Abstract
The invention relates to a capsule for delivering a drink by injecting a pressurized fluid comprising a body (), an injection wall (), a chamber () containing a bed of food substance to be extracted, means for retaining the internal pressure () in the said chamber. The improvement consists in the provision of an injection space () allowing a means of injecting fluid in the form of at least one jet of fluid to be introduced through the injection wall and in providing a means () for breaking the jet of fluid and distributing the distribution of fluid at a reduced speed across the surface of the bed of substance. These means may adopt various forms such as that of a rigid or flexible perforated wall, or a layer of discrete elements or a spongy layer. Such a capsule improves the flow of liquid extract through the pressure retaining means () and improves the extraction conditions.
