Abstract
A device for producing a brewed beverage comprises a brewing chamber which has an inlet for hot water and an outlet, the outlet being coupled to a closing element by which the outlet can be opened or closed. The brewing chamber has a lateral opening on which a capsule containing an extraction material can be placed in a sealed manner in order to produce a fluid connection between an interior of the capsule and an interior of the brewing chamber. An edge of the lateral opening forms a plane that is oriented at an angle to a vertical plane.

A device for producing a brewed beverage, comprising:
- a brewing chamber having an inlet for hot water and an outlet, the outlet being arranged to be coupled to a closure element by which the outlet can be opened or closed, wherein the brewing chamber has a lateral opening surrounded by an edge for sealing against a capsule with an extraction material arranged in a brewing position laterally of and outside the brewing chamber in order to produce a fluid connection between an interior of the capsule and an interior of the brewing chamber, wherein the edge of the lateral opening of the brewing chamber is in a plane which is inclined at an angle α that is between 5° and 45° to a vertical plane that is at a 90° angle with respect to a flat surface on which the device rests;
- and
- a shaft arranged for supplying the capsule to the lateral opening of the brewing chamber, wherein the shaft is inclined to the vertical plane at substantially the same angle α as the edge of the lateral opening.
