Abstract
Method for preparing a food liquid from a food substance contained in a receptacle by passing water through the substance using centrifugal forces comprising:
- driving the receptacle in centrifugal rotation while introducing water in the capsule,
- passing water through the substance to form a food liquid,
- collecting the centrifuged food liquid,
- wherein the receptacle is a single-use capsule and,
- a flow restriction means is arranged within the flow path of the centrifuged liquid.

36. A system for preparing a food liquid from a food substance contained in a single-use receptacle by passing water through the substance using centrifugal forces and passing the centrifuged food liquid along a flow path, the device comprising:
-
a device for removably receiving the receptacle, the device comprising means for centrifugally rotating the receptacle around an axis of rotation (I), and flow restriction means arranged in the flow path of the centrifuged food liquid for providing a pressure drop of at least 0.5 bar of relative pressure during centrifugation. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)

45. A liquid food preparation device for preparing a liquid food from a food substance contained in a single-use, removably insertable capsule in the device, by passing water through the substance using centrifugal forces and passing the centrifuged food liquid along a flow path, the device comprising:
-
water injection means for introducing water in the capsule, means for positioning and centering the receptacle along an axis of rotation (I) of the device, means for centrifugally rotating the capsule around the axis of rotation (I), and flow restriction means arranged in the flow path of the centrifuged food liquid for providing a pressure drop of at least 0.5 bar of relative pressure during centrifugation. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53)
