Abstract

Beverage preparation machines include a fluid circulation system including a fluid source, a fluid pump, and a fluid circulation conduit; a container holder to receive a corresponding container; and a fluid processing device including a fluid processing body including in turn at least one inlet member for introducing the fluid substance into the container for the preparation of a beverage product by mixing of the fluid substance with an ingredient contained in the container. In further detail, the fluid processing body can include at least one outlet member for dispensing the beverage product from the container and for separately moving the fluid processing device and the container relatively one to another, e.g., between a fluid introduction position (fluid processing body protrudes inside the internal volume of the container), and a beverage dispensing position (fluid processing body at least partially withdrawn from the internal volume of the container).
