Abstract
An infusion unit includes a support and a drawer having at least one seat for a single-serving sachet, the seat sliding relative to the support and movable between a charging position of the single-serving sachet and an infusion position. The infusion unit further includes a dispensing member for dispensing water under pressure to the single-serving sachet. A lever controls the movement of the drawer and a mechanical connection between the lever and the drawer and between the lever and the dispensing member. A stopping element locks the single-serving sachet into the infusion position after the dispensing. The seat, partly delimited by a pair of arms oscillating relative to the drawer, is interchangeable for seating capsules of various shapes or dimensions.
