Abstract

The present invention provides a pod for preparing a beverage comprising: a rigid or semi-rigid sidewall (23); a rigid or semi-rigid upper surface (27) containing one more apertures (25) forming an inlet of the pod; a lower surface (22) formed at least partially from filtering material, the filtering material forming an outlet of the pod; the sidewall (22), upper surface (27) and lower surface (22) together defining a storage volume extending from the inlet to the outlet and containing a water-soluble composition, or a combination or mixture of water-soluble compositions for forming a beverage; wherein the rigid or semi-rigid sidewall (23) maintains a physical separation of the filtering material and the upper surface during use.
