The present invention concerns an adapting device (6) for adapting a capsule (100) into the capsule holder (7) of a food machine when said capsule or pod (100) is smaller than capsules or pods originally designed for insertion into said capsule holder, said machine comprising a fluid injection element (11) for circulating a fluid through the capsule to a discharge opening, said capsule comprising a body enclosing a food ingredient to be dissolved and/or extracted so as to produce a food product, and further comprising circumferential edges (4, 22), said device comprising: a holding portion for holding at least a portion of said capsule, and sealing means (16, 17, 32) for circumferentially adapting to the capsule holder and/or to the fluid injection element, and/or to the capsule outside surface, in a leak-tight manner so that the fluid flow is directed solely from the fluid injection element (11) through the capsule, to a discharge opening.
