Abstract: An adapter (1) for use in the preparation of a beverage by a capsule (2) and a beverage preparation device. The adapter (1) can be placed together with the capsule (2) in the beverage preparation device. The adapter (1) has a capsule face (4), on which mechanism (5) for introducing a liquid into the capsule (2) and mechanism (6) for discharging a liquid from the capsule (2) are located. In addition, the adapter (1) has a device face (7), on which an inlet (8) for a liquid provided by the beverage preparation device and an outlet (9) are located. The inlet (8) is fluidically connected to the mechanism (5) for introducing a liquid into the capsule (2) and the outlet (9) is fluidically connected to the mechanism (6) for discharging a liquid from the capsule (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a capsule (1) for preparing a beverage, comprising—a core material (3) having a pressed product and—a shell (2) enclosing the core material, the capsule (1) having in a breaking strength test a maximum percentage expansion of at least 15% in a direction transverse to a pressing direction.

Abstract: A set (47), for use in the preparation of a beverage by a beverage preparation device, comprising a capsule (2) and an adapter (1). The adapter (1) and the capsule (2) are interconnected in a stand-by position such that the adapter (1) and the capsule (2) can be transferred, from the stand-by position, into an operating position in which the inlet (8) of the adapter (1) is in fluid connection with the substance chamber (49) of the capsule (2).

Abstract: A capsule for preparing a beverage, in particular a hot beverage, consisting of a compact of a material selected from the group consisting of instant coffee, instant tea, soluble coffee substitute extract, cocoa, drinking chocolate, milk powder, vegan milk substitute powder, dry soup, protein powder, fillers, food supplements, and combinations thereof, wherein the capsule is configured such that it dissolves in, in particular, hot water.

Abstract: The invention relates to a capsule for preparing a beverage product. The capsule comprises a capsule body, a lid, and an inlet for introducing a fluid into the capsule. The capsule body is covered by the lid to form a closed receiving chamber, and the inlet is arranged eccentrically on the capsule in relation to a center of the cover. A first machine readable code is eccentrically applied to, in particular printed on, the lid. In relation to the center of the lid, the first machine-readable code. in particular the center thereof, is arranged at an angular spacing relative to the inlet. The angular spacing has a magnitude of at most 70°, preferably at most 60°, preferably at most 50°.

Abstract: An adapter (1) for preparing a beverage by a capsule (2) and a beverage preparation device (3). The adapter (1) has a disk-shaped main body (17) with a capsule side (4) and a device side (7). On the capsule side (4), a mechanism (5) for introducing a liquid into the capsule (2) and mechanism (6) for discharging a liquid from the capsule (2) are arranged. On the device side (7), an inlet (8) and an outlet (9) are arranged. The inlet (8) is fluidically connected to the mechanism (5) for introducing the liquid, and the outlet (9) is fluidically connected to the mechanism (6) for discharging the liquid. The device side (7) is at least partially covered with a covering (67) to form an intermediate volume (19), between the main body (17) and the covering (67), which fluidically connects the inlet (8) to the mechanism (5) for introducing the liquid.
