Abstract
An apparatus for preparing a beverage comprises a decoction device () which comprises a decoction body () with a chamber Avail () inside which a decoction chamber () extends axially between a pair of bottoms () lying opposite each other. The chamber wall is provided locally with a filling opening () for admitting into the decoction chamber at least one ingredient for the beverage to be prepared. The decoction device is coupled to drive means which during operation impart a preparation cycle to the decoction device. A first bottom () moves closer to a second bottom () here in a first direction from a first starting position. Between a second and a third state the decoction body () performs a displacement in the first direction in order to carry the inlet opening () outside the decoction chamber. In a third ejecting state the first bottom lies outside the decoction body.
