Abstract

See full text

A system for preparing a predetermined quantity of beverage suitable for consumption using an extractable product is disclosed. The system comprises an exchangeable capsule, and an apparatus comprising a receptacle for holding the exchangeable capsule. The exchangeable capsule is an open capsule with an exit filter adapted to drain prepared beverage from the system into a cup. The apparatus comprises exit filter piercing means that are provided in the receptacle opposite of the exit filter of the capsule. The exit filter piercing means cooperate with the exit filter to pierce the exit filter to create at least one additional opening, wherein the exit filter, when used in a prior art apparatus that has lid piercing means to pierce a lid of a closed capsule, is not pierced by the lid piercing means and stays intact.
