Beverage machine carriable single-handed

A combination of a machine for preparing a beverage from a flavouring ingredient by mixing water with the flavouring ingredient by centrifugally driving the flavouring ingredient with the water and 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 supply tank for delivering the water towards the beverage processing unit, wherein the water supply tank extends vertically from the beverage processing unit;
• a water guide for guiding the water between the water supply tank and the chamber,
• wherein the flavouring ingredient is supplied into the chamber within a capsule, and wherein the first processing unit member is configured to delimit a water inlet of the chamber and/or a beverage outlet out of the chamber, the water inlet forming an extremity of the water guide, the water inlet and/or the beverage outlet being formed by and/or associated with one or more corresponding piercing elements for piercing the capsule;
• a support structure having a base that comprises a main outside housing, a fluid line support and a supporting foot at a bottom of the main outside housing, the main outside housing being stationary during beverage preparation, the beverage processing unit and the water guide being supported by the base, the supporting foot being configured to rest on an external substantially horizontal surface, during beverage preparation and being located right below a beverage dispensing area configured to receive a user-receptacle in a position for collecting the beverage from the beverage processing unit;
• the main outside housing extending in an upright manner from the supporting foot, the fluid line support being located at an upper part of the main outside housing to hold the beverage processing unit right above the supporting foot when oriented to prepare the beverage;
• and
• the main outside housing has a gripping surface to facilitate hand gripping, extending between the supporting foot and the fluid line support for seizing the support structure single-handed.
