Abstract:
1. A device for preparing a beverage from a substance, which is contained in a capsule with a circumferential collar, using a liquid, comprising two chamber parts which can be pressed against one another in a sealing manner for the purpose of receiving the capsule and which can be moved relative to one another between an open device and a closed device, the capsule being holdable in an intermediate position between the chamber parts by means of a positioning unit in the open position device and the liquid being passable through the capsule in the closed device, and wherein the positioning unit has two guide sections, which are shaped differently and situated opposite one another on a insertion plane, for guiding the capsule at sections of the collar which are situated diametrically opposite one another and for holding the capsule in the intermediate position, wherein one guide section is in the form of an articulation guide and the opposite guide section is in the form of a release guide, with the release guide having a recess which is shaped so that the capsule can be rotated about the articulation guide out of the intermediate position and can be released from the release guide, with the capsule being freed from the release position in a first movement phase and from the articulation guide in a second movement phase as a result of being acted on by one of the chamber parts before the device is closed.
