A selector member is movably mounted relative to the valve body for movement between a first position in which the hot water inlet is in fluid communication with the at least first outlet, and a second position in which both the hot water inlet and the air inlet are in fluid communication with the at least first outlet. A satellite element has a predefined limited amount of free relative movement relative to the selector member for allowing the satellite element to be independently positioned between the first and second positions of the selector member. A beverage ingredient mixing unit comprises the selection valve, a beverage preparation machine including the selection valve, and/or the beverage ingredient mixing unit. A beverage preparation system comprises the beverage preparation machine and an exchangeable beverage ingredient supply cartridge.
