Abstract
The coffee machine comprises an electronic controller connected to a user interface, which, in turn, comprises an input unit that receives the input commands from a user, the input unit having a surface that is touch-sensitive and/or sensitive to swipe gestures with a finger, the input unit also being configured for the acquisition of commands in the form of symbols defined by sequences of points (n, n, . . . ni) of the sensitive surface that can be selected by touching and/or swiping the sensitive surface with a finger, the controller having a comparator configured to identify an acquired symbol by comparing it with an archive of symbols present in a memory of the machine and to activate the machine function command corresponding to the identified symbol.
