A method for manufacturing a capsule with a coating, for preparing a beverage by introducing water. The method comprises the steps of: (i) providing a compact of a beverage powder or a mixture of beverage powders, the compact having a surface that is coated or uncoated; (ii) contacting at least a portion of the surface, preferably the entire surface, of the compact with at least one polysaccharide, at least one crosslinking agent, and at least one polyol to form a layer; (iii) drying of the layer.

The layer formed in ii) and iii) is adjusted with a degree of swelling between 20% and 900%, preferably 60% to 850% and most preferably between 100% and 800%; and/or the capsule is expanded on contact with water by 0.3% to 6%, preferably 0.5% to 5.5% and most preferably 1.0% to 4.0%.

The present invention relates to a composition of a ready to mix drink with green coffee extract as the main component. The current embodiment of our present invention includes three types of composition to provide flavour difference. Namely, mocha coffee, roasted coffee and cappuccino coffee flavour. The main components of the composition include the following ingredients in all the variants namely green coffee extract (50%), pullulan, propylene glycol, maltodextrin, polyethylene oxide, glycerol, polysorbate 80, sorbitol, nuesilin UFL2. Di basic calcium phosphate anhydrous, with only the flavoring agent as the changeable component to the composition.
