A method for preparing a beverage suitable for human consumption and having a fine-bubble form a layer including delivering the beverage under pressure with at least one nozzle which is in fluid communication with the beverage unit for supplying the beverage to the nozzle such that the nozzle can generate a jet of beverage. The method further using a receiving unit into which the jet is directed for obtaining the beverage with the fine-bubble foam layer, said receiving unit being provided with a chamber with at least one drain opening for delivering the beverage with the fine-bubble foam layer and a jet impact member accommodated in said chamber and having a top that lies free from an inner wall of said chamber. The nozzle and the jet impact member are mutually oriented such that the jet hits against a portion of the top of the jet impact member, so that the jet after hitting against the jet impact member forms a mist of the beverage. The beverage with the fine-bubble foam layer subsequently leaves the drain opening. The method further involved use of a device constructed such that air can only be supplied to the chamber through the at least one drain opening and/or through an air supply channel which extends through the jet impact member into the chamber.

1. A method of preparing a beverage suitable for human consumption with a fine-bubble foam layer, the method comprising acts of: supplying a liquid jet of the beverage to a receiving unit such that the jet enters the receiving unit under pressure for obtaining the beverage with the fine-bubble foam layer, the receiving unit having a chamber with at least one drain opening for delivering the beverage with the fine-bubble foam layer and a jet impact member accommodated in the chamber and having a top which lies free from an inner wall of the chamber, wherein the jet is directed to hit a portion of the top of the jet impact member, with the beverage leaving the chamber through the at least one drain opening as the beverage having the fine-bubble foam layer; andsupplying air to the chamber exclusively through the at least one drain opening and/or through an air supply channel which extends through the jet impact member into the chamber. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the chamber has a product feed opening through which the jet is fed to the chamber. 3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the jet is generated by means of a nozzle. 4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the product feed opening is formed by the nozzle. 5. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein a space within the chamber between the nozzle and the jet impact member is free from restrictions that hamper a flow of the beverage between the nozzle and the jet impact member. 6. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the top is at least substantially directed towards the nozzle. 7. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the top and the nozzle are mutually positioned such that a line perpendicular to at least the center of the surface of the top is at least substantially directed towards the nozzle. 8. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the top and the nozzle are mutually positioned such that a line perpendicular to a surface of the top in a location where the jet hits the top is directed at least substantially towards the nozzle. 9. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the top of the jet impact member is located between the product feed opening and the drain opening. 10. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the top is directed towards the product feed opening. 11. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the top and the product feed opening are mutually positioned such that a line perpendicular to at least substantially the center of the surface of the top is directed at least substantially towards the product feed opening. 12. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the top and the product feed opening are mutually positioned such that a line perpendicular to a surface of the top in a location where the jet hits the top is directed at least substantially towards the product feed opening. 13. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the jet and the top are mutually aligned such that a line perpendicular to a surface of the top in a location where the jet hits the top is directed at least substantially parallel to the jet. 14. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the jet and the top are mutually aligned such that a line perpendicular to at least substantially the center of the surface of the top is directed at least substantially parallel to the jet. 15. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a surface of the top is concave, convex, or planar in shape. 16. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the top is located at least substantially in a center of the chamber, as viewed in a plane transverse to the jet. 17. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the top is located at least substantially on a central axis of the chamber. 18. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the jet impact member is positioned in a chamber such that an axial direction of the jet impact member extends in a longitudinal direction of the chamber. 19. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the inner wall of the chamber is at least substantially rotationally symmetrical in shape. 20. The method as claimed in claim 19, wherein the inner wall of the chamber is at least substantially rotationally symmetrical about an axis of rotation which extends in the longitudinal direction of the chamber. 21. The method as claimed in claim 20, wherein the axis of rotation extends through the top. 22. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the inner wall of the chamber is at least partly cylindrical in shape. 23. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the jet impact member is connected to the chamber by means of at least one lateral arm. 24. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a holder is used in which a product to be extracted and/or to be dissolved, is accommodated, and hot water is supplied to the holder to obtain the beverage. 25. The method as claimed in claim 24, wherein the chamber is connected to the holder. 26. The method as claimed in claim 25, wherein the jet impact member is also connected to the holder. 27. The method as claimed in claim 25, wherein the jet impact member is not directly connected to the holder. 28. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the chamber and the nozzle are integrated with the holder. 29. The method as claimed in claim 26, wherein the jet impact member is also integrated with the holder. 30. The method as claimed in 3, wherein a holder is used in which a product to be extracted and/or to be dissolved, is accommodated, and hot water is supplied to the holder so as to obtain the beverage, wherein the jet, after hitting against the jet impact member, forms a mist of the beverage which flows against and/or along the inner wall of the chamber and subsequently leaves the chamber through the at least one drain opening in the form of the beverage with the fine-bubble foam layer. 31. A method of preparing a beverage suitable for human consumption with a fine-bubble foam layer using a receiving unit having a chamber with at least one drain opening and a jet impact member accommodated in the chamber, the method comprising acts of: supplying a liquid jet of the beverage to the receiving unit such that the jet enters the receiving unit under pressure and hits a top portion of the jet impact member for forming the beverage with the fine-bubble foam layer and leaving the chamber through the at least one drain opening; andsupplying air to the chamber exclusively through the at least one drain opening and/or through an air supply channel which extends through the jet impact member into the chamber.
