A device for preparing beverages, such as coffee, via a substance contained in a cartridge (C) comprises:&#x2014;a supporting structure (); and&#x2014;a cartridge-holder moving element () having a distal cartridge-holder portion (), the moving element () being supported on the supporting structure () for rotation about an axis (X) between a first angular position and a second angular position and for translation with respect to said axis (X) between a proximal position and a distal position. A link () is provided, such as an oscillating arm, which constrains the cartridge-holder moving element () and the supporting structure () so that the cartridge-holder moving element () is mobile between a condition of loading of the cartridge (C) and a condition of preparation of the beverage as a result of simultaneous movements of rotation and translation with respect to the aforesaid axis (X).
