Claim:
1. A method for brewing a variety of coffee beverages of different volumes having different characteristics of taste, strength and crema using capsules which are centrifuged in a centrifugal brewing device, the method comprising: providing a set of capsules having a body defining different storage volumes and containing an amount of infusible or extractable coffee ingredient that increases as a function of the storage volume of the body in the set, each capsule in the set corresponds to a flow rate or a profile of flow rate of reference and corresponds to a particular volume of injected liquid of reference; selecting a capsule from the set of capsules and centrifuging the capsule in the centrifugal brewing device; and adjusting a flow rate and a volume of injected liquid in the capsule to match the flow rate or the profile of flow rate of reference and the particular volume of the injected liquid of reference as a function of the storage volume of the capsule, the flow rate being controlled by a method selected from the group consisting of varying a rotational speed, varying a back-pressure exerted on a centrifuged liquid by flow restriction means pertaining to at least either the centrifugal brewing device or the capsule or positioned on both the centrifugal brewing device and the capsule, and varying both the rotational speed and the back-pressure exerted on the centrifuged liquid by the flow restriction means pertaining to at least either the centrifugal brewing device or the capsule or positioned on both the centrifugal brewing device and the capsule, and the flow rate is controlled such that the smaller the storage volume of the capsule, the smaller the flow rate.
