Abstract
A cartridge (1) for coffee and for soluble products is described, which comprises a container (2) designed to contain the coffee or the soluble product, a lid (6) placed on the top of the container so as to define an upper wall designed to allow hot water under pressure to enter the container (2) in order to produce the beverage, a filter (4) designed to be positioned inside the container (2) above a bottom wall (20) of the container. The bottom wall (20) of the container has at least one breakable portion (28) designed to break when the liquid inside the cartridge reaches a pre-set pressure, so as to form at least one aperture (130) to allow the beverage to be extracted from the cartridge (1)a.
