ABSTRACT:
A coffee machine for making a coffee beverage using pre-packed and pre-portioned coffee pouches including a brew chamber which includes a brew chamber top and a brew chamber base. The brew chamber top is movable by a locking mechanism along a virtual vertical axis from an elevated position to a position lowered on the brew chamber base to form a tight brew chamber and is movable back into the elevated position where a carrier of brew chamber base can be pushed, in horizontal plane from a pushed-in position in which the brew chamber base and the brew chamber top are disposed coaxially relative to each other, into a drawn-out position in which a pouch can be placed on said brew chamber base. Piercing elements are also supported at said brew chamber top and can be pushed into its interior. After elevating the brew chamber top and thus opening the brew chamber and drawing out the movable carrier, the piercing elements are withdrawn from the interior of the brew chamber top.
