CAPSULE, METHOD FOR PREPARING VARIOUS BEVERAGE IN THE SAME MACHINE AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING HYGIENE AND REDUCING CROSS-CONTAMINATION IN THE PREPARATION OF A BAVERAGE FROM A CAPSULE

摘要

A combination of a capsule and an extraction system for preparing a beverage by which the flow of beverage is delivered without contact with the system. The capsule (100) comprises a closed chamber containing the substance to be extracted and means allowing the capsule to be opened at the time of its use and for allowing the beverage to flow out. The capsule (100) comprises means for the collection and outflow of the beverage directly in the cup. The system is free of said opening means and has a support element (102) for holding the capsule. The combination is adapted for reducing the risk of cross-contamination and hygiene issues in multi-beverage preparation and dispense.
