ABSTRACT:
A cartridge ejector mechanism for a beverage dispensing machine comprises a cartridge holder sized to receive a beverage cartridge. The cartridge holder is coupled to the beverage dispensing machine and the cartridge holder is movable between a cartridge loading position and a beverage dispensing position. A cartridge ejector is coupled to the beverage dispensing machine. The cartridge ejector is responsive to movement of the cartridge holder from the beverage dispensing position to the cartridge loading position. Interaction between the cartridge ejector and the beverage cartridge when the cartridge holder is being moved from the beverage dispensing position towards the cartridge loading position causes the beverage cartridge to be removed from the cartridge holder.
