Abstract

A capsule for holding ingredients for the production of a beverage has a capsule body, which is at least partly covered on a top side of the capsule by a cover and which surrounds a first chamber for holding a first ingredient. In addition, the capsule has a chamber wall, which surrounds a channel-shaped cavity, which extends from the top side of the capsule to a bottom side of the capsule. The capsule further has a valve element, with which a first outlet opening of the first chamber can be opened at the chamber wall by a rod inserted into the cavity from the top side of the capsule, so that the ingredients can flow from the first chamber via the cavity and out of the capsule at the bottom side of the capsule.
