1. An infusion device comprising: an infusion chamber for receiving a substance to be infused and passing pressurized water through the substance to be infused, the infusion chamber having a water intake portion in the infusion chamber and an infused drink outlet portion;an injection channel in fluid communication, by an injection end, with the intake portion and connectable by an inlet end to a pressurized water circuit; andan adjustable organ configured for varying a water pressure in the injection channel to generate a water pressure difference between the inlet end and the injection end, and controlled by a control element located outside the infusion chamber;wherein the adjustable organ varies a head loss and comprises: a valve installed opposing an elastic return element configured to close the injection channel when the water pressure exerted on the valve falls below a force of the elastic return element; andan organ for adjusting the force of the elastic return element, which includes a compressible device,wherein the adjustable organ varies compression of the compressible device,wherein the adjustable organ comprises a bearing component pressing on the compressible device, a position of the bearing component being adjustable to suit a direction of compression of the compressible device, andwherein the adjustable organ comprise a screw forming a helicoidal slide for movement of the bearing component. 2. The device according to claim 1, further comprising a hood that covers at least partially the infusion chamber, the control element being accessible on the outside of the hood. 3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the control element is configured to operate the adjustable organ when the infusion chamber is closed. 4. The device according to claim 3, wherein the control element is configured to allow operation of the adjustable organ in order to vary the water pressure when water goes through the substance to be infused. 5. The device according to claim 1, wherein the control element comprises a manually movable part, the water pressure being a function of the position of the manually movable part. 6. The device according to claim 1, wherein the control element comprises an electric circuit and at least one button for controlling the electric circuit. 7. The device according to claim 6, wherein the control element comprise means for storing data relating to at least one pressure curve to be applied during an infusing cycle. 8. The device according to claim 1, wherein the bearing component is a slider that is translationally movable by tightening or loosening the screw. 9. The device according to claim 8, wherein the screw is fitted so as to be rotationally mobile only and wherein the helicoidal slide is formed between the screw and the slider. 10. The device according to claim 9, further comprising a surface for translational blocking of the screw, the said surface being movable between an active blocking position of the screw and an inactive position for extraction of the screw. 11. The device according to claim 10, wherein the surface is configured to press against a bearing surface of the screw by exerting a force on the screw opposing decompression of the compressible device. 12. The device according to claim 1, wherein the control element comprises an activating element for rotationally activating the screw. 13. The device according to claim 12, wherein the activating element comprises a manually-operated or motor-driven rotational control. 14. The device according to claim 13, further comprising a mark identifying an angular position of the screw. 15. The device according to claim 1, wherein the compressible device is a coil spring.
