A method for preparing a short coffee extract from a capsule containing coffee powder. The method includes providing a capsule containing contains between 5.0 and 8.5 gram of ground coffee powder, injecting liquid into the capsule to interact with the coffee powder, and centrifuging the capsule in a beverage producing device to force, by the effect of centrifugal forces, the liquid coffee extract out of the capsule so that it can be collected and dispensed. The extraction of the liquid coffee extract is preferably obtained by rotating the capsule within a speed range of 2500 to 7500 rpm.

Method for delivering a coffee beverage by centrifugation in a beverage producing device

A sealed capsule contains a beverage ingredient in powder form, in particular, ground coffee. The capsule comprises a base body () and a foil member () tightly attached to the base body (), the foil member () being made from a material allowing the production of a multitude of perforations in the foil member () when the foil member () is thrust, via the pressure caused by injecting a liquid or a liquid/gas mix into the capsule, against a relief plate of a beverage production machine, wherein the capsule is provided with a flow control porous member (), the flow control porous member () being positioned between at least a portion of ingredients () and the foil member (). The flow control porous member provides a faster and more consistent flow of the liquid extract through the capsule and significantly reduces the resurgence of non-soluble solids.
