Beverage machine with separable fluid module

A combination of:

• a machine for preparing a beverage from a flavouring ingredient by mixing water with the flavouring ingredient, the machine comprising:
• a beverage processing unit formed of a first processing unit member and a second processing unit member that delimit a chamber and that are movable between a distant configuration in which the flavouring ingredient is received in the chamber and a proximate configuration in which the flavouring ingredient is held and mixed with the water in the chamber during beverage preparation;
• a water source for delivering the water towards the beverage processing unit formed by a connector to be connected to a water supply line external to the machine and/or a water supply tank that has an outside opening for water filling with a water source external to the machine;
• a fluid module comprising a water guide for guiding the water between the water source and the chamber, the fluid module comprising the first processing unit member of the processing unit;
• and
• a supporting structure which has a base that is stationary during beverage preparation, the fluid module being mountable by a user as a unit to the supporting structure and removable by a user as a unit from the supporting structure;
• wherein the fluid module is assemblable by a user as a unit to the water source and to the second processing unit member and is disassemblable by a user as a unit from the water source and from the second processing unit member;
• and
• a flavouring ingredient for preparing the beverage from the flavouring ingredient in the machine.
