Abstract

See full text

A drinks preparation machine for preparing a drink can be operated in multiple operational modes and includes a liquid container, a drinks preparation device for preparing the drink using a liquid, at least one fluid line which is connected to the liquid container and drinks preparation device, a receiving device for receiving a liquid filter in a predetermined filter position, a sensor for detecting a liquid filter, and a control device which controls a supply of a liquid from the liquid container into the fluid line. The control device is designed to prompt a liquid to be supplied into the at least one fluid line as a function of the signal of the sensor. In at least one of the operational modes, the liquid supply can be prompted independently of whether a liquid filter is placed in the predetermined filter position, and in at least one other of the operational modes, the liquid supply cannot be prompted when a liquid filter is placed in the predetermined filter position.
