A capsule for making a beverage, comprising: - a cup-shaped containment body in turn comprising a tubular lateral wall, extending between a first edge and a second edge, and a bottom portion connected to the second edge and extending transversally to a central axis of the tubular lateral wall; - a closing element fixed to the first edge for closing the top of the containment body, the containment body and the closing element forming an inner chamber of the capsule; - a powdered food substance which allows a beverage to be made by passing water through the powdered food substance, the powdered food substance being contained in the inner chamber; - a water distributing element; wherein one of either the closing element or the bottom portion is, in use, a water infeed section for feeding water into the capsule and the other of either the closing element or the bottom portion is, in use, a beverage outfeed section for outfeed of the beverage from the capsule; wherein the water distributing element is positioned in the inner chamber, in a position interposed between the water infeed section and the powdered food substance; the water distributing element comprising: - a central region intended, in use, to receive the water fed in; - a perimetric region which is in contact with the tubular lateral wall of the containment body; - a partition wall which extends between the central region and the perimetric region, the partition wall having a first face which is facing the water infeed section and a second face which is facing the powdered food substance; - one or more holes or channels (40, 45) which pass through the partition wall and put the first face and the second face in communication with each other, characterised in that the distance (D40, D45) between each of said one or more holes or channels (40, 45) and the central axis is greater than or equal to three quarters of the distance between the tubular lateral wall and the central axis, the distance being measured along a line that is radial relative to the central axis and intersecting the hole or channel (40, 45), said one or more holes or channels (40, 45) forming the only passages for the water, in use, from the water infeed section towards the powdered food substance; and in that, considering a reference plane which is perpendicular to the central axis, the first face of the partition wall is slanting relative to the reference plane or is formed of portions which are slanting relative to the reference plane, whereby, along lines that are radial or along lines that are annular relative to the central axis, the first face of the partition wall is at a variable distance from the reference plane, the first face of the partition wall having a convexity facing the water infeed section. - a cup-shaped containment body in turn comprising a tubular lateral wall, extending between a first edge and a second edge, and a bottom portion connected to the second edge and extending transversally to a central axis of the tubular lateral wall; - a closing element fixed to the first edge for closing the top of the containment body, the containment body and the closing element forming an inner chamber of the capsule; - a powdered food substance which allows a beverage to be made by passing water through the powdered food substance, the powdered food substance being contained in the inner chamber; - a water distributing element; - a central region intended, in use, to receive the water fed in; - a perimetric region which is in contact with the tubular lateral wall of the containment body; - a partition wall which extends between the central region and the perimetric region, the partition wall having a first face which is facing the water infeed section and a second face which is facing the powdered food substance; - one or more holes or channels (40, 45) which pass through the partition wall and put the first face and the second face in communication with each other,
