Abstract:
1. A coffee machine comprising an infusion group having an infusion cylinder and a main body formed by a shell, comprising a window, and delimiting a space for a reversible movement of the infusion cylinder between a position of engagement with a closure piston for the creation of an infusion chamber and a position of disengagement from said closure piston for the loading of a coffee powder load, said infusion cylinder being rigidly supported by a carrier having a translation axis and a movable rotation axis along the translation axis oriented orthogonally to said rotation axis and parallel to the axis of said closure piston, a removable reciprocal engagement member between said infusion cylinder and said carrier being provided for the extraction of said infusion cylinder from the window of said shell, a rotation member being provided of said carrier around said rotation axis between a first angular position in which the axis of said infusion cylinder is oriented transversely to said translation axis to execute said loading of said coffee powder load, and a second angular position in which the axis of said infusion cylinder is oriented parallel to said translation axis, the coffee machine further comprising a conveyance duct adapted to convey a drink produced in said infusion chamber towards a remote dispenser, a connector for the selective hydraulic connection of said conveyance duct with said infusion chamber or with a discharge path, and a discharger permitting the discharge of any drink remaining inside said conveyance duct at the end of every functioning cycle of said coffee machine, wherein outside said shell, a translation member is provided for translation of said carrier along said translation axis to attain said engagement position with said closure piston.
