Abstract: A beverage machine having internal and external liquid reservoirs. Liquid can be selectively be provided from either the internal or external reservoir to a brew chamber to form a beverage. The internal reservoir may be provided with liquid only from a mains water connection, and the external reservoir may receive liquid by pouring into the reservoir. A valve may be coupled to the internal and external reservoirs and selectively fluidly connect either of the reservoirs to the brew chamber. The external reservoir may be removable from the machine housing, and the valve may fluidly connect the internal reservoir to the brew chamber when the external reservoir is removed.
