A cartridge (10) for use with a mounting head (33) for the preparation of fluid comestibles comprising a cartridge inlet, a chamber (11) connected to said cartridge inlet (29) for containing suitable flavor-containing materials (12), a cartridge outlet (16) connected to said chamber and a handle to attach and secure the cartridge inlet to the mounting head to allow the liquid to be delivered under pressure through the flavor-containing materials in the chamber, through the cartridge outlet and directly into a receptacle (40) for consumption, simplifying the preparation of the fluid comestibles and cleaning. The handle (71) comprising at least part of the wall of the chamber, which is sufficiently rigid. The cartridge inlet has a cross-section area significantly smaller than that for the chamber to reduce the force exerted by the liquid pressure to the cartridge inlet, lowering the risk of breaking the seal between the cartridge inlet and mounting head. |
