Abstract:
1. A capsule containing a dose of a substance for making a drink, for use with a apparatus provided with means for feeding pressurized water and/or steam into a housing chamber of the capsule, the capsule comprising: a cup-shaped main body forming the housing chamber containing the substance, the main body including a bottom wall forming the bottom of the cup, the bottom wall configured to prevent liquid flow therethrough until the bottom wall is torn or penetrated, and a lateral wall connected at a lower portion thereof to the bottom wall and including an upper portion delimiting an opening for access to the housing chamber, the main body allowing beverage flow through it only after the bottom wall has been torn or penetrated by piercing means; a cover element fixed to the upper portion of the lateral wall for closing the access opening; characterised in that the lateral wall of the capsule includes lengthening means positioned between the cover element and the lower portion of the lateral wall and which, following an increase in the capsule internal pressure, allows a movement of the lower portion of the lateral wall and the bottom wall away from the cover element due to the increase in capsule internal pressure.
