Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018015109A1] The invention relates to a capsule (1) for preparing a beverage, comprising a preferably rotation-symmetrically designed capsule body (2), which delimits a substance chamber (3), in whole or in part, for receiving at least one substance (4), a preferably centrally arranged outlet port (5) having an outlet opening (6) and a lid (8) for sealing the substance chamber (3). A liquid can be introduced into the substance chamber (3) and discharged through the outlet opening (6). A slit valve (14), which opens under a rising liquid pressure in the substance chamber (3), is arranged between the substance chamber (3) and the outlet port (5), such that the slit valve (14) opens directly into the outlet port (5) and produces a beverage stream.
