Infusion module for an extraction apparatus, for example a coffee machine, to prepare in rations a drink or other extraction product from an extraction product packaged in a capsule, which has a first part (3) of Infusion module and a second infusion module part (4) movable with respect thereto, in which the first and second infusion module parts form a discharge device for discharging an extraction product of the capsule and an injector to introduce an extraction liquid into the capsule, and an infusion chamber that at least partially surrounds the capsule during the infusion process and which, thanks to the movement of the second part of the infusion module infused relative to the first infusion module part, it can be brought from an open state to a closed state, in which the module parts can it is in the first and / or second infusion they have piercing tips to pierce the capsule through a capsule wall, in which the infusion module also has a seat element (21) which, when the infusion chamber is in the open state, it forms a base for the capsule in a sitting position and that, by closing the infusion chamber, it can move from the sitting position to a rest position, in which the movement of the seating element from the seating position to rest position is performed in a direction different from the direction of movement of the second infusion module part relative to the first infusion module part, wherein the infusion module infusion is configured such that the capsule, after insertion through a defined insertion position, rests on the seat element (21) and a part seat (36) of the first infusion module part (3) which together form a seat, which supports the center of gravity of the capsule, and in which the seat element (21) cooperates with the others infusion module parts so that, during opening of the infusion chamber, this element returns to the support position only when the infusion chamber has been opened to a predetermined measure, this measure being selec
