Abstract: A milk module for producing hot or cold, foamed or non-foamed milk, and integrable in a machine for producing milk-based beverages. The milk module comprises a supply pump; a suction line extending from a fluid inlet to a suction side of the supply pump; a delivery line extending from a delivery side of the supply pump to a dispensing nozzle with an inlet portion and a dispensing outlet; an electronic control unit configured to operate the milk module in a production mode, in which the suction line is supplied with milk, and in a washing mode, in which the suction line is supplied with either water or water and detergent; and a drainage line to drain washing water into a waste container during operation in the washing mode. The drainage line extends from the dispensing nozzle to the waste container and comprises a suction pump.
