Abstract

A coffee machine including a controller, a boiler for heating a flow of infusion water, a movable infusion unit having an open infusion chamber connected to a dispensing line for dispensing the coffee infusion and having an ejection piston slidably supported therein in the infusion chamber, a supply line for supplying said flow of infusion water to the infusion unit, a closing piston engageable for closure of the infusion chamber. The controller can subject the infusion unit, prior to execution of the infusion process, to a first course of translational movement for closure of the infusion chamber by the closing piston, and to subject the infusion chamber and/or the ejection piston, following execution of the infusion process, to a second course of translational movement, for compression of the load of spent coffee grounds against the closing piston and for drainage of the liquid contained therein.
