A support for a container for receiving beverages from a spout of a machine for the production of beverages, where the support includes a first resting surface and a second surface with is hingedly attached to the first resting surface for positioning the two surfaces at different heights. In particular, the two resting surfaces are positioned on top of one another in a first position to accommodate a first cup between the second resting surface and the spout. Further, the two resting surfaces are positioned away from one another in a second position to accommodate a second cup between the first resting surface and the spout, where the second cup is taller than the first cup.

1. A support for a container for receiving beverages from a spout in a machine for production of beverages, the support comprising: a first resting surface;a second resting surface which is hingedly attached to the first resting surface for positioning the first resting surface and the second resting surface at different heights, the second resting surface being on top of the first resting surface in a first position where the second resting surface covers the first resting surface for providing a first distance between the spout and the second resting surface to accommodate a first cup between the second resting surface and the spout; anda tray for collection of residual liquids received from said first and second resting surfaces,wherein the second resting surface is rotatable about an axis of a hinge away from the first resting surface to second position to expose the first resting surface for providing a second distance between the spout and the first resting surface to accommodate a second cup between the first resting surface and the spout, and wherein the second cup is taller than the first cup, andwherein the first resting surface includes drainage channels having walls separated by a floor which is raised above a bottom of the tray, the walls of the drainage channels being raised above the floor for drainage of the residual liquids from the floor through ends of the drainage channels into the bottom of the tray which is below the drainage channels. 2. The support according to of claim 1, wherein the axis is orthogonal to said first and second resting surfaces. 3. The support of claim 1, wherein said first resting surface is fixed with respect to said tray. 4. The support of claim 3, wherein said first resting surface is set in a fixed position within said tray. 5. The support of claim 3, wherein said first resting surface has a grill structure for discharging the residual liquids into said tray. 6. The support of claim 1, wherein said second resting surface has a grill structure with through openings for discharging the residual liquids into said tray. 7. The support of claim 1, wherein said second resting surface is provided with an edge facing said tray, when the second resting surface is set on top of said tray, said edge forming, with said tray and said second resting surface, a closed space. 8. The support of claim 1, wherein said second resting surface comprises a removable grill and an element for retention of said removable grill, the element for retention being constrained to said tray. 9. A machine for the production of beverages comprising: at least one spout for dispensing the beverage;a support for a container for receiving the beverage, wherein the container includes at least one of a cup and a tray positioned underneath said at least one spout;a first resting surface; anda second resting surface which is hingedly attached to the first resting surface for positioning the first resting surface and the second resting surface at different heights, the second resting surface being on top of the first resting surface in a first position where the second resting surface covers the first resting surface for providing a first distance between the at least one spout and the second resting surface to accommodate a first cup between the second resting surface and the at least one spout,wherein the second resting surface is rotatable about an axis of a hinge away from the first resting surface to second position to expose the first resting for providing a second distance between the at least one spout and the first resting surface to accommodate a second cup between the first resting surface and the at least one spout, and wherein the second cup is taller than the first cup, andwherein the first resting surface includes drainage channels having walls separated by a floor which is raised above a bottom of the tray, the walls of the drainage channels being raised above the floor for drainage of the residual liquids from the floor through ends of the drainage channels into the bottom of the tray which is below the drainage channels. 10. The machine of claim 9, wherein the axis is orthogonal to said first and second resting surfaces. 11. The machine of claim 9, wherein said first resting surface is fixed with respect to said tray. 12. The machine of claim 11, wherein said first resting surface is set in a fixed position within said tray. 13. The machine of claim 11, wherein said first resting surface has a grill structure for discharging residual the liquids into said tray. 14. The machine of claim 9, wherein said second resting surface has a grill structure with through openings for discharging the residual liquids into said tray. 15. The machine of claim 12, wherein said second resting surface is provided with an edge facing said tray, when the second resting surface is set on top of said tray, said edge forming, with said tray and said second resting surface, a closed space. 16. The machine of claim 9, wherein said second resting surface comprises a removable grill and an element for retention of said removable grill, the retention element being constrained to said tray. 17. The support for a container for receiving beverages from a spout in a machine for production of beverages, the support comprising: a first resting surface;a second resting surface which is hingedly attached to the first resting surface for positioning the first resting surface and the second resting surface at different heights, the second resting surface being on top of the first resting surface in a first position where the second resting surface covers the first resting surface for providing a first distance between the spout and the second resting surface to accommodate a first cup between the second resting surface and the spout; anda tray for collection of residual liquids received from said first and second resting surfaces,wherein the second resting surface is rotatable about an axis of a hinge away from the first resting surface to second position to expose the first resting surface for providing a second distance between the spout and the first resting surface to accommodate a second cup between the first resting surface and the spout, and wherein the second cup is taller than the first cup, andwherein the hinge extends from an interior portion of the tray where the residual liquids are collected. 18. The support of claim 17, wherein the hinge is received by an opening at an interior part of a retention element that supports the second resting surface. 19. A machine for the production of beverages comprising: at least one spout for dispensing the beverage;a support for a container for receiving the beverage, wherein the container includes at least one of a cup and a tray positioned, underneath said at least one spout;a first resting surface; anda second resting surface which is hingedly attached to the first resting surface for positioning the first resting surface and the second resting surface at different heights, the second resting surface being on top of the first resting surface in a first position where the second resting surface covers the first resting surface for providing a first distance between the at least one spout and the second resting surface to accommodate a first cup between the second resting surface and the at least one spout,wherein the second resting surface is rotatable about an axis of a hinge away from the first resting surface to second position to expose the first resting for providing a second distance between the at least one spout and the first resting surface to accommodate a second cup between the first resting surface and the at least one spout, and wherein the second cup is taller than the first cup, andwherein the hinge extends from an interior portion of the tray where the residual liquids are collected. 20. The machine of claim 19, wherein the hinge received by an opening at an interior part of a retention element that supports the second resting surface.
