SYSTEM FOR MAKING BEVERAGES

A system (1) for making beverages comprises a capsule (2) containing a powdered food substance which can be extracted to make a beverage, and a capsule holder (9) comprising an infeed opening (11) through which the capsule (2) can be inserted, delimited by an annular edge (12) at the top of which there is a projecting annular element (19) and/or respectively an annular seat (20). The capsule (2) comprises a body (3) comprising a lower wall (5), a lateral wall (6) and a perimetric edge (7) on which there is an annular groove (21) on whose surface there is a bottom zone (23) and, laterally positioned on opposite sides of the bottom zone, two inner lateral faces (24,25), and/or respectively there is an annular tooth (22) on whose surface there is a tip portion (29) and, laterally positioned on opposite sides of the tip portion, two outer lateral faces (30, 31). The capsule holder (9) and the capsule (2) can adopt a sealed configuration where the projecting annular element (19), inserted in the annular groove (21), is in sealed contact with at least one of the inner lateral faces (24, 25), and/or respectively the annular seat (20) receives inside it the annular tooth (22) and is in sealed contact with at least one of the outer lateral faces (30, 31).
