A method for producing a liquid extract from food ingredients in a beverage producing device that has a brewing unit driven in centrifugation. The method includes providing food ingredients in the brewing unit, supplying heated liquid in the brewing unit, centrifuging the brewing unit thereby generating centrifugal forces forcing liquid to flow through the food ingredients, and dispensing the liquid, along with an operation for compensating the thermal losses of the liquid extract in the brewing unit or the collecting unit.

1. A beverage production device for preparing a liquid extract by interaction between a liquid and food ingredients to form the liquid extract by centrifugation of the liquid passing through the ingredients, comprising: a centrifugal brewing unit for receiving the food ingredients,a collecting unit
1. A beverage production device for preparing a liquid extract by interaction between a liquid and food ingredients to form the liquid extract by centrifugation of the liquid passing through the ingredients, comprising: a centrifugal brewing unit for receiving the food ingredients,a collecting unit for collecting the liquid extract centrifuged outside the centrifugal brewing unit, with the collecting unit having an impact wall forming a surface of impact for the centrifuged liquid extract and a receiving cavity which is a member that is separate from and is located below the impact wall for receiving the liquid extract impacted on the impact wall,driving means connected to the centrifugal brewing unit for driving the centrifugal brewing unit in rotation,liquid supply means being connected to the centrifugal brewing unit to supply liquid in the centrifugal brewing unit,a heater for heating the liquid supplied in the centrifugal brewing unit to a brewing temperature, andadditional heating means arranged to heat the liquid extract;wherein the additional heating means is separated from the heater and includes a heating element that is (a) in contact with the receiving cavity or (b) is a thermoblock located below the impact wall and below but in thermal association with the receiving cavity, wherein the heating element of (a) or (b) provides heat to the extract in the receiving cavity after its formation and collection without heating the impact wall, so that the liquid extract leaving the centrifugal brewing unit has a temperature that is near the temperature of the liquid supplied to the centrifugal brewing unit. 2. The beverage production device according to claim 1, wherein the additional heating means comprises any one or a combination of convection heating elements, radiant heating elements or conduction heating elements. 3. The beverage production device according to claim 2, wherein the additional heating means comprises an electrical resistance, a thick film, a hot air blower, a heat exchanger, a steam generator, an induction coil, an infrared heater, or any combination of the foregoing. 4. The beverage production device according to claim 1, wherein the brewing unit comprises a rotating drum and a lid at least partially closing the rotating drum wherein at least one of the rotating drum or lid is thermally associated with the additional heating means. 5. The beverage production device according to claim 1, wherein the receiving cavity has an annular U-shaped wall and the impact wall is a member that is spaced from and surrounds the centrifugal brewing unit and is situated above the U-shaped wall so that the receiving cavity can receive extract that exits the brewing unit, contacts the impact wall and thereafter falls into the U-shaped wall. 6. A beverage production device for preparing a liquid extract by interaction between a liquid and food ingredients to form the liquid extract by centrifugation of the liquid passing through the food ingredients, comprising: a centrifugal brewing unit for receiving the food ingredients,a collecting unit for collecting the liquid extract centrifuged outside the centrifugal brewing unit,driving means connected to the centrifugal brewing unit for driving the centrifugal brewing unit in rotation,liquid supply means being connected to the centrifugal brewing unit to supply liquid in the centrifugal brewing unit,a heater for heating the liquid supplied to the centrifugal brewing unit to a temperature of between 70 and 95° C., andadditional heating means for heating the extract,wherein the collecting unit comprises an impact wall that is spaced from and surrounds the centrifugal brewing unit forming a surface of impact for the centrifuged liquid extract, a collecting cavity of annular shape and at least one dispensing duct, wherein the collecting cavity and dispensing duct are located below the impact wall for receiving the liquid extract impacted on the impact wall, and wherein the additional heating means includes a heating element that is (a) is in contact with the collecting cavity or the dispensing duct, or (b) is a thermoblock located below the impact wall and below but in thermal association with the collecting cavity or dispensing duct, wherein the heating element of (a) or (b) provides heat to the extract in the collecting cavity or dispensing duct after its formation and collection without heating the impact wall. 7. The beverage production device according to claim 1, wherein the walls of the collecting unit in contact with the liquid extract have a thickness of less than 2 mm. 8. The beverage production device according to claim 1, wherein the collecting unit comprises walls with heat insulating material or heat reflecting material for compensating for a temperature loss in the collecting unit of at least 1 degree Celsius. 9. The beverage production device according to claim 1, wherein the additional heating means is obtained from a heating extension or a derivation of the heater for heating the liquid extract in the receiving cavity. 10. The beverage production device according to claim 6, wherein the additional heating means is independent from the heater for heating the liquid supplied to the centrifugal unit. 11. The beverage production device according to claim 1, wherein the additional heating means forms at least part of a heater for heating the liquid supplied to the centrifugal unit. 12. The beverage production device of claim 1 wherein the heater supplies sufficient heat to the liquid supplied to the centrifugal brewing unit to heat it to a brewing temperature of between 70 and 95° C., and the liquid extract leaving the centrifugal brewing unit has a temperature that is no more than 8 degrees lower than the temperature of the liquid supplied to the centrifugal brewing unit. 13. The beverage production device of claim 1 wherein the impact wall is dissociated from the heater and spaced from the receiving cavity.
