The technical problem of the present invention is to provide a machine for automatically preparing and dispensing beverages that has an infusion chamber of simple design and optimises the infusion of the capsule so that all areas of the latter are subjected to water injection. The solution of the invention is an assembly including a machine for automatically and dispensing beverages that comprises an infusion chamber (11) adapted for receiving a capsule (1) formed by a compacted aggregate of a substance to be infused trapped in an airtight and watertight conditioning envelope, said infusion chamber being provided with a member (12) for puncturing said conditioning envelope, penetrating into said aggregate of substance to be infused and injecting pressurised water into said capsule, said infusion chamber including a puncture area (20) adapted for locally puncturing or piercing said conditioning envelope, said puncture area (20) communicating with a device (21, 21a, 22) for recovering the liquid flowing through the punctured or pierced area of said conditioning envelope, characterised in that the puncture area (20) is located in the infusion chamber (11) on the same side as the puncturing member (12), said puncture area being provided at the base of said puncturing member and connected thereto, the water being injected towards the portion of the capsule (1) opposite said puncture area so as to be evenly distributed into the entire capsule.
