Abstract:
A machine (1) for dispensing a beverage (7) includes: a module (10) having a cavity (10a) and a cavity outlet (10a′) for guiding the beverage out of the cavity (10a); and a guide (100) that has a guide outlet (102) and that is arranged for receiving the beverage (7) from the cavity outlet (10a′) and guiding the beverage (7) along a guide direction (100′) to the guide outlet (102) and out thereof so as to be dispensed to a beverage dispensing area. The guide (100) has a guide channel (101,101′,101″,101b) extending along the guide direction (100′) for receiving the beverage (7) from the cavity outlet (10a′) and guiding the beverage (7) to the guide outlet (102). The guide channel (101,101′,101″) has a cross-section orthogonal to the guide direction (100′) and a bottom (101,101b′) generally extending along the guide direction (100′). The cross-section has a width that increases with distance from the bottom (101,101b′), e.g. with height above the bottom.
