<p>The machine (1) comprises a fixed support structure (2) in which there is provided a horizontal hot water and/or steam dispensing head (3) and a movable dose-carrier assembly (4) including a lever member (5), which at one first end (5a) is provided with a receptacle (6) adapted to receive a pre-packaged dose (C) of a substance for the preparation of the beverage, and which at its other or second end is provided with a handle (10). Said handle (10) is manually operable to move the assembly (4) between a position in which it is sealingly coupled with the dispensing head (3) and an uncoupling position, through first guide means (17, 18) which comprise first and second pairs of protruding horizontal formations (17, 18), which are horizontally aligned and opposing each other with respect to an intermediate vertical plane, and second guide means (13, 14) which comprise at least one pair of facing and parallel slits or grooves (13, 14), which extend in respective vertical planes on opposite sides and in which the protruding formations (17, 18) of the first and second pairs are guidedly and slidingly engaged. Said slits or grooves (13, 14) are shaped such that the dose-carrier assembly (4) is manually displaceable from the uncoupling position towards the coupling position by means of an upward displacement of the handle (10) thereof, essentially along an arcuate path having its concavity facing the dispensing head (3).</p> |
