A system, device and method for the brewing of a capsule. The device comprises a first chamber portion and a second chamber portion movable with respect to each other to be moved between an open position and a closed position. The device further comprises a capsule handler arranged to enable insertion therein of the capsule and to position said capsule in a brewing position, wherein the capsule handler retains the capsule in the brewing position when the capsule handler is in a ready position. When the first chamber portion and the second chamber portion are moved with respect to each other from the closed position to the open position, the capsule can fall freely from the brewing position under the influence of gravity when the capsule handler is in an ejection position.

1. A system for the preparation of a beverage using a capsule, the system comprising a beverage preparation device and a capsule, wherein the device comprises: a first chamber portion defining a receptacle; anda second chamber portion;wherein the first chamber portion is movable relative to the second chamber portion between an open position and a closed position, wherein in the open position the capsule can be inserted between the first chamber portion and the second chamber portion, and wherein in the closed position the capsule is in a brewing position and received in the receptacle;a capsule handler arranged to enable insertion therein of the capsule and to position said capsule in the brewing position, the capsule handler comprising guide means for guiding the capsule to the brewing position, the guide means including a first groove and a second groove together defining a guiding direction and arranged for engaging a guiding edge of the capsule;wherein the capsule handler is movable between a ready position and an ejection position;wherein the capsule handler holds the capsule in the brewing position when the capsule handler is in the ready position, wherein when the capsule is in the brewing position, the capsule handler is movable between the ready position and the ejection position in a direction substantially parallel to the guiding direction of the grooves, and wherein when the first chamber portion is moved relative to the second chamber from the closed position to the open position, the capsule can fall freely from the brewing position under the influence of gravity when the capsule handler is in the ejection position. 2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the capsule handler comprises retaining means for retaining the capsule in the capsule handler when the capsule handler is in the ready position. 3. The system according to claim 2, wherein the retaining means comprises a first protrusion located in the first groove and a second protrusion located in the second groove, the first protrusion and second protrusion are configured to prevent the capsule from sliding out of the first and second grooves. 4. The system according to claim 3, wherein the capsule comprises a rim, wherein the capsule is held in the capsule handler at its rim by the first groove, the first protrusion, the second groove, and the second protrusion. 5. The system according to claim 4, wherein the first protrusion is located symmetrically opposite to the second protrusion. 6. The system according to claim 1, wherein the guide means are arranged for engaging the capsule both when the capsule handler is in the ready position and in the ejection position. 7. The system according to claim 1, wherein the capsule handler is movable with respect to the first chamber portion and the second chamber portion. 8. The system according to claim 1, wherein the capsule handler is immobile in a direction of movement of the first chamber portion. 9. A beverage preparation device for the preparation of a beverage using a capsule, the beverage preparation device comprising: a first chamber portion defining a receptacle; anda second chamber portion,wherein the first chamber portion is movable relative to the second chamber portion between an open position and a closed position, wherein in the open position the capsule can be inserted between the first chamber portion and the second chamber portion, and wherein in the closed position of the first chamber portion and the second chamber portion the capsule is in a brewing position and received in the receptacle;a capsule handler arranged to enable insertion therein of the capsule and to position said capsule in the brewing position, the capsule handler comprising guide means for guiding the capsule to the brewing position, the guide means including a first groove and a second groove defining a guiding direction and arranged for engaging a guiding edge of the capsule;wherein the capsule handler is movable between a ready position and an ejection position;wherein the capsule handler is in the ready position, wherein when the capsule is in the brewing position the capsule handler is movable between the ready position and the ejection position in a direction substantially parallel to the guiding direction of the grooves, and wherein when the first chamber portion is moved relative to the second chamber from the closed position to the open position, the capsule can fall freely from the brewing position under the influence of gravity when the capsule handler is in the ejection position. 10. The system according to claim 1, wherein the capsule handler is immobile in a direction of movement of the second chamber portion.
