The invention relates to a magazine unit for fitting a brewing device with a portion capsule. The magazine has a storage magazine for storing portion capsules, said portion capsules being stacked one after the other in a stacking direction, and the magazine unit has a transporting means for transporting a portion capsule out of the storage magazine into the brewing device. The transporting means can be pivoted about a pivot axis between a removal position for removing the portion capsule from the storage magazine and a dispensing position for fitting the brewing device with the portion capsule, said pivot axis being perpendicular to the stacking direction.
