule; (d) the at least one partition includes a first partition and a second partition, wherein the first partition fluidly isolates the first compartment from second compartment and the second partition fluidly isolates the second compartment from a third compartment; or (e) the at least one partition is friction fit in the multicompartment capsule wherein the partition is configured to be detached when urged by a liquid supplying piercing element of a beverage forming apparatus such that the beverage formulation in the first sealed compartment combines with the beverage formulation in the second sealed compartment.
