A method of manufacturing a pad comprising an extractable product for preparing a beverage suitable for consumption accommodated in an inner chamber between a first covering and a second covering, wherein the pad is conceived to be received in an apparatus arranged for preparing the beverage for intercepting a flow of fluid having supra-atmospheric pressure, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first covering;
- providing a second covering attached to the first covering;
- providing the extractable product in the inner chamber formed between the first covering and the second covering, wherein the first covering is conceived to conduct the fluid into the inner chamber for interacting with the extractable product for preparing the beverage and the second covering is conceived to conduct the beverage away from the inner chamber;
- selecting for the first covering to be a partially transparent material for enabling visual inspection of the extractable product.
