Abstract

The machine has a magazine (2) in which the capsules are stacked, and a picker for removing the capsules one at a time from the magazine to transfer them to an extraction system (7). The picker is able to adopt at least two positions: one in which it receives the capsule from the magazine and a second in which it releases the capsule inside the extraction system as the latter closes round it. Once the capsule has been used, the picker removes it from the lower member (71) of the extraction system before it is replaced by a fresh capsule.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for preparing a beverage with a capsule containing a substance to be extracted in an extraction system. In particular the invention relates to the selection and acquisition of a capsule charge in such a device. Background technique [0002] It is well known to prepare beverages such as coffee from capsules containing a predetermined amount of roasted ground coffee. The advantages of the capsules are that it facilitates the operation of the beverage preparation, guarantees a clean preparation, no visible extraction waste, effective control of the dosage and quality of the prepared product, and the reproduction of this product. [0003] Generally, the principle of extracting a capsule consists in (i) closing the capsule into a pressure-resistant container, (ii) drilling a hole in one face of the capsule using a thimble or blade in a part which has a The water inlet of the "spray head", (iii) introduces a certain amount...
