System for distribution of beverages, in particular for preparing beverages, that includes: - at least one type of drinking recipient comprising a base wall that retains flow regulation means provided in a single piece, a sidewall that develops upwards confining a beverage collection space (A) and a top opening around a longitudinal axis (X), and further presents recipient retention means on the opposite edge; - at least one type of beverage apparatus presenting a beverage discharge disposition comprising a beverage discharge element that can discharge a flow in a direction opposite that of the gravity force, and a recipient placement support including support retention means , whereby said recipient retention means and support retention means develop along a direction generally transversal to the flow discharge direction in a reciprocal engagement configuration, and are adapted so that they provide retention of said drinking recipient by means of a rotation movement thereof around said longitudinal axis (X), between a recipient placement position (I) on said recipient placement support , and a recipient retention position (II) where the latter is retained by said support retention means , and vice-versa, whereby on said placement position (I), at least part of the base wall sits upon said beverage discharge disposition at least along an extension that surrounds said flow regulation means , along a direction orthogonal to the beverage discharge direction, characterized in that said drinking recipient and said beverage discharge disposition are adapted so that said drinking recipient can only be disposed on said placement position (I) in one or two previously defined angular positions with relation to said beverage discharge disposition . - at least one type of drinking recipient comprising a base wall that retains flow regulation means provided in a single piece, a sidewall that develops upwards confining a beverage collection space (A) and a top opening around a longitudinal axis (X), and further presents recipient retention means on the opposite edge; - at least one type of beverage apparatus presenting a beverage discharge disposition comprising a beverage discharge element that can discharge a flow in a direction opposite that of the gravity force, and a recipient placement support including support retention means , develop along a direction generally transversal to the flow discharge direction in a reciprocal engagement configuration, and are adapted so that they provide retention of said drinking recipient by means of a rotation movement thereof around said longitudinal axis (X), between a recipient placement position (I) on said recipient placement support , and a recipient retention position (II) where the latter is retained by said support retention means , and vice-versa, whereby on said placement position (I), at least part of the base wall sits upon said beverage discharge disposition at least along an extension that surrounds said flow regulation means , along a direction orthogonal to the beverage discharge direction, characterized in that said drinking recipient and said beverage discharge disposition are adapted so that said drinking recipient can only be disposed on said placement position (I) in one or two previously defined angular positions with relation to said beverage discharge disposition . <EOS>
