  • Publication number: 20140083873
    Abstract: Capsules for making an infused drink which include a tray-like body substantially cylindrical or a truncated cone shape made from a sheet of paper or paper material and open at one end, and a cover or sealing film applied to said open end of the tray-like body are provided. Such capsules may further include a peripheral annular rim suitable for abutting with a support surface which surrounds an infusion chamber of an infusion group when the capsule is inserted in said chamber. The peripheral annular rim may have a greater rigidity than the tray-like body, which can be achieved, for example, by giving said rim a greater thickness than the thickness of the walls which form said tray-like body.
