- the present invention facilitates the communication to a user. He or she will not have to scrutinize the machine and focus his or her attention on various parts thereof to find out about the existence of such a condition, let alone the type of condition. The existence of the condition and its nature will be immediately apparent to the user even from a distance, typically several meters away from the machine .
- Letting a user know, in advance, at a time when the user is not immediately expecting being served a cup of liquid food or beverage, for example while walking towards the machine, that he or she will also have to deal with a specific condition of the machine, will save the user frustration and stress. In particular, this will save the user the frustration and stress caused by the non execution of a request for a liquid food or beverage, or the frustration of being in the psychological process of requesting the serving of a beverage or liquid food and having to find out at the last moment that the machine is in no condition yet to fulfil such an expectations .
- providing a machine with an indicator of the existence of a condition that visually stands out in such a manner that it is immediately apparent even for a non previously warned or alerted user increases the cognitive ergonomics, the perception affecting the interaction between the user and the machine in a manner to lower the stress or frustration relating to the use of the machine and ease the interaction with the machine.
- the liquid food or beverage machine may have a plurality of illuminatable outer faces, in particular a number of illuminatable outer faces in the range of 2 to 5 or 6, such as 3 to 4, the control unit being optionally arranged to communicate a plurality of conditions via this plurality of faces.
