Capsule for preparing a beverage by centrifugation in a beverage preparation device and device adapted therefore

A method for using a capsule in a beverage production device wherein the capsule is centrifuged in the device for preparing a beverage from a substance contained in the capsule by introducing liquid in the capsule and passing liquid through the substance using centrifugal forces for producing the beverage which is centrifuged peripherally in the capsule relatively to a central axis of the capsule corresponding to an axis of rotation during the centrifuging operation, the capsule comprising:

• an enclosure containing an amount of beverage substance,
• a cup-like shaped body comprising a sidewall,
• an upper outer wall for closing the body,
• wherein the capsule comprises a flange-like rim extending outwardly from the body which comprises an annular raising portion forming a force-setting means of a valve means and a restriction for the centrifuged liquid flowpath by the engagement of said portion with a pressing surface of the beverage production device,
• wherein the annular raising portion extends in a direction opposite to the bottom of the body,
• wherein the capsule comprises a relatively flat annular inward portion of the rim merging, at one end, to the annular raising portion extending of a certain height therefrom, and, at its other end, to the sidewall of the body.
