Beverage preparation system, holder adn apparatus

A system for preparing a predetermined amount of a beverage suitable for consumption, the system comprising:

• an exchangeable holder and an apparatus provided with a fluid dispensing device which is detachably connected to the holder for dispensing at least an amount of at least the first fluid such as liquid and/or a gas, in particular such as water and/or steam, under pressure to the exchangeable holder, wherein the at least one inlet opening is detachably connected to an outlet opening of the fluid dispensing device for supplying the first fluid to the first mixing chamber, the holder including:
• at least a first storage space which is filled with a second fluid such as a concentrate,
• at least a first mixing chamber,
• at least one outflow opening which is in fluid communication with the first mixing chamber for dispensing the beverage from the first mixing chamber,
• at least a first fluid communication between the first storage space and the first mixing chamber for dispensing the second fluid to the first mixing chamber,
• at least one inlet opening which, in use, is detachably connected to an outlet opening of the fluid dispensing device for supplying the first fluid to the first mixing chamber,
• a dosing device which is designed for supplying the second fluid in a dosed manner from the first storage space to the first mixing chamber, the fluid dispensing device being designed for supplying the first fluid under pressure to the first mixing chamber so that in the first mixing chamber, the first fluid and the second fluid mix together for obtaining the beverage which then leaves the exchangeable holder via the outflow opening.

An apparatus provided with a fluid dispensing device for dispensing at least a first fluid, such as a gas and/or liquid, under pressure to the exchangeable holder having at least a first storage space which is filled with a second fluid, at least a first mixing chamber, at least a first fluid communication between the first storage space and the first mixing chamber for dispensing the second fluid to the first mixing chamber, a second storage space which is filled with a fourth fluid such as a concentrate, and a second fluid communication between the second storage space and the first mixing chamber for dispensing the fourth fluid to the first mixing chamber, the apparatus comprising:

• a holder receiving portion which is designed for detachably receiving the holder for preparing a beverage suitable for consumption, which holder receiving portion is provided with recesses for receiving at least the first storage space, the second storage space, the first mixing chamber, the first fluid communication and the second fluid communication, which recesses, viewed in cross-sections through a plane parallel to the first wall part of the holder received in the holder receiving portion, have contours which correspond, at least partly to contours of said first mixing chamber, the first storage space, the second storage space, the first fluid communication and the second fluid communication.
