Abstract

See full text

The method for preparing a beverage suitable for consumption such as coffee comprises the following steps: a vacuum pack made from a thin-walled and flexible packing sheet is placed in a holder which, in use, tightly encloses the vacuum pack at least partially, the vacuum pack being filled with the granular material and comprising a closing seam interconnecting opposite parts of the packing sheet; a free end of at least one needle-shaped tube is introduced into the inner space of the vacuum pack; and via the needle-shaped tube, a liquid is fed under pressure to the inner space of the vacuum pack, so that under the influence of the liquid pressure in the vacuum pack, this closing seam opens at least partially, with the beverage formed in the vacuum pack flowing out of the vacuum pack via the opening. The invention also relates to an apparatus for performing the method.
