Method for cleaning a steam nozzle () of a beverage preparation machine comprising a rinsing container () having a top opening () and a draining device () for evacuating the liquid contained therein; a feed device for feeding the nozzle with liquid; a device () for moving the nozzle vertically so that its free end () enters the container (); and a control unit for controlling the moving and feeding devices. It includes a rinsing sequence with the following steps: the lowering of the nozzle () into the rinsing position inside the container; the filling of the container () with liquid by the nozzle; and the draining of the container () activated by the control unit connected to the moving and feeding devices.

Method for cleaning the steam nozzle of a machine for preparing beverages

Beverage preparation machine comprising a body (), a movable steam nozzle () connected to the body by a moving device (), a beverage preparation area () in which a cup can be placed, and a cleaning area in which is disposed a rinsing container (). The moving device () moves the nozzle () between the preparation and cleaning areas. The machine also includes a cleaning product outlet () that can be moved between a dispensing position located in the cleaning area for dispensing product into the container (), and a storage position located outside the cleaning area. The cleaning product outlet () is connected to the moving device () so as to place this outlet in the storage position when the nozzle () is in the cleaning area.

Drink preparing machine including a steam nozzle cleaning system

Beverage preparation machine comprising a bodyhaving a facade, a beverage preparation area () delimited on one side by the facade, in its upper part by beverage outlets, and in its lower part by a cup rest, and a movable steam nozzleconnected to the body by a moving device. The body includes a housingdefining a cleaning area, in which is disposed a rinsing containerhaving a top openingand including a draining device, and in which the movable nozzleis driven in a vertical movement by the moving device so that its free endenters the containerthrough its top opening.

Drink preparing machine including a built-in container for cleaning using steam nozzle

A brewing machine includes a brewing chamber delineated by first and second parts () that can move relative to one another between closed and open positions, and a device for ejection of a portion of the infused product including an ejection element that can be moved by an actuating mechanism. A retractable flap is mounted to be able to move on the ejection element. The actuating mechanism moves the ejection element back from the chamber in the closed position, and during passage to the open position controls the forward motion of the ejection element parallel to the plane of the contact surface of the first and second parts, during which the flap is retracted upon contact with the portion, and a return movement during which the flap is in the holding position and drives the portion to outside of the brewing chamber.
