Abstract
A beverage machine (), in particular to a coffee machine, has a main flow path (), that leads through a heating device (), and a bypass flow path () that circumvents the heating device (). The bypass flow path () branches off from the main flow path () upstream of the heating device (). The main flow path () is connected to a water tank () at the input side and to a dispensing location () at the output side. A main flow pump () is arranged in the main flow path () between the water tank () and the heating device (). Thus a bypass pump () is arranged in the bypass flow path () to provide a cost-efficient and accurate admixing of cold water.
