16. A device for the extraction of a capsule comprising:
-
a first fixed part; a second movable part that can be moved relative to the first fixed part; a housing for a capsule and defining, in a closed position of the second movable part against the first fixed part, an extraction position of the capsule along an axis in the housing; an insertion and positioning part comprising means for guiding the capsule arranged so as to insert the capsule by gravity and to position the capsule in an intermediate position; a drink pouring system; and the second movable part is so constructed and arranged to move the capsule from the intermediate position into the extraction position when the device is closed, wherein the means for guiding comprises stopping means configured to keep the capsule in the intermediate position along an axis that is substantially coaxial to the axis of the housing, and wherein the second movable part is configured to force the capsule to move past the stopping means when the capsule travels from the intermediate position to the extraction position. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

25. A coffee machine comprising:
-
a capsule extraction device comprising a first fixed part, a second movable part that can be moved relative to the first fixed part, a housing for a capsule and defining, in a closed position of the second movable part against the first fixed part, an extraction position of the capsule along an axis in said housing, an insertion and positioning part comprising means for guiding the capsule arranged so as to insert the capsule by gravity and position said capsule in an intermediate position, a drink pouring system, and the second movable part is so arranged and constructed to move the capsule from the intermediate position into the extraction position when the device is closed;
a water tank;
a water pipe;
a pump for moving the water;
means of heating the water and a water intake in the second movable part of the device,wherein the means for guiding comprises stopping means configured to keep the capsule in the intermediate position along an axis that is substantially coaxial to the axis of the housing, and wherein the second movable part is configured to force the capsule to move past the stopping means when the capsule travels from the intermediate position to the extraction position.
