Abstract: A machine for preparing beverages, particularly for preparing espresso coffee, comprising a base (2) and a head (3) for dispensing the beverage that is provided with an extraction chamber adapted to accommodate a portion of at least one ingredient of the beverage, and in particular a dose of roasted and ground coffee, and connected to a water reservoir (4) by means of a pump (5). The machine comprises a support (6) for a container (6a) of the beverage dispensed by the dispensing head (3). The support (6) of the container of the beverage is interposed axially between the dispensing head (3) and the reservoir (4), so that the dispensing head (3), the support (6) and the reservoir (4) are crossed by an axis (A) that is substantially perpendicular to the base (2).

Abstract: A machine for preparing beverages with frothed milk, which comprises a base structure adapted to dispense a beverage and provided with a dispensing head below which there is a dispensing region in which it is possible to arrange a container for collecting the dispensed beverage; the base structure comprises a steam outlet and a milk reservoir that can be separated from the base structure comprising a lid; the base structure comprises a Venturi block that can be separated from the base structure and is connected to the steam outlet and to the milk reservoir in order to draw the milk from the milk reservoir by the Venturi effect and to produce frothed milk; the Venturi block is interposed between the dispensing head and the lid of the milk reservoir and is connected detachably to the lid of the milk reservoir in a lateral position with respect to the lid.

Abstract: A frothing device including a central body which is detachably associable with a steam delivery tube and an outer casing which fits over the central body. The central body forms channels for the passage of air and of liquid to be frothed, in order to mix them with the steam and consequently mix the three flows. The device further includes a first mixing region for forming a mixture composed of the air and the liquid to be frothed, which arrive respectively from an air intake channel and a liquid rising channel, which are formed by the central body and by the outer casing, the formed mixture then converges in a second mixing region with the steam that is injected in the second mixing region and arrives from the delivery tube and then enters the beverage by means of a discharge channel that extends from the second mixing region.

Abstract: A mixing, heating and/or frothing and/or whipping device for preparing hot milk-based beverages, comprising a central body which is detachably associable with a steam delivery tube and an outer casing which fits over the central body; the central body protrudes partially from the outer casing in order to immerse it partially in a beverage together with part of the outer casing and forms channels for the passage of air and of liquid to be frothed, in order to mix them with the steam and consequently mix the three flows, the device further comprising at least one first mixing region for forming a mixture composed of the air and the liquid to be whipped, which arrive respectively from at least one intake channel and at least one rising channel, which are formed by the central body and by the outer casing, the formed mixture then converges in at least one second mixing region with the steam that is injected in the second mixing region and arrives from the delivery tube and then enters the beverage by means of at
