Abstract:
A pad with a covering filled with product to be extracted and/or to be dissolved, wherein, in use, a fluid such as water is supplied under pressure to the pad, so that the fluid is pressed through the pad for obtaining a beverage which, thereupon, leaves the pad. The pad is provided with a spout opening for generating, with the spout opening, a jet of the beverage which leaves the pad for obtaining the fine bubble froth layer on the beverage wit the aid of the beverage.

Claim (Index 1):
In combination a first pad and a second pad for selective use in the same beverage preparation apparatus supplying an amount of fluid over a given period of time for selectively preparing one of a first amount of beverage using the first pad and a second amount of beverage larger than the first amount using the second pad, each said first and second pad having a covering filled with at least a product to be extracted, the first and second pad being each adapted, in use, to be supplied with a fluid such as water under pressure during a predetermined given period of time, so that the fluid is pressed through the selected one of the first and second pad for obtaining a beverage which, thereupon, leaves the selected one of the first and second pad, wherein the covering of the first pad and the covering of the second pad are each provided with a first side and a second side, wherein the product is located between the first side and the second side, wherein, on the second side, the covering of the first pad and the covering of the second pad are each substantially non-transmissive to the fluid and the beverage, wherein, on the relevant first side, the covering of the first pad and the covering of the second pad are each formed by a first sheet and, on the relevant second side, are each formed by a second sheet, wherein each of the first and second pad is provided in, on or at the relevant second sheet with a respective first and second spout opening, wherein a predefined flow resistance of the relevant first and second spout opening is different for each of the first and second pad by selecting a cross section of the relevant first spout opening of the first pad to be relatively smaller than a cross section of the relevant second spout opening of the second pad;\n wherein the first and second pad each comprises distancing means which form a fluid flow area that extends between the relevant first or second spout opening and the product, wherein the fluid flow area comprises an inflow surface, while, in use, at least one of the fluid and the beverage flows into the fluid flow area via the inflow surface and flows from the fluid flow area via the relevant first or second spout opening; wherein the inflow surface extends over substantially a complete cross section of the covering of the first and second pad over which the product extends; and wherein the distancing means comprise a substantially rigid element; wherein the first and second sheets are substantially flexible, such that the distancing means extends between the relevant first or second spout opening and the product.
