A device (1) handles selectively a first capsule (2a) having a first flange (2a′) and a second capsule (2b) having a second flange (2b′) greater than the first flange (2a′). The device comprises: a first part (10) and a second part (20) that are relatively movable from a transfer position for inserting and/or removing such capsule (2a, 2b) to an extraction position for extracting such capsule (2a, 2b); and a third part (30) for guiding such capsule (2a, 2b) to inbetween the first and second parts (10, 20) when in the transfer position. The third part (30) has: a first portion (31a) for engaging with and guiding the first flange (2a′) of the first capsule (2a); and a second portion (31b) for engaging with and guiding the second flange (2b′) of the second capsule (2b). The third part (30) is so configured that: the first portion (31a) is bypassed by the second flange (2b′) when the second capsule (2b) is guided to inbetween the first and second parts (10, 20) in the transfer position; and the second portion (31b) is bypassed by the first flange (2a′) when the first capsule (2a) is guided to inbetween the first and second parts (10, 20) in the transfer position. |
