An insert (400) for use in a beverage preparation machine (201) of the type that includes an extraction head (250), the extraction head (250) facing upward to supply water to the extraction head (250) An insert (400) comprising an inlet (253) of a lip and a downward outlet (250) for draining the beverage produced by the machine (201). The insert (400) is adapted to contain a quantity of beverage ingredient components in the extraction volume or in use, a quantity of beverage ingredient components in the extraction volume. The underside of the insert (400) communicates with the inlet (253) and outlet (254) of the extraction head (250) of the beverage preparation machine (201), respectively, when the insert (100) is inserted into the machine. The inlet (405) and the outlet (404) located in the outlet, so that, in use, water from the inlet (253) of the extraction head (250) is injected into the inlet (405) of the insert (400). The beverage made from water and a certain amount of beverage ingredients passes downward through the outlet (404) of the insert (100) and passes through the extraction head (250). From the outlet (254). The underside of the insert (400) further includes an RFID or barcode (320) for controlling the operation of the beverage preparation machine (201) that is readable by the RFID or barcode reader of the beverage preparation machine (201) in use. , The bar code (320) or RFID includes a line connecting the discharge port (404) of the insert (400) and the center of the bar code (320) or RFID, and the discharge port (404) and the insert (400 of the insert (400). ) Is positioned on the lower surface of the insert (400) so as to be separated by a minimum angle separation distance of more than 70 degrees. |
