A capsule system for producing a beverage, the capsule system comprising:

• a housing at least partially surrounding an inner region of the capsule system;
• a receiving unit configured to receive a capsule for producing a beverage;
• a conveyor having a conveying carriage and one or more actuators, said conveyor being configured to convey a capsule received by said receiving unit to a processing position in the inner region of the capsule system;
• wherein said one or move actuators are configured to guide said conveying carriage from an extended state into a retracted state;
• wherein said receiving unit is arranged on said conveying carriage such that, in the extended state, said receiving unit is located outside the housing of the capsule system in order to receive a capsule and, in the retracted state, said receiving unit is located at the processing position;
• a processing device configured to open a capsule at the processing position in order to produce a beverage from ingredients contained in the capsule;
• a dispensing unit for providing a beverage produced from a capsule;
• and
• a control unit which is configured:
• to cause said conveying carriage to move from the extended state into the retracted state in order to convey a first capsule to the processing position;
• and
