A system for preparing a brewed product, the system including a portion capsule containing an extraction material, and an extraction appliance for preparing the brewed product from the extraction material contained in the portion capsule. The extraction appliance has an injection device for introducing a brewing liquid into the portion capsule and an extraction device for driving an extraction product out of the portion capsule. The injection device and the extraction device define between them an accommodation space for the portion capsule. The extraction device has a pressure device, by which a wall of the portion capsule inserted in the accommodation space, which wall faces toward the extraction device, can be pressed in toward the capsule interior in order to compact the extraction material contained in the portion capsule before the injection device introduces brewing liquid into the portion capsule.
