1 . A capsule for food or beverage preparation having a capsule body defining a compartment for containing a precursor ingredient, the capsule body having a volume with one symmetry plane or one symmetry axis so as to define at least two symmetrical volume segments, the capsule being suitable for coupling any of its body segments to a food or beverage preparation machine for injection of a mixing ingredient from the machine within the capsule, the capsule comprises at least two codes each located in one body segment, each code carrying two different alternative values of a same beverage preparation setting. 2 . A capsule according to claim 1 , wherein the capsule body comprises side, top and bottom walls, and the codes are located on the top wall. 3 . A capsule according to claim 1 , wherein the capsule body has a frustoconical volume having a vertical central symmetry axis. 4 . A capsule according to claim 1 , wherein each code comprises at least one printed or embossed line, or a series of superimposed printed or embossed lines, suitable for being read by an optical reader of the machine. 5 . A capsule according to claim 1 , wherein the beverage preparation setting borne by each code of the capsule is the volume of food or beverage to be dispensed. 6 . A food or beverage preparation system comprising a food or beverage preparation machine having an optical reader, and a capsule the capsule having a body defining a compartment for containing a precursor ingredient, the capsule body having a volume with one symmetry plane or one symmetry axis so as to define at least two symmetrical volume segments, the capsule being suitable for coupling any of its body segments to the food or beverage preparation machine for injection of a mixing ingredient from the machine within the capsule, the capsule comprises at least two codes each located in one body segment, each code carrying two different alternative values of a same beverage preparation setting.
