A brewing module for an extraction appliance has a first brewing-module part and a second brewing-module part, which can be moved relative to the first. The first and second brewing-module parts form a discharging device for discharging an extraction product out of a capsule, containing extraction substance for the preparation of brewed beverages, and an injector for introducing an extraction liquid into the capsule. The first brewing-module part has a head with a lateral guide, which defines first and second tracks for a capsule collar. The first brewing-module part also forms a rest delimiting movement of the capsule in the downward direction when the capsule collar is located on the first track. The lateral guide is connected rigidly to the head, and the second brewing-module part has a restoring device, which acts on the capsule collar and moves the collar into the second track when the brewing chamber is opened.
A brewing module for an extraction appliance, comprising a first brewing module part and a second brewing module part, said first and second brewing module parts being movable relative to one another and cooperating to define a brewing chamber, wherein one of the first and second brewing module parts forms a discharge device to discharge an extraction product out of a capsule with extraction material for preparation of brewed drinks, and the other one of the first and second brewing module parts forms an injector for introducing an extraction fluid into the capsule, wherein the first brewing module part comprises a head with a lateral guide that defines a first track for a capsule collar and a second track for the capsule collar, said first track being spaced a distance from said second track, wherein the first brewing module part also forms a rest that is aligned with the first track and limits a downwards movement of the capsule when the capsule collar is disposed in the first track, wherein the lateral guide is connected to the head, and wherein the second brewing module part comprises a retrieval device that is designed to engage the capsule collar, the retrieval device comprising a catch portion designed to engage on the capsule collar to pull the capsule collar away from the first brewing module part into the second track during opening of the brewing chamber.
