    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a user-operable beverage dispenser 100 having a beverage dispensing mechanism that enables dispensing of beverage by a hands-free or hands-contactless operation. A vessel-supporting shelf 110 is pivotably articulated to the housing 102 and is displaceable about a pivot axis 112 between an open state in which the shelf 110 is parallel to a base of the housing 102 and configured to support a removable vessel thereon below a dispensing outlet 118, and a closed state in which the shelf 110 is substantially parallel to a sidewall portion of the housing 102, a beverage dispensing actuation element 120 located on a sidewall portion of the housing 102; and when in the closed state of the shelf 110, a section of the shelf is aligned and in contact with said beverage dispensing actuation element 120, such that application of pressure by the vessel onto said section of the shelf 110 when in the closed state causes actuation of the beverage dispensing element 120, and when in the open state of the shelf 110, the beverage dispensing actuation element 120 is user-accessible by the vessel directly.
