An apparatus for preparing a solution from an active substance and a solvent and supplying the solution to a beverage preparation machine, such as a coffee machine, includes a dissolving chamber for receiving the active substance, a supply element for supplying a quantity of the active substance to the chamber and a liquid line system coupled to the chamber and having a solvent line, which is connectable to a solvent supply for supplying the solvent. A discharge line is connected to the chamber and is connectable to the beverage preparation machine. To achieve a complete dissolution and an optimum concentration of the active substance in the solvent with a homogeneous concentration distribution over the volume of the solution, the apparatus has a piston unit which contains a first piston that can be introduced into the chamber, a second piston and a connecting line arranged between the first and second pistons.
