A system (10) for providing a stream of water that includes a surfactant, comprising a source (14) of water, means (32) to cause water to flow along a water supply duct (34), and a venturi injector (36) within the water supply duct. The venturi injector (36) communicates with an inlet duct (77) to supply surfactant; and the system comprises a surfactant supply duct (80, 83) that communicates between the inlet duct (77) and a surfactant container (18), the surfactant supply duct comprising a first portion that incorporates an on/off valve (38) and a second portion (83) that incorporates a check valve (84) to control flow. A plurality of surfactant containers (18) may be connected to the inlet duct (77) in this way; and each surfactant container 18 may be mounted within an open-topped chamber (68) to which hot water may be provided to heat the contents of the surfactant container (18).

A dispenser for a shippable container is provided, where the shippable container has a hollow body, an opening, a collar adjacent the opening, and a closure sealing the opening. The dispenser has a collar engagement portion configured to engage the collar of the shippable container, a closure engagement portion configured to engage the closure of the shippable container, and a body engagement portion configured to engage a portion of the hollow body of the shippable container. An aperture in the dispenser is configured to dispense contents from the hollow body of the shippable container. The dispenser can be configured to dispense contents from the hollow body of the shippable container when the shippable container is in an inverted position.

A water spout sanitary cover is provided. The cover is disposable and is configured to fit over a portion of the water spout to provide a sanitary layer. The cover may prevent microbial transfer between the spout, water, and a vessel being filled with water. The cover is disposable, and replaceable, and may be provided in a stacked dispenser.

The disclosure presented herein relates to a tapping device that may be used to dispense liquid from a liquid container. The tapping device may include multiple methods for attaching to a liquid container and siphoning air from outside the growler to assist in dispensing the liquid inside of the liquid container, such as by various air valves located on the tapping device's shank to allow air flow during use.

An adapter for dispensing a liquid from a container includes an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end, a probe disposed adjacent to the proximal end, the probe being configured to removably engage with an outlet opening of the container, a valve disposed adjacent to the distal end, and a passage extending through the elongate body, the passage being in fluid communication with the probe and the valve.

Improvements in a single serve point of consumption beverage dispensing valve is disclosed. The valve includes a fresh water input fitting, a carbonated water inlet fitting a vacuum pump that transfers concentrated from a flavor bullet and diffuses the concentrate with water an optionally carbonation to provide a consistent mixture. The flavor bullet manifold is self-cleaning to eliminate flavor cross-contamination. An initiation lever starts the mixing, diffusion and dispensing that is monitored and controlled with a micro water flow metering system that controls flow solenoids and dispensing of the mixed beverage.

A juice dispenser, including a first tank including a first inlet, a first outlet, and a first faucet for the first outlet, and a second tank surrounding first tank, and including a second inlet, a second outlet, and a second faucet for the second outlet, thereby the second tank is not heat insulated, and the second tank insulates the first tank and thereby after inserting heated water into the tanks, adjustable opening of the first and second faucets dispenses the water to a receptacle mixed at an adjustable temperature.
