Abstract
A machine () for preparing a beverage from an ingredient includes an extraction unit () that has: an ingredient extraction seat (); an inlet arrangement () for guiding water into the seat (); and a dispensing arrangement () for guiding beverage out of the seat (). The dispensing arrangement () has a face () delimiting a downstream part of the seat () and having a flow-through portion () configured such that beverage flowing out the seat () flows through the flow-through portion () towards a beverage dispensing area ('). The face () has a flow-inhibiting portion () that is at least substantially flush with the flow-through portion () so as to delimit the seat (). The flow-inhibiting portion () is configured such that beverage flowing out the seat () is inhibited, e.g. prevented, from passing through the flow-inhibiting portion ().
