Abstract
A cartridge for extracting a beverage by injecting a fluid under pressure includes a containment body adapted to contain a substance and to receive such fluid under pressure. The containment body includes a bottom wall that is provided with at least one weakened portion that can be broken due to the effect of the pressure of the fluid so as to generate an opening for the outflow of the beverage. The cartridge further includes externally to the containment body, an abutment that faces without contact the bottom wall in order to limit the deformation of the bottom wall due to the effect of the pressure of the fluid and consequently limit the extent of the fracture of the at least one weakened portion.
