Abstract

A cartridge for preparing a flavoured drink comprises an infusion chamber for containing flavouring materials and infusing a liquid with flavouring substances. A passage in the chamber wall allows liquid exchange between the infusion chamber and its exterior. A flow drive system drives a liquid flow between the infusion chamber and its exterior through the passage in a flow direction which projects from the chamber wall. The cartridge may have an outer wall which is movable to cover and close the passage. A manual control may be used to open or close the passage. The manual control may have a cover covering a top-side of the chamber wall and interlocking with the chamber wall. The cover may include a cup-shaped grip partitioned in first and second upwards open parts, for admitting respective finger(s) of the user. A partitioning wall may separate the parts and allow exertion of a rotational force.
