When used, a sealed cartridge (1) containing a measure of a substrance which dissolves in or is extracted by a liquid in order to prepare a beverage, is placed in a liquid collection element consisting of tapered cup (9), whereafter the whole is placed in the receptacle (21) of a coffee machine "scoop". The top of the cartridge (1) is pierced by a piercing and injecting element which injects a pressurized liquid into the cartridge (1). The membrane (2) forming the bottom of the cartridge is deformed by this pressure and pushed against spikes (13) located at the bottom of the cup (9). The liquid flows through the receptacle (21) and can be collected in cups. The contact time between the substance contained in the cartridge and the liquid intended to dissolve or extract it can thereby be optimized. |
