A system and method for dispensing a final fluid product using optimal parameters are disclosed. The dispensing system includes a pumping system and a capsule holder operatively coupled to the pumping system, the capsule holder configured to receive a capsule containing a product to be dissolved, the capsule holder further configured to receive a fluid through the capsule from the pumping system. The capsule holder includes one or more encoding recognition systems configured to interact with encoding means of the capsule, and the encoding recognition systems determine parameters based on the encoding means. The parameters control the pumping system and are used for dispensing of the fluid through the capsule holder and through the capsule to produce the final fluid product by dissolving the product to be dissolved using the parameters. The dispensing system may further use user information to adjust the parameters.

1. A system for dispensing a beverage, the system comprising: a pumping system; anda capsule holder operatively coupled to the pumping system, the capsule holder configured to receive a capsule containing an ingredient, the capsule holder further configured to receive a fluid through the capsule from the pumping system, said capsule holder including one or more transducers configured to interact with one or more tabs of the capsule, wherein the transducers determine parameters based on the one or more tabs;the parameters are used for dispensing of the fluid through the capsule holder and through the capsule to produce the beverage by dissolving the ingredient using said parameters, wherein said parameters control the pumping system; andwherein the displacement of said transducers be said tabs determines the parameters. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the parameters include at least one of: a temperature of the fluid inside the capsule holder, a pressure of the fluid inside the capsule holder, a volume of the fluid passing through the capsule holder to produce the beverage. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the capsule holder further includes a groove for aligning the capsule, wherein each of the one or more transducers is configured to be aligned with a specific one of the one or more tabs of the capsule. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the beverage has medicinal properties. 5. The system of claim 1 further comprising a heater, wherein the parameters include at least a temperature of the fluid inside the capsule holder, further wherein the heater is configured to produce said temperature of the fluid inside the capsule holder, said temperature being controlled by at least one of said one or more transducers. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the parameters are further adjusted by user information, wherein said user information includes at least one of: age of a target person for said beverage, weight of the target person. 7. The system of claim 1, further comprising a network interface configured for receiving health related information from a monitoring device, the health related information further adjusting the parameters. 8. The system of claim 6 further comprising an input device for receiving said user information, wherein the input device is at least one of: a touch screen, a keyboard, a network interface. 9. A capsule for use in the system of claim 1, said capsule comprising: a recipient including an ingredient; andone or more tabs, wherein the length of the tabs is configured to encode at least one of one or more parameters used to produce a beverage from the ingredient. 10. The capsule of claim 9, wherein the parameters are at least one of: a temperature of the fluid inside the capsule holder, a pressure of the fluid inside the capsule holder, a volume of the fluid passing through the capsule holder to produce the beverage. 11. The capsule of claim 10, wherein the fluid passes through the capsule at the parameters as encoded by the length of the tabs to produce the beverage. 12. The system of claim 7, wherein the network interface is configured to receive the health related information through a wireless connection from a wrist watch adapted to measure said health related information. 13. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more transducers are configured to measure linear displacement. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more transducers are linear variable differential transformers. 15. The system of claim 1 further comprising: a line adapted to feed water from the pumping system to the capsule holder;a water treatment system disposed along the line between the pumping system and the capsule holder, the water treatment system configured to generate a magnetic field in the line;wherein the magnetic field results in at least one of: preventing build up of deposits on a wall of the line, preventing biofilm formation on the wall of the line, reducing precipitation of calcium carbonate scale. 16. The system of claim 1 further comprising a fluid injection system configured to inject a fluid into the capsule, the fluid injection system including a needle adapted to pierce the capsule, wherein the needle is positioned off-centre with respect to a horizontal plane of the capsule and the needle produces a circular swirling flow of the fluid inside the capsule when the capsule receives the fluid from the pumping system through the fluid injection system.
