Abstract
A method for preparing a food liquid from a food substance contained in a single-use capsule. The method includes passing water through the substance, driving the capsule in centrifugal rotation while introducing water into the center of capsule, passing water through the substance to form a food liquid, and piercing at least one liquid delivery outlet in the capsule at least partially by the effect of the pressure rising in the capsule as a result of the centrifugation.

A liquid food preparation system for preparing a liquid food from a food substance comprising a device and a capsule removably insertable in the device by passing water through the substance in the capsule, which method comprises:
- a capsule holder for holding the capsule in the device,
- a water injection head for injecting water in the capsule,
- a water injector, as part of the water injection head, arranged for introducing water in the capsule, and
- means for driving the capsule in centrifugation,
- wherein the opening means are configured relative to the capsule in the device to create at least one liquid delivery outlet in the capsule in response to the centrifugal forces of the liquid exerted in the capsule.
