Abstract:
The invention concerns beverage production system comprising a capsule (10) and a module (1) for producing a beverage from the capsule, the capsule (10) comprising an enclosure (10a) and a rim (10b), and the module (2) comprising a first capsule engagement member (3), which can be displaced relative to a second, co-operating capsule engagement member (2d) between a capsule discharge position and a beverage production position, and the displaceable first capsule engagement member (3) comprises holding means configured for holding the capsule within, the module comprising at least two means (7, 7a, 7b) for engaging the rim of the capsule extending beyond the first capsule engagement member when the first capsule engagement member (3) is displaced from the beverage production position to its capsule discharge position, and wherein the holding means are discrete hooks (341, 342) configured to engage with the rim (10b) of the capsule, and the retaining means are configured so that, during the displacement of the first capsule engagement member (3) from the beverage production position to its capsule discharge position, one (7b) of the two engaging means engages the rim of the capsule before the other engaging mean (7a).
