Abstract: A system comprising a capsule (1) and a capsule receptacle (31) of a preparation machine (30), wherein a sealing lip (10) corresponds with a groove (33) of the capsule receptacle (31) in such a way that the sealing lip (10) is received in the groove (33) and enables a tight connection with a contact surface (32) of the capsule receptacle (31).

Abstract: Device for producing a frothed liquid comprising a chamber opened to atmosphere with a transverse bottom wall and a longitudinal upward wall, at least one diluent inlet, at least one liquid delivery outlet. The diluent inlet is provided through the upward wall and is dimensioned and oriented for directing a thin jet of diluent in the chamber. The at least one liquid delivery outlet is configured in the bottom wall for liquid to rise up along the side of the upward wall by the jet of diluent entering the chamber as a result of the direction and dimension of the diluent inlet in the chamber.

Abstract: Device for producing a frothed liquid comprising a chamber opened to atmosphere with a transverse bottom wall and a longitudinal upward wall, at least one diluent inlet, at least one liquid delivery outlet. The at least one diluent inlet comprises a first diluent inlet provided through the upward wall and dimensioned and oriented for directing a thin jet of diluent in the chamber. The at least one liquid delivery outlet is configured in the bottom wall for liquid to rise up along the side of the upward wall by the jet of diluent entering the chamber as a result of the direction and dimension of the diluent inlet in the chamber.

Abstract: Two chamber parts are pressed against each other in a sealing manner in order to receive a capsule. In an open position, the capsule can be held in an intermediate position between the chamber parts by a positioning unit having mutually opposite guide sections for guiding the capsule on mutually diametrically opposite sections of the capsule collar in order to hold the capsule in the intermediate position. The insertion section is formed as a hinged guide and the opposite guide section as a release guide. The release guide has a recess formed in such a way that the capsule can be rotated out of the intermediate position around the hinge guide and can be released from the release guide. Before reaching the closed position, the capsule is freed from the release guide in first and second movement phases by being acted on by one of the chamber parts.

Abstract: Device for producing a frothed liquid comprising a chamber 13 opened to atmosphere with a transverse bottom wall 14 and a longitudinal upward wall 15, at least one diluent inlet 18, at least one liquid delivery outlet 20, wherein the diluent inlet is provided through the upward wall and is dimensioned and oriented for directing a thin jet of diluent in the chamber, and wherein the at least one liquid delivery outlet is configured in the bottom wall for liquid to rise up along the side of the upward wall by the jet of diluent entering the chamber as a result of the direction and dimension of the diluent inlet in the chamber.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for hygienically and automatically producing from a beverage dispensing device a frothed whitened beverage in a receptacle comprising upon the actuation of a command on the device the following operations controlled by a control unit of said device: —a. metering and delivering a pre-warming volume of heated water in a receptacle for prewarming a whitening food component already contained in the receptacle and forming a warmed liquid in said receptacle, —b. metering and delivering a frothing volume of heated water in the form of at least a pressurized jet directed toward the receptacle for frothing the warmed liquid, —c. producing and delivering in the receptacle a liquid mixture made of a second food component and a metered mixing volume of water. The invention also concerns a device for implementing said method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for preparing a beverage from a substance, which is contained in particular in a capsule, using a liquid medium. The device comprises two chamber parts (5), (6) that can be pressed against one another in a closed position to form a receiving chamber in which the capsule can be locked. Said receiving chamber comprises at least one drainage channel (12) leading from the chamber interior to the chamber exterior, with said channel being disposed on a wall section of one of the chamber parts (5) such that it can be sealed by the capsule (2) and/or by the other chamber part (6) when the closed position is being created.
