A beverage preparation machine comprising: - a beverage preparation module (20,30) having a front face with an outlet for dispensing a prepared beverage, optionally the module (20,30) being configured to circulate a liquid e.g. water from a liquid reservoir to the outlet, such as a module (20,30) comprising at least one of a liquid driver, a thermal conditioner and a beverage mixing cavity e.g. a chamber controlled by an actuator for receiving a beverage ingredient, e.g. an ingredient provided within a capsule, via an ingredient passage and for mixing said ingredient with said liquid to prepare said beverage, such as a module (20,30) provided with an external housing and/or a user-interface; and - a cup support located under the outlet for placing a cup under the outlet, optionally the cup support being removable from under the outlet to permit a placement on a placement surface in front of the front face under the outlet of a mug that is larger than said cup, such as a placement surface that is formed by a support external to said machine or by a foot of said machine, e.g. a foot extending under the cup support when located under the outlet, the cup support having a rear face removably assembled to the front face by a mechanical connector arrangement (12,22) that comprises a front hook on the front face disassemblable from a corresponding rear hook on the rear face, the rear hook having a retaining element and the front hook having a retaining element, the retaining elements (121,221) being mutually engaged when the cup support is assembled to the front face and disengaged when the cup support is disassembled from the front face, characterised in that the retaining element of the rear hook extends generally in parallel to the rear face and wherein the retaining element of the front hook extends generally in parallel to the front face, so that the rear face and the front face are arranged to be relatively slid in parallel one over another to move the retaining elements (121,221): - together from disengagement into mutual engagement to assemble the rear face to the front face; and - apart from mutual engagement into disengagement to disassemble the rear face from the front face. - a beverage preparation module (20,30) having a front face with an outlet for dispensing a prepared beverage, optionally the module (20,30) being configured to circulate a liquid e.g. water from a liquid reservoir to the outlet, such as a module (20,30) comprising at least one of a liquid driver, a thermal conditioner and a beverage mixing cavity e.g. a chamber controlled by an actuator for receiving a beverage ingredient, e.g. an ingredient provided within a capsule, via an ingredient passage and for mixing said ingredient with said liquid to prepare said beverage, such as a module (20,30) provided with an external housing and/or a user-interface; and - a cup support located under the outlet for placing a cup under the outlet, optionally the cup support being removable from under the outlet to permit a placement on a placement surface in front of the front face under the outlet of a mug that is larger than said cup, such as a placement surface that is formed by a support external to said machine or by a foot of said machine, e.g. a foot extending under the cup support when located under the outlet, the cup support having a rear face removably assembled to the front face by a mechanical connector arrangement (12,22) that comprises a front hook on the front face disassemblable from a corresponding rear hook on the rear face, the rear hook having a retaining element and the front hook having a retaining element, the retaining elements (121,221) being mutually engaged when the cup support is assembled to the front face and disengaged when the cup support is disassembled from the front face, characterised in that the retaining element of the rear hook extends generally in parallel to the rear face and wherein the retaining element of the front hook extends generally in parallel to the front face, so that the rear face and the front face are arranged to be relatively slid in parallel one over another to move the retaining elements (121,221): - together from disengagement into mutual engagement to assemble the rear face to the front face; and - apart from mutual engagement into disengagement to disassemble the rear face from the front face. - together from disengagement into mutual engagement to assemble the rear face to the front face; and - apart from mutual engagement into disengagement to disassemble the rear face from the front face.
