Machine and method for producing beverages by means of single serving capsules

A method for producing a beverage, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a beverage producing machine that comprises a brewing chamber configured to receive a single serving capsule to provide an orientation of the single serving capsule with the capsule axis in the brewing chamber in a non-vertical position;
• a moveable closure for closing the brewing chamber with the single serving capsule inserted therein;
• a duct for supplying water to the brewing chamber;
• a controllable water feed pump configured to supply pressurized water to the duct for supplying water to the brewing chamber;
• a rotation device, adapted to rotate the capsule with the capsule in the brewing chamber;
• and a control device operatively connected to the controllable water feed pump and operatively connected to the rotation device;
• providing a single serving capsule that defines a capsule space configured to contain one or more beverage ingredients, wherein the capsule space is delimited at least partially by a front wall and a back wall spaced a distance from one another along a capsule axis;
• inserting the single serving capsule into the brewing chamber that provides the orientation of the single serving capsule with the capsule axis in the brewing chamber in a non-vertical position with the single serving capsule in a first angular position around the capsule axis relative to the brewing chamber;
• closing the brewing chamber with the single serving capsule inserted therein;
• pressurizing water with the controllable water feed pump to supply pressurized water to the single serving capsule;
• feeding water, pressurized by the controllable water feed pump, into the single serving capsule with the single serving capsule in the first angular position around the capsule axis of rotational symmetry and dispensing a first amount of beverage from the single serving capsule in the first angular position around the capsule axis of rotational symmetry;
• rotating the single serving capsule from the first angular position around the capsule axis to a second angular position around the capsule axis with the single serving capsule in the brewing chamber;
• and
• feeding water, pressurized by the controllable water feed pump, into the single serving capsule with the single serving capsule in the second angular position around the capsule axis of rotational symmetry and dispensing a second amount of beverage from the single serving capsule with the single serving capsule in the second angular position around the capsule axis of rotational symmetry.
