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: Automated device to prepare beverages from cartridges includes a beverage extraction unit configured to extract and deliver the beverage from a cartridge that comprises a cartridge feeder chamber configured to contain and supply a plurality of cartridges, a cartridge transfer slider, automatically mobile between at least a cartridge loading position, in correspondence with the cartridge feeder chamber, to receive a cartridge, a beverage extraction position, different from the cartridge loading position, aligned with the beverage extraction unit and a cartridge expulsion position, different from the cartridge loading position and from the beverage extraction position. The cartridge transfer slider has, both in the cartridge loading position and in the beverage extraction position, a cartridge support configuration, and also has, in the cartridge expulsion position, a cartridge release configuration to discharge a used cartridge.

Abstract: A cartridge for the preparation of a beverage consists of a lateral cylindrical surface (S) obtained by rolling of a sheet and welding thereof along a line (L), as well as a top base (T) and a bottom base (B) welded to the cylindrical surface (S) so as to close the apertures at the ends of the latter, both the cylindrical surface (S) and the bases (B, T) being made from a flexible and gastight material. In this way a cartridge is obtained with a regular shape and easy to manufacture that not only is cheaper, more efficient and more environmentally friendly than prior art cartridges, but it also allows to make a coffee machine that is cheaper, more practical and lighter and can even be totally automatic.
