In disposable plastics ingredient cups (1) the ingredients to make one cup of beverage are placed in the base (3) of each plastics cup (1) and then filled cups (1) are nested together to form a stack (4). The cups (1) usually include stacking features (5) to support the base (3) of a cup (1) nested inside it and to define a chamber (7) which receives and holds the beverage ingredients. According to this invention a disposable plastics ingredient cup (1) includes ingredients in pelleted or tableted form (6, 8, 9). By providing the ingredients in this form they are substantially dust free and, as a result, substantially no contamination of the sidewalls of the cups (1) takes place and they take up less space than conventional powdered ingredients so that the ingredient chamber (7) formed between adjacent nested cups (1) can be made with a smaller volume. |
