A packaging system for a multi-component product preparation process, having: a first container for storing a first product preparation component, a second container for storing at least one second product preparation component, and a closure element which seals off the first container from the surroundings and has a coupling device in order to couple the second container to the closure element and in order to establish a fluidic connection between the first container and the second container. The closure element includes a closure cap which can be separated from the closure element along a predetermined breaking point in order to release the fluidic connection between the first container and the second container, wherein the closure cap can be coupled to the second container—so as to be blocked in a rotational direction about an axis of the closure element and movable in a direction parallel to the axis.

Packaging system and method for multi-component product preparation processes

A cartridge for obtaining a beverage by injecting into the cartridge a pressurized fluid, comprising a box-like body, which accommodates a substance from which it is possible to extract the beverage, and which accommodates on its inside an insert which separates the substance from a bottom wall of the box-like body, forming an interspace. The insert comprises an orifice for the passage of the beverage toward the interspace, whereas the bottom wall comprises a region which can be pierced to obtain an opening for the outflow of the beverage. In the interspace there is a basin which is arranged laterally with respect to the pierceable region in order to accumulate the beverage received directly from the orifice and make it flow out of the opening by overflowing.
