Packaging system and corresponding method for handling a product preparation component

A method for mixing a multi-component product preparation using a packaging system comprising a first container for storing a first product preparation component, a second container for storing at least one second product preparation component, and a closure element which seals off the first container from the environment and has a coupling apparatus in order to couple the second container to the closure element and in order to establish a fluid connection between the first container and the second container,

• wherein the closure element comprises a closure cap which can be separated from the closure element along a predetermined break point, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
• attaching the first container to the second container by means of the closure element by both corresponding threaded portions on the closure element and on the second container being attached to one another in order to be screwed together and the closure cap being coupled to the second container so as to be blocked in a direction of rotation about an axis of the closure element,
• screwing the closure element on the second container via the corresponding threaded portions and simultaneously separating the closure cap which is blocked in the direction of rotation from the closure element at the predetermined break point,
• continuing to screw the closure element on the second container while simultaneously unscrewing the separated closure cap from a counter thread of the first container such that the closure cap falls into the interior of the container,
• mixing the two product components in the first container and/or second container using the open fluid connection between the two containers.
