A system, a method and a capsule for preparing a pre-determined quantity of beverage

A method of preparing a predetermined quantity of beverage suitable for consumption using extractable product in a system, the method comprising:

• providing at least one disposable capsule;
• providing an apparatus comprising a fluid dispensing device for supplying an amount of fluid, such as water, to the at least one disposable capsule, a receptacle for accommodating the at least one disposable capsule, and an outlet arrangement for supplying the beverage to a container, such as a cup;
• wherein the at least one disposable capsule is provided with an outer material barrier for enclosing an inner space comprising the extractable product, wherein the material barrier is provided with an entrance area enabling passage of the fluid towards the inner space for interacting with the extractable product for preparing the beverage and an exit area for conducting at least a portion of the beverage away from the capsule;
• and
• wherein the system is further arranged for bringing the dispensing device in fluid communication with the entrance area for supplying the fluid and enabling the exit area to be positioned in a fluid communication with the outlet arrangement, the method comprising the steps of:
• actuating a displaceable body provided in the disposable capsule for causing it to interact with the material barrier for discontinuing at least the exit area thereof for enabling passage of the at least a portion of the beverage away from the capsule.

A method of manufacturing a disposable capsule for preparing a predetermined quantity of beverage suitable for consumption using extractable product, the method comprising:

• forming the disposable capsule with an outer material barrier for enclosing an inner space comprising the extractable product, the material barrier comprising:
• an entrance area enabling passage of a fluid towards the inner space for interacting with the extractable product for preparing the beverage;
• an exit area for conducting at least a portion of the beverage away from the capsule;
• providing a displaceable body in the disposable capsule for causing it in use to interact with the material barrier for discontinuing at least the exit area thereof for enabling passage of the at least a portion of the beverage away from the capsule;
• and
• filling the inner space of the disposable capsule with the extractable product.
