Abstract

A device for making beverages using capsules (2) containing food, comprising: an extraction unit (3), in which an openable extraction chamber (4) is made; a feed-in section for the capsules (2) ( 9), the feeding path (10) for the capsule (2) in the device (1) starts from the feeding section (9); and at least one image acquisition device (12), which is in the visible range and positioned outside the extraction chamber (4) along the feed path (10), and in use, it is designed so that when the capsule (2) is positioned along the feed path ( 10) capturing an image of at least one identification portion (14) of said capsule (2) on which a graphic element (15) is present and visible in the image capture zone (13) positioned; image acquisition means (12); electronic A processing unit (20) is connected to said image acquisition means (12) and is programmed to be based on the first image detected by said image acquisition means (12) and one or more images stored in said device (1) The comparison between the two reference images is performed to selectively enable or disable beverage making by performing the following steps.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for making a drink using capsules containing food, which in the context of the present invention may be of any type (soluble or insoluble, powdery, granular, liquid, etc.). Background technique [0002] There are currently many types of prior art devices capable of making beverages, which generally comprise an extraction unit in which an extraction chamber is made into which, in use, a capsule can be inserted. The extraction unit in turn comprises a first part and a second part movable at least relative to each other between a home position and an extraction position in which the The first and second parts are at a distance from each other and the extraction chamber is open to allow a capsule to be positioned therein, in the extraction position the first and second parts are coupled together and close the extraction chamber. The movement of said first and second parts relative to each other may be effected man...
