Abstract: A pad, for use in a coffee-maker for preparing 1 or 2 cups of beverage, includes an envelope with an inner space which is filled with a beverage preparation product for preparing the beverage. The beverage preparation product comprises a product to be extracted with a fluid (and/or a product soluble in a fluid). The envelope is formed by a first disc-shaped sheet and a second disc-shaped sheet which are interconnected adjacent their longitudinal edges. The interconnected parts of the first sheet and the second sheet form a sealing seam wherein the first sheet and the second sheet each form a filter which can pass a fluid and which forms a barrier to the product to be extracted. The second sheet is of form-retaining design. In use with the coffee-maker, a fluid such as water is supplied under pressure to the pad so that the fluid is pressed through the pad for obtaining a beverage which thereupon leaves the pad.
