Abstract: A device for preparing a heated liquid for use with a beverage-making appliance includes a liquid transport channel in communication with a liquid reservoir which discharges into a first chamber. The first chamber includes a steam inlet which is connectable to a steam generator. A second chamber of the device is connected to the first chamber via a restriction and has a liquid outlet. The device is in the form of a cartridge n which the liquid reservoir, the liquid transport channel, the first chamber, the steam inlet, the restriction, the second chamber, and the liquid outlet are provided. All components of the device are integrated into one cartridge, so the cartridge can be discarded after use.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for preparing a heated liquid for use with a beverage-making appliance (15), said device (1) comprising a liquid transport channel (25) in communication with a liquid reservoir (11) which discharges into a first chamber (26), said first chamber (26) comprising a steam inlet (16) which is connectable to a steam generator (32), and a second chamber (28) which is connected to the first chamber (26) via a restriction (27) and which has a liquid outlet (29), wherein the device for preparing a heated liquid comprises a cartridge (100) in which the liquid reservoir (11), the liquid transport channel (25), the first chamber (26), the steam inlet (16), the restriction (27), the second chamber (28), and the liquid outlet (29) are provided. All components of the device are integrated into one cartridge, so the cartridge can be discarded after use. Thus a hygienic device is provided which is also user-friendly because it does not have to be cleaned after use.
