A beverage service system, assembly, and method enable a consumer to portably consume a beverage output from a single-service beverage media container. The beverage service system incorporates a lid formation and a liquid container. The lid formation is configured to receive and retain a single-service beverage media container, and provides a primary beverage outlet, a container-receiving aperture, and a container retention mechanism. The single-service beverage media container is received in the container-receiving aperture and retained by the container retention mechanism. The lid formation is attached to the primary liquid container thereby forming a lid-container combination. A liquid such as hot water may be directed through the single-service beverage media container as received and retained by the lid formation for outputting beverage therefrom into the liquid container. The beverage, as outlet from the lid formation and collected in the liquid container, may then be consumed via the primary beverage outlet.

A container having a base and a lid is provided. The lid may be rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration and may be secured, via one or more latching assemblies. The latching assembly may comprise a latch body, a locking member, a biasing member, and an activating member. Additional features of the container may include handles and strength increasing features. The base and lid may also feature attachment points for various accessories. A carry strap may attach to the base of the container to allow a user to lift and carry the container.

An automated order fulfillment system is disclosed having different temperature zones and robots and containers capable of and/or configured to work in these different temperature zones. Containers include insulated wall panels and a thermal insert which may be chilled to maintain a temperature within the container below ambient temperature. Structure within a storage location for the containers may be used to open and close the containers to facilitate cooling of the thermal insert.

A container lid is disclosed that accepts a snap-on container. The lid includes a continuous outer coupling trough for attachment to the open top of a beverage container where the trough circumscribes a footprint of the container lid. A straw-hole planar surface is disposed within the footprint, the straw-hole planar surface is adjacent to the outer coupling trough and a hole for drinking a liquid in the container extends through the straw-hole planar surface. A riser wall extends away from the straw-hole planar surface and defines a first planar surface above the straw-hole planar surface. A sip hole extends through the first planar surface. A food container coupling wall connects to the first planar surface and extends from the first planar surface to a position lower than the first planar surface and a food container coupling bottom connected to the food container coupling wall.

Disclosed is a container stopper (100) coupled to a container inlet (12) of a container (10) in which content is held, the container stopper comprising: a stopper body (110) that is coupled to the container inlet (12) and has, on the upper side thereof, an auxiliary space (S1) in which auxiliary content (42) having a granular structure is held; and an upper cover (120) that is coupled to the stopper body (110), forms the auxiliary space (S1) together with the stopper body (110), and covers the auxiliary space (S1).

Closure device includes a closure cap, which can be screwed onto the threaded connection of a container, forming a fillable capsule that is open at the bottom, on which a seal directed downward is sealed. Upper side of the part of the closure cap which forms the capsule is designed to be deformable and can be pressed axially downward. A press element is molded on this cover of the closure cap at the bottom. By pressing the cover downward, the downward-directed seal of the capsule is broken open by the press element. Seal is made from a laminate comprising a carrier material with a thickness of at least 0.5 mm. Subsequently, a barrier film is sprayed or laminated on the carrier material. The crimping forms a circumferential edge, by means of which the seal can be sealed to the capsule edge, on the inner side of the carrier material, with respect to the capsule, and resting on same. The carrier material has pre-notches in the form of cuts, which approximately cut through the carrier material yet leave the attached films intact.
