    Abstract: An automatic machine for preparing infusion beverages has a housing and an infusion vessel inserted or insertable into the housing. The infusion vessel has a lower inner surface and a lateral inner surface, which together define an interior space serving to receive infusion material and water, as well as an outlet opening. For discharging the infusion beverage from the infusion vessel, an outlet conduit is connected or connectable to the outlet opening. An outlet valve is provided to open or close, the discharge of the infusion beverage through the outlet conduit. The automatic machine also has an inlet device for admitting a liquid into the infusion vessel, which is configured in such a way that the liquid flows uniformly over the lateral inner surface into the interior of the infusion vessel. A method for the automatic cleaning of an infusion vessel used for the preparation of an infusion beverage is also disclosed.
