For the production from a liquid food of an at least partially foamed food, in particular at least partially foamed milk or a milk product, the liquid food, which is contained in a container (1) or a capsule-type formation, is expelled from the container or the capsule, and at least partially foamed
For the production from a liquid food of an at least partially foamed food, in particular at least partially foamed milk or a milk product, the liquid food, which is contained in a container (1) or a capsule-type formation, is expelled from the container or the capsule, and at least partially foamed and subsequently expelled by generating an at least partially turbulent flow.

1. An integrally formed capsule for making an at least partially foamed liquid food in a device which removably accepts the capsule for expelling at least partially foamed liquid food out of the capsule, the capsule comprising: at least one area provided for the storage of a liquid food,at least one further area to foam the liquid food, a separation provided between the area and the further area, the separation being at least partially interruptable mechanically or upon pressure on one area, in order to drive the liquid food into the further area for foaming,at least one discharge element on the further area, the discharge element having a discharge opening configured to discharge the foamed food into a container beneath the element without contaminating the any parts of the device coming into contact with the food, andwherein the separation is implemented in such a way that the liquid food is at least partially foamed upon introduction of the liquid food into the further area. 2. The capsule according to claim 1, further comprising means in the further area for setting liquid food introduced into the further area from the area into a turbulent flow in such a way that it foams. 3. The capsule according to claim 2, wherein the means is at least one of funnel-like and cup-shaped, and has at least one of flow screens and impact cams along an inner surface of the means for generating at least one of the turbulent flow and the foaming of the liquid. 4. The capsule according to claim 1, wherein the one area is at least one of easily deformable and compressible and wherein the separation has a discharge opening, which is opened automatically by generating a pressure in the one area. 5. The capsule according to claim 1, wherein the separation includes at least one wall which is displaceable by external pressure or piercable using a nozzle in the area in such a way that an increased pressure may be generated in the area. 6. The capsule according to claim 1, wherein the capsule is at least one of a single-use formation and a disposable article. 7. A method for producing from a liquid food an at least partially foamed food using a capsule according to claim 1, the method comprising holding the liquid food in the one area, expelling the liquid food from the one area into the further area and at least partially foaming the liquid food upon introduction of the liquid food into the further area and subsequently discharging the at least partially foamed liquid food without supplying hot water steam, wherein said foaming includes making an at least partially turbulent flow of the liquid food. 8. The method according to claim 7, including heating the one area of the capsule having the liquid food without supplying steam into the capsule or the liquid food area therein, and subsequently expelling the heated liquid food from the one area into the further area, at least partially foaming the liquid food, and subsequently discharging the at least partially foamed liquid food. 9. The method according to claim 8, including heating the liquid food, in the capsule using microwaves or infrared energy. 10. The method according to claim 7, wherein said expelling is performed by one of compressed air, by impression, and by displacing a wall toward the interior of the capsule to generate excess pressure, and wherein subsequently said foaming is performed in the further area connected to the one area. 11. The method according to claim 10, wherein said further area is a funnel-like or cuplike area, said method including introducing the liquid food expelled from said one area into said further area in such a way that an at least nearly spiral-shaped or circular flow arises, turbulence occurring due to at least one of asymmetrical injection of the liquid food into the further area and interaction of the liquid food with a configuration of at least one of screens and swirling bodies in the further area. 12. The method according to claim 7, wherein said foaming includes spraying the liquid food into a cup-like area in a sharp jet having a tangential component, whereby a rotating liquid layer results, whereby the liquid experiences a first foaming due to a strong turbulence of the incident jet, and a coarse-pored and unstable foam initially arises which is pulverized upon further passages through the liquid jet, by which a desired fine-pored stable foam results. 13. The method according to claim 7, wherein said foaming includes injecting the liquid food into the further area, having different cross-sections in a flow direction of the food to make a turbulent flow, and supplying air from outside the further area in areas of the further area having tapered cross-section to swirl the food. 14. The method according to claim 7, wherein said foaming occurs in the further area using so-called swirl or twist bodies, which are situated so as to be at least one of freely movable and freely rotatable. 15. A configuration for making an at least partially foamed liquid food the configuration comprising: a container provided for the storage of a liquid food ,a device for expelling the liquid out of the container,a flow device in which the expelled liquid is set into an at least partially turbulent flow for at least partially foaming the liquid food, anda discharge element having a discharge opening configured for discharging the at least partially foamed food into a container beneath the element without any parts of the device coming into contact with the food,wherein the container, the flow device, and the discharge element are integrally connected to form a capsule which is removably placeable in the device. 16. The configuration according to claim 15, wherein the flow device is at least one of funnel-like and cup-shaped, and has at least one of flow screens and impact cams along an inner surface of the flow device for generating at least one of the turbulent flow and the foaming of the liquid. 17. The configuration according to claim 15, wherein the device for expelling is a coffee machine which removably accepts the capsule. 18. The configuration according to claim 17, wherein the coffee machine is for at least one of making and discharging portioned coffee, in varying forms of consumption, further comprising a receptacle for at least one of coffee powder and powder in portion form, a heating device for making hot water, a mixing device for mixing the coffee powder with hot water, and a discharge element for discharging the brewed coffee powder, the coffee machine comprises a receptacle for situating the capsule containing liquid milk as the stored liquid food, a heating element is provided for heating the milk,the device for expelling expels the milk out of the container for making an at least partially turbulent flow of the milk in order to foam it or to expel the foam out of the capsule through thedischarge opening of the discharge element.
