Zusammenfassung:A beverage forming method and system in which a carafe (2) with an associated magnetic element is positionable at a carafe receiving area (12). One of a protrusion (30) and a first recess (32) is associated with the carafe (2) and the other of the protrusion (30) and the first recess (32) is associated with a housing (17). The housing (17) includes a detector (13) arranged to detect the presence of the magnetic element when the protrusion (30) is inserted into the first recess (32). Beverage formation of an amount greater than a threshold volume (VT) is enabled when the detector (13) detects the magnetic element. (Fig. 9)
