Patent ID: 8409646

Claim:
A single-use capsule configured for preparing a food liquid from a food substance contained in the capsule by introducing water in the capsule and passing water through the substance using centrifugal forces for producing the food liquid which is centrifuged peripherally in the capsule relatively to a central axis of the capsule corresponding to an axis of rotation during the centrifuging operation comprising: an enclosure delimited by a bottom wall, a widening sidewall arranged about the central axis and a lid forming a transversal upper wall, and containing therein a predetermined amount of food substance, wherein the upper wall comprises an inlet port located at the central axis, and a plurality of outlet openings for enabling the food liquid to leave the enclosure under the centrifugal forces exerted in the capsule during centrifugation, with the outlet openings being present on the upper wall near its periphery and located closer to the sidewall than to the central axis, with the upper wall being substantially devoid of any openings between the outlet openings and the inlet port, and the bottom wall being also devoid of any openings.
