The machine has a beverage collector for collecting the beverage from the processing unit. The collector has a collecting wall directing the beverage out of the collector to the beverage dispensing area. The machine has: a water source for delivering the water between the water source and the chamber; and a supporting structure which has a base that supports the beverage collector during beverage preparation.
