A machine (1) for preparing a beverage comprising:-an ingredient processing module (10) that has a first part (20) and a second part (30) movable relative to the first part from a position for processing therein an ingredient for forming a beverage to a transfer position for inserting said ingredient into the processing module and/or for evacuation thereof from the processing module;-a motor means (50) for relatively moving the first and second parts between the processing position and the transfer position;-a control unit (60) for controlling the motor means to relatively move the first and second parts; and-a user-interface (80) connected to the control unit for sensing a user-request to relatively move the first and second parts by the controlled motor means. The user-interface (80) is configured to detect a direction (81,82) and extent of displacement of an object (3) in a user-input area (80'). The control unit is configured to control the motor means so as to relatively move the first and second parts towards the transfer position or towards the processing position into a direction (35, 36) and to an extent depending on said detected direction (81,82) and extent of displacement of said object. |
