Abstract (en)

It comprises: hollow body (2) with an upper area and a lower area; base (4), on the lower area of the body (2); drink preparation housed inside the body (2), designed to obtain a drink; and outlet (19) at the base (4), designed to allow for release of the drink. The drink preparation is in direct contact with the body (2), and the cartridge (1) further incorporates a filter (8), made of a synthetic polymer material, inside the body (2), on the base (4), in correspondence with the outlet (19). Unlike the small cellulose bags used in the prior art, since it is made of a synthetic polymer material, the filter (8) does not retain the particles that provide the drink with a pleasant flavour and aroma, which makes it possible to dispense with the small cellulose bag that interacts with said particles and retains them.
