What is claimed is: 1. A portion package for making an aromatic beverage, comprising: a dish-shaped lower part having a bottom presenting a bottom surface, and a circumferential side wall extending from the bottom and including an outwardly extending edge at an upper end thereof, the lower part comprising a material having filtering capabilities, the circumferential side wall including a front wall, a rear wall, and two oppositely located, non-parallel side walls extending substantially between the front wall and the rear wall, the non-parallel side walls converging in a wedge-shaped manner, and the edge extending parallel to the bottom surface; and a lid lying on the edge of the lower part and being bonded thereto. 2. The portion package according to claim 1, wherein a region of the side wall of the lower part is compressed to be substantially impervious to water. 3. The portion package according to claim 2, wherein the edge together with a region of the lid lying on the edge is compressed approximately to the same degree as the circumferential side wall to be substantially impervious to water. 4. The portion package according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the lid and the lower part comprises one of a non-woven plastic and a plastic/paper mixture each of which have filtering capabilities. 5. The portion package according to claim 1, wherein the lid is bonded to the edge by a sealing process. 6. The portion package according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the bottom of the lower part and the lid includes regions having a water permeability that is greater than a water permeability of portions of the bottom and the lid, respectively, which lie externally of the regions. 7. The portion package according to claim 6, wherein the portions of the bottom and the lid, respectively, are compressed relative to the regions. 8. The portion package according to claim 1, wherein the circumferential side wall of the lower part tapers at an angle a from the lid in the direction of the bottom. 9. An apparatus for a portioned making of an aromatic beverage from a portion package filled with an aromatic carrier, the portion package including a circumferential side wall having a wedge shape and a tapered frontal region, the apparatus comprising: a brewing chamber for receiving the portion package, the brewing chamber comprising a stationary part and a receiving part for receiving the portion package, the receiving part being movable relative to the stationary part between an open position and a closed position, wherein in the closed position of the receiving part, a portion package inserted in the receiving part is sealable on all sides with the exception of an inlet for hot water for extracting the aromatic carrier and an outlet for the aromatic beverage, the receiving part including a wedge-shaped inserter for receiving the tapered, frontal region of the wedge-shape portion package, the stationary part having an end region opposite the inserter, the end region including an abutment adapted to engage the portion package, wherein the wedge-shaped inserter and the abutment cooperate to position the portion package in a predetermined position within the brewing chamber when the receiving part is in the closed position. 10. The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the portion package has a projecting edge region, and the inserter includes a supporting region for the portion package and an undercut in the supporting region for covering the projecting edge region of the portion package when the portion package is inserted in the receiving part.
