A brewing device for producing a beverage from a single-serve pod; wherein the single-serve pod comprises a casing formed of two sheets of plastic and/or aluminium and/or paper mutually coupled to form a central body containing a brewable material, and an external annular flange extending all around, and seals, the central body; the brewing device comprises: two functional assemblies (7, 8) defining respective brewing half-chambers (20, 19) and mutually movable along a longitudinal axis between an open configuration, in which they mutually define a space for loading a pod, and a closed configuration, in which the two brewing half-chambers (20, 19) mutually define a brewing chamber for the pod; one of said functional assemblies (7, 8) is a water injection assembly and the other is a beverage extraction assembly; and a pod support device rotatably mounted about a fixed axis transverse to the longitudinal axis to move between a pod retention position, in which the pod support device is capable to receive a pod and support the pod by itself in a loading position between the two functional assemblies (7, 8) in said open configuration, and a disengagement position in which the pod support device is moved aside relative to the functional assemblies (7, 8) after having delivered the pod to the functional assemblies (7, 8); characterised in that a path of the pod support device from the pod retention position to the disengagement position during the rotation about the fixed axis is so designed as to cause the pod support device to insert and leave the pod in the brewing half-chamber (20; 19) of one of said functional assemblies (7; 8). wherein the single-serve pod comprises a casing formed of two sheets of plastic and/or aluminium and/or paper mutually coupled to form a central body containing a brewable material, and an external annular flange extending all around, and seals, the central body; the brewing device comprises: two functional assemblies (7, 8) defining respective brewing half-chambers (20, 19) and mutually movable along a longitudinal axis between an open configuration, in which they mutually define a space for loading a pod, and a closed configuration, in which the two brewing half-chambers (20, 19) mutually define a brewing chamber for the pod; one of said functional assemblies (7, 8) is a water injection assembly and the other is a beverage extraction assembly; and a pod support device rotatably mounted about a fixed axis transverse to the longitudinal axis to move between a pod retention position, in which the pod support device is capable to receive a pod and support the pod by itself in a loading position between the two functional assemblies (7, 8) in said open configuration, and a disengagement position in which the pod support device is moved aside relative to the functional assemblies (7, 8) after having delivered the pod to the functional assemblies (7, 8); characterised in that a path of the pod support device from the pod retention position to the disengagement position during the rotation about the fixed axis is so designed as to cause the pod support device to insert and leave the pod in the brewing half-chamber (20; 19) of one of said functional assemblies (7; 8). two functional assemblies (7, 8) defining respective brewing half-chambers (20, 19) and mutually movable along a longitudinal axis between an open configuration, in which they mutually define a space for loading a pod, and a closed configuration, in which the two brewing half-chambers (20, 19) mutually define a brewing chamber for the pod; one of said functional assemblies (7, 8) is a water injection assembly and the other is a beverage extraction assembly; and a pod support device rotatably mounted about a fixed axis transverse to the longitudinal axis to move between a pod retention position, in which the pod support device is capable to receive a pod and support the pod by itself in a loading position between the two functional assemblies (7, 8) in said open configuration, and a disengagement position in which the pod support device is moved aside relative to the functional assemblies (7, 8) after having delivered the pod to the functional assemblies (7, 8); characterised in that a path of the pod support device from the pod retention position to the disengagement position during the rotation about the fixed axis is so designed as to cause the pod support device to insert and leave the pod in the brewing half-chamber (20; 19) of one of said functional assemblies (7; 8).
