Why keep ingredients separate until the last moment?

This approach turns the container into an active system. It also creates new possibilities for consumers, beverage brands and manufacturers looking for a more visible, practical and adaptable dosing method.

Separating the liquid and the preparation

When a powder, concentrate or other ingredient is premixed, it remains in contact with the liquid throughout storage and transport.

YAAMES technology follows a different principle: keeping the two components in separate compartments until use. The preparation is placed in the capsule while the water remains in the main container.

This separation postpones mixing until the beverage is actually prepared. Compatibility, shelf life and safety must of course be verified for each proposed formulation.

An activation gesture that shapes the experience

The system’s value lies not only in the capsule, but also in the activation gesture.

The user fills the bottle, chooses a preparation and triggers its release when ready to drink. Turning plain water into a prepared beverage becomes a simple and recognizable action.

For a brand, this interaction can create a more memorable experience than a premixed beverage. The technology becomes visible and contributes directly to the product identity.

Multiple preparations with one container

A bottle equipped with a dosing system can accept different capsules suited to different moments of the day:

• a fruit preparation for a break;
• a flavor concentrate to personalize water;
• a soluble powder for sports activities;
• a compatible infusion or plant-based preparation;
• a dose of coffee or tea designed for this method of use.

A platform for brands

YAAMES can also be considered as a component integrated into a company’s product. The mechanism can be engineered according to dose volume, container shape, substance characteristics, the desired activation method, leak-tightness requirements, and manufacturing and filling constraints.

A brand can therefore start with a concrete need—preparing a beverage on demand, offering refills or differentiating packaging—and then develop a suitable prototype.

From idea to prototype

Application development begins by defining the use case, including the substance to be stored, the required volume, the receiving liquid and the conditions of use.

The mechanism is then adapted and tested. Testing may cover leak-tightness, ease of activation, release consistency and mixing quality.

This process assesses technical feasibility before mass production is considered. It also identifies the adjustments needed to make the system reliable, intuitive and economically viable.

A different way to think about the container

With YAAMES, the bottle is no longer just a container. It becomes an interface between a protected dose, a liquid and the moment chosen by the user.

This principle can provide a starting point for new beverages, refillable systems or industrial applications requiring the controlled release of a small quantity of substance.

The innovation lies both in the mechanism and in the freedom to prepare the mixture only when it becomes useful.
