Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for preparing a beverage from a container ( 1 ) containing beverage ingredients by centrifugation of the container in a beverage preparation device; said container ( 1 ) having: an outer wall ( 2 ) and an inner wall ( 3 ); each wall having a peripheral portion ( 4, 5 ) extending around a central axis (I) and a bottom portion ( 6, 7 ); a lid ( 18 ) covering said outer and inner walls ( 2, 3 ); and forming with said inner wall ( 3 ) an inner cavity ( 8 ) containing beverage ingredients ( 9 ), an outer collecting cavity ( 10 ) positioned between the outer and inner walls ( 2, 3 ), beverage outlets or outlet precursors ( 11 ) positioned on the peripheral portion ( 5 ) of the inner wall, wherein the method includes: supplying liquid in the inner cavity, rotating the container ( 1 ) around its central axis (I) to force liquid through beverage outlets from the inner cavity ( 8 ) to the outer cavity ( 10 ) under the effect of centrifugal pressure, maintaining an overpressure of supplied liquid in the container to enable the beverage to be drained from the outer cavity ( 10 ) out of the container.
