Abstract

A dispensing system comprising: a partially or completely collapsed container (1), such as a flexible pouch, for containing an individual portion of a liquid food or beverage, wherein the container comprises an inlet (6) and a seal (11) that substantially seals the inlet (6), and a liquid dispensing mechanism (8) adapted to release the seal (11) on the inlet (6) and to inject a liquid into the container through the inlet to produce said individual portion of a liquid food or beverage inside the container. Also provided is a method of making a container holding an individual portion of a liquid food or beverage product, comprising the steps of: providing a partially or completely collapsed container having a substantially rigid, sealed inlet; clamping the container in a liquid dispensing mechanism; and injecting a liquid into the container through the inlet by means of the liquid dispensing. Also provided is a partially or completely collapsed container, preferably a pouch, for use in a dispensing system or method of the invention.
