Claim:
A capsule comprising a chamber defining an interior for containing beverage-forming ingredients, wherein the capsule is operatively associated with a beverage production device such that a liquid under pressure from the device can enter the capsule in order to interact with the beverage-forming ingredients therein and form a beverage, with the capsule having an exterior surface with a flange-like rim that presents a resiliently deflectable sealing member for sealingly engaging the beverage production device in order to assist in directing the liquid to traverse the capsule interior without leakage so that the liquid contacts the beverage-forming ingredients and forms the beverage, wherein the resiliently deflectable sealing member has a lip-shaped form and is part of the flange-like rim of the capsule, wherein the resiliently deflectable sealing member is a free lip extending from the rim of the capsule and outwardly away from the capsule.
