A reusable dispensing device for dispensing contents into a container. The device including a body having a chamber configured to receive a capsule and configured to sit on an opening of the container. A portion of the body being movable between an unsealed first position and an engaged second position. Piercing means are configured to pierce the capsule, and sealing means are configured to seal the container in the engaged second position. Movement of the body from the unsealed first position to the engaged second position to seal the container engages the piercing means to pierce the capsule and dispense contents from the capsule into the container.

The invention relates to a concentrated product storage cartridge for a diluting and dispensing container, comprising an external body, with an open lower end having a closing edge on the lower end thereof; and on the opposite end, there are flaps extending above the cylindrical tube of the external body, comprising a quick-coupling means; an opening for accessing the inner region thereof, where is placed an internal plunger, forming a filling region; and, on the upper end thereof, having quick-coupling means to be attached to the cover of cartridge. Said cover comprises upper ring flaps, arranged in order to interlock with the quick-coupling means of the internal plunger, forming a single assembly with an opening that can engage with the flaps of the external body, which are mounted in a way to provide displacement mobility in both directions downwards and upwards in relation to the internal plunger head.
