The invention relates to a capsule for the preparation of a beverage
obtained by supplying hot water within the capsule under pressure and
releasing the beverage from the capsule. The capsule includes a food
substance therein, a first surface adapted to be traversed by a flow of
water entering the capsule, and a second surface adapted to be traversed
by a flow of beverage exiting the capsule. The second surface is adapted
to deform outwardly upon action of the inside water pressure thereon.
Also, that surface includes at least one opening member capable of
deforming inwards the capsule upon a mechanical reaction force applied
from outside onto the closure member as a result of the deformation of
the second surface due to the build-up of the inside pressure.
