Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Capsule ( 1 A) designed in particular for the preparation of a beverage in a centrifugal brewing device by feeding liquid in the capsule and rotating the capsule along a central axis (I) to produce centrifugal forces on the liquid traversing the capsule thereby forcing the beverage out of the capsule by such centrifugal forces, wherein the capsule comprises: a body ( 2 ) comprising containment walls ( 3,4 ), a main opening ( 6 ) of central axis (I) closed by a closing wall ( 8 ) forming a compartment ( 7 ) including beverage ingredients and a flange ( 5 ) peripherally bordering the said opening ( 6 ), wherein it comprises a perforating wall ( 9 ) placed close to the closing wall ( 8 ) and comprising perforating means ( 10 - 15 ) for perforating the closing wall ( 8 ) when applying a pressure on the transversal closing wall ( 8 ) or perforating wall ( 9 ).

First claim
