Embodiment Construction

[0049] figure 1A hydraulic circuit of a machine for preparing and dispensing beverages according to an embodiment of the invention is shown in schematic form. The following symbols are used for illustration purposes: long dashed line - short dashed line = cold water; continuous line = heated water; regular dashed line = electrical connections; and long dashed line - short dashed line - short dashed line = drain system.

[0050] For convenience, the following description refers specifically to espresso machines, but the invention is not limited to such machines and may be applied to machines for dispensing other beverages. For example, barley or other grain powder can be used instead of coffee powder. Therefore, the expression "espresso machine" must be understood as also including machines for preparing other beverages. Similarly, the expression "espresso" must be understood as having a broader meaning corresponding to the product (coffee, barley or other cereals) used to pr...
