<p>A container receiving unit (2) for use in an apparatus (1) for preparing a beverage, said container receiving unit comprising a receiving space (3) for receiving a container arranged for holding a beverage base material, a reservoir (7) for containing beverage, a distribution system (8), comprising an inlet (81) connected to said reservoir (7), at least two outlets (82) for dispensing beverage, and a liquid flow path (83), extending from the inlet (81) to the outlets (82), wherein the liquid flow path (83) comprises means (9,91,92) for reducing the speed of beverage flowing from the reservoir (7) to the outlets (82) during operation. The relatively high speed that is generated at an earlier stage of operation in the apparatus is diminished in the distribution system to a level at which the beverage can be distributed evenly over the outlets. In the manner all cups will be provided with an even amount of beverage.</p> |
