Abstract
A horizontal unit for making beverages includes a first part () and a second part () which are mobile between an operating position in which between them they form a chamber () for a capsule (), and a capsule () insertion position in which they are separated. A beverage collection portion () includes a perforating element () mobile between an active position in which it perforates a capsule (), and an inactive position. A hooking portion () is switchable between a hooking configuration in which it retains the perforating element in the active position and an unhooking configuration. During a movement of the first part and/or the second part from the insertion position to the operating position, the second part switches the hooking portion from the hooking configuration to the unhooking configuration, whilst during an opposite movement the second part moves the perforating element from the inactive position to the active position.
