    Abstract: The present invention relates to a consumable recognition system for recognizing placement and/or type of consumable containing a food substance for the preparation of a beverage by use of a beverage dispenser. To enable the recognition of placement and/or type of consumable in a simple, foolproof and easily implementable way the system comprises a light sensor (32, 301, 312, 321, 332) for sensing light (36) reflected from a reflection element (42, 52, 62, 73, 82, 92) of the consumable during a relative movement between the consumable and the light sensor to obtain a sensor signal, wherein the sensor signal depends on the position, reflectivity and/or pattern of said reflection element, a movable sensor carrier (2) carrying said light sensor (301, 312, 321), wherein said light sensor is configured to sense light reflected from said reflection element (52, 62, 73, 82, 92) during a movement of said sensor carrier, and a signal processor (33) for recognizing placement and/or type of consumable based on said sensor signal.
