Abstract: A beverage preparation machine (1) comprises a user-interface (10, 10?, 20, 30, 40, 50) that has: a generally peripheral illuminatable arrangement (11, 11?, 21, 31, 41, 51) formed of illuminatable parts (11A-11F, 11A?-11H?, 21A-21G, 31A-31F, 41A-41B, 51A-51H, 51X) and extending around an inner portion (110,120); and a control arrangement (100,105) for activating and deactivating an illumination of the illuminatable parts. The control arrangement (100,105) has at least one configuration for activating part of the illuminatable parts (11A-11F, 11A?-11H?, 21A-21G, 31A-31F, 41A-41B, 51A-51H, 51X), for instance to successively activate consecutive parts (11A-11F, 11A?-11H?, 21A-21G, 31A-31F, 41A-41B, 51A-51H, 51X) in a turning sequence about the inner portion (110,120) and optionally either deactivate all the parts simultaneously after activation of all the parts or successively deactivate previously activated parts at the same pace as the activation pace or at a lower pace.
