• a preparation element which is attached to the actuation rod inside the vessel;
• a grip element which is attached to the actuation rod outside the vessel and which, together with the actuation rod, is movable between a lower position close to the lid and an upper position remote from the lid, and
• a closure which is connected in a movable manner to the lid and which is pivotable with respect to the lid between a closed position in which the removal opening is closed and a retaining position in which the removal opening is open about a horizontal pivot axis which runs transverse to the longitudinal axis,
• wherein the grip element is fixed in its lower position in the retaining position of the closure,
• wherein at least a first latching structure is formed on the closure in order to latch the closure to the lid in a releasable manner in the retaining position,
• wherein the closure has a closure body for closing the removal opening,
• wherein the closure has two arms which are guided from the closure body past the passage opening on both sides and of which the free ends are connected to the lid in a pivotable manner in the region of the pivot axis, and
• wherein the pivot axis is at a greater distance from the removal opening than the longitudinal axis.
