The coffee maker comprises a chamber acting as a boiler to receive a determined quantity of water; a chamber for the final collection of the beverage produced; and, for containing the ground coffee, a filter device connecting together the two chambers and comprising a tube which dips into the water contained in the boiler. A baffle is provided to sealedly close the boiler, with the exception of a through hole for sealedly receiving the filter device. The filter device comprises an enclosure closed or closable to form a filter capsule intended to contain the ground coffee and closed or closable independently of whether the coffee maker is assembled. The walls of the capsule are liquid-permeable in a region which communicates with the tube and in at least one other region which communicates with the collection chamber.

1. A coffee maker comprising:a chamber acting as a boiler to receive a determined quantity of water; a chamber for the final collection of the beverage produced; for containing the ground coffee; a filter device connecting together the two chambers and comprising a tube which dips into the water contained in the boiler; and a baffle provided to sealedly close the boiler, with the exception of a through hole for sealedly receiving the filter device, the filter device comprising an enclosure closed or closable to form a filter capsule, intended to contain the ground coffee and closed or closable independently of whether the coffee maker is assembled, the walls of the capsule being liquid permeable in a region which communicates with the tube and in at least one region which communicates with the collection chamber, wherein the capsule is disposed in the collection chamber, and wherein the through hole provided in the baffle receives the dip tube. 2. A coffee maker (110; 210; 310) as claimed on claim 1, with its capsule (128; 228; 328) disposed in the collection chamber (116; 216; 316), wherein the through hole (124; 224; 324) provided in the baffle (117; 217; 317) receives the dip tube (126; 226; 326).3. A coffee maker (210; 310; 410; 510) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the baffle (217; 317; 417; 517) is removable, seal means (240; 340; 440; 540) being provided to provide a seal at the periphery of the baffle (217; 317; 417; 517) when the coffee maker (110; 210; 310) is assembled.4. A coffee maker (110; 210; 310) as claimed on claim 1, wherein the filter capsule (128; 228; 328; 428; 528) already contains the ground coffee (115; 215; 315) and is not openable or closable by the user, it hence being of disposable type.5. A coffee maker as claimed in claim 1, wherein the filter capsule can be opened by the user to enable ground coffee to be inserted into it.6. A coffee maker (110; 410) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the filter capsule (128; 428) forms one piece with the dip tube (126; 426).7. A coffee maker (310) as claimed in claim 3, wherein the filter capsule (328) forms one piece with the dip tube (326) and with the baffle (317).8. A coffee maker (210) as claimed in claim 3, wherein the baffle (217) and the dip tube (226) form one piece.9. A coffee maker (110) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the baffle (117) forms one piece with the collection chamber (116).10. A coffee maker as claimed in claim 1, wherein the baffle forms one piece with the boiler.11. A coffee maker as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least a peripheral edge of the baffle is made of a suitable plastic material to act as a seal gasket.12. A coffee maker (110; 210; 410) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the liquid permeability of the first region and/or of the at least one second region of the walls of the filter capsule (128; 228; 428) is achieved by providing, in these regions, perforations (132; 232; 432) of a size such as not to allow the ground coffee (115; 215) to escape.13. A coffee maker (110; 210; 310; 510) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the liquid permeability of the first region and/or of the at least one second region of the walls of the filter capsule (128; 228; 328; 528) is achieved by providing apertures, and disposing on these apertures a means (130; 230; 330, 332; 530) which is permeable to liquids but which prevents escape of the ground coffee (115; 215; 315) from these apertures.14. The coffee maker as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the liquid-permeable element the area opposite to where said tube extends comprises a plurality of apertures having disposed thereon an element permeable to liquids but which prevents escape of ground coffee from said plural apertures.15. A filter device (126, 128; 226, 228; 326, 328; 426, 428; 526, 528, 527; 626, 628) containing or intended to contain ground coffee (115; 215; 315; 415; 615), this device forming part or intended to form part of a coffee maker (110; 210; 310; 410; 510) in accordance with claim 1, comprising a tube (126; 226; 326; 426; 526; 626) which, with the coffee maker assembled, dips into the water contained in the boiler (112; 212; 312; 412; 512), characterised by comprising an enclosure closed or closable to form a filter capsule (128; 228; 328; 428; 528; 628) containing or intended to contain the ground coffee and closed or closable independently of whether the coffee maker is assembled, the walls of the capsule being liquid-permeable in a region (130; 230; 330) which communicates with the tube and in at least one other region (132; 232; 332; 432; 532) which communicates with the collection chamber.16. A coffee maker, comprising: a boiler chamber; a collection chamber releasably connected to said boiler chamber; a filter device connecting the boiler chamber to the collection chamber; a tube having a first end extending from an exterior surface of said filter device and a second end extending into said boiler chamber; a baffle sealedly closing the boiler chamber except for a through hole that sealedly receives one of the filter device and the tube; and a liquid-permeable element on an interior surface of said filter device covering said first end of said tube, said filter device being liquid-impermeable except through said liquid-permeable element and in an area opposite to where said tube extends; wherein the through hole receives the filter device.17. A coffee maker, comprising: a boiler chamber; a collection chamber releasably connected to said boiler chamber; a filter device connecting the boiler chamber to the collection chamber; a tube having a first end extending from an exterior surface of said filter device and a second end extending into said boiler chamber; a baffle sealedly closing the boiler chamber except for a through hole that sealedly receives one of the filter device and the tube; and a liquid-permeable element on an interior surface of said filter device covering said first end of said tube, said filter device being liquid-impermeable except through said liquid-permeable element and in an area opposite to where said tube extends wherein the removable from both the boiler chamber and the collection chamber.
