A machine for forming a beverage where the water heater is turned off before the water is emptied out of the reservoir

A beverage forming machine is disclosed. The machine comprises a brew chamber (1) for receiving a beverage cartridge, a reservoir (5) for receiving precursor liquid for use in forming a beverage, a brew indication switch (91) for receiving an indication from a user to begin a brewing cycle, a heater (94) for heating precursor liquid in the reservoir, a detector (93) for detecting a desired temperature of precursor liquid in the reservoir, an air pump (92) for providing pressurized air to the reservoir and a controller (9) constructed and arranged to control operation of the heater (94) and the air pump (92). The controller (9) is adapted to control the heater (94) to heat the precursor liquid and cause the air pump (92) to deliver pressurized air to the reservoir (5) in response to the detector (93) detecting that the precursor liquid is at the desired temperature.
