Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pack (100) for preparing a food or beverage product from one or more ingredients, the pack comprising an insert (10) and a container (20); the container (20) being configured by at least one flexible sheet folded in such a way to configure a container where one or more ingredients can be stored; such that the at least one flexible sheet is arranged overwrapping and matching the shape of the insert (10) in its entirety except for the part of the insert (10) in direct communication with the inner volume of the container (20). Typically, the at least one flexible sheet is arranged tightly sealed over the insert (10). Also preferably, the distance of the insert (10) which is overwrapped in any of its transversal direction along its longitudinal axis is constant. The invention further relates to a preparation machine (50) cooperating with a pack (100) as the one described, to a system for preparing a food or beverage product comprising a pack (100) and a preparation machine (50), to the use of a pack (100) for preparing a food or beverage product and to a method for preparing a food or beverage product.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a capsule holder (2) for a beverage preparation machine, said capsule holder (2) comprising a cavity for receiving an ingredient capsule for beverage preparation, the capsule holder (2) comprising communication means (6) for communicating with a main assembly of a beverage preparation machine adapted to receive said capsule holder. The communication means (6) has a variable element, and the capsule holder (2) comprises electronic circuitry configured to set a state of said variable element. The communication means makes (6) it possible to provide to the rest of a beverage preparation machine a signal according to which an operating parameter of the machine may be based. In some embodiments, such a capsule holder (2) may be used to transform a manual beverage preparation machine into a machine having an automated operating parameter, e.g. an automated flow-stop capability. The invention also relates to a beverage preparation machine comprising such a capsule holder (2).
