Abstract

The invention provides a container for containing precursor material and for use with a machine for preparing beverages and / or food products or precursors thereof, the container comprising a machine-readable code storing preparation information for use with a preparation process performed by the machine, the code comprising: a reference portion (R) to locate the code; a data portion (D) to store the preparation information, and; a code identification portion (I) wherein the code identification portion (I) is separate from the reference portion (R), and wherein the code identification portion encodes information relating to a geometric arrangement of the data portion relative to the reference portion.
