Abstract:
Beverage device (1) comprising an upper sub-assembly (2) comprising a brewing interface head (4) and a lower sub-assembly (3) comprising a capsule receiver (5) for being engaged by the brewing interface head (4) between a capsule handling position and a closure head position, wherein the upper sub-assembly (2) is hinged on the lower sub-assembly (3) to be pivotally movable between said two positions and the brewing interface head (4) comprises a frame (7) and a brewing interface member (8); said interface member (8) being arranged to be movable relative to the frame (7) between a disengaging-to-capsule position and an engaging-to-capsule position, wherein it further comprises latch means (9), associated to the brewing interface head (4) and the capsule receiver (5), which are arranged for latching the brewing interface head (4) to the receiver (5) in the closure head position. The device can also be designed for centrifugal beverage extraction with an improved control of the alignment of the rotational parts of the brewing head with the capsule receiver.
