A molding tool for use in pressing operations for pressing powder material, in particular coffee powder, includes a concave, in particular dome-shaped, pressing surface. On the pressing surface there is an extensive non-stick texture for preventing powder material, in particular coffee powder, from adhering. The non-stick texture includes a multiplicity of local recess structures, wherein the recess structures each have a depth of 0.04 mm to 0.2 mm, in particular a depth of 0.08 mm to 0.14 mm. The non-stick texture prevents powder material from adhering during and after a pressing operation, even in the case of powder materials containing oil, e.g. coffee powder. It also prevents such adhering for different types of coffee and in pressing operations in which high pressures arise.

The invention relates to a capsule (1) and a device for preparing an infusion beverage, such as coffee, tea, or milk beverages. The capsule (1) comprises two parallel extending wall sections (11) and (13), which are connected to each other by a sealing connection (14). A pressurized liquid or gaseous medium can be conducted through an access (15) to the sealing connection (14) of the capsule (1) with the aid of a supply line (21) in a holder (20) of the device such that the sealing connection (14) is partially undone. As a result, an opening (16) is produced in the capsule. An infusion fluid can be conducted through said opening (16), wherein the fluid can then become mixed with a powder or granules present in the capsule (1) into an infusion beverage. Said infusion beverage can be discharged through a further opening. In this method for opening the capsule, no objects or parts of the device come in contact with the infusion fluid or the infusion beverage. As a result, contamination is prevented. In addition, there are fewer wear parts, such as needles or blades, which could become dull.
