Description

technical field [0001] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a cartridge for preparing a beverage, eg in a beverage production system, and more particularly to a cartridge comprising an identification element enabling detection of the cartridge by a beverage production machine. Background technique [0002] Beverage production systems have been developed based on the beverage being dispensed, in particular cartridges containing predetermined doses of beverage ingredients (eg coffee, tea, milk powder, etc.). The advantages of such systems are widely recognized. In particular, beverage production systems using pre-packaged cartridges are easy to use, perform clean operations, and provide enhanced quality control over the delivered brewed beverage. Because of these advantages, barrels are being put on the market by several manufacturers and are available in a wide variety. Since these cartridges are often quite similar in appearance, it is possible that a ...
