Examples disclosed herein relate to a dispensing device including a product unit with a pressure which transmits one or more products to an infuser, a water source with one or more CFValves that transmits water to the infuser, a gas source which transmits one or more gases to the infuser, and a dispensing area which dispenses a mixture generated via the infuser from a product unit input, a water source input, and a gas source input.

The present application provides a dispensing nozzle assembly for mixing a first fluid and a second fluid. The dispensing nozzle assembly may include a target assembly with a number of fins and a number of channels and a static mixer positioned about the fins.

A beverage dispensing apparatus including at least one multiple lever-switching assembly where the lever assembly has a plurality of levers and valves configured to dispense fluids, flavorings, syrups, and optionally pressurized gas through one or more channels in each of the assemblies. The levers are part of a mechanical hydraulic system, that is not reliant on electrical connections to control or regulate the dispensing of fluids. Each set of levers can operate independently or in combination with other levers on the assembly, and can further actuate individual valves or more than one valve within the body of each assembly.

A beverage dispensing device prepares and dispenses a beverage. The dispensing device includes a housing which has a beverage unit with a liquid inlet and a beverage outlet. The beverage unit has a receiving means for at least one container containing a unit dose of concentrated beverage ingredient to be dispensed, and an ingredient discharge. The beverage unit has a liquid line. The liquid line first section extends from the base liquid inlet to receiving means liquid inlet to guide base liquid into the unit dose of beverage ingredient through the beverage discharge into the liquid line second section that extends from the ingredient discharge to the beverage outlet. A mixing chamber is defined in the liquid line. Temperature regulating means are provided in the mixing chamber or in that the mixing chamber comprises an inlet for pressurized fluid for expanding said fluid in said mixing chamber.

A beverage dispensing device has a housing with a beverage unit with a liquid inlet and a beverage outlet. The beverage unit has a receiving means for receiving at least two ingredient containers containing a unit dose of an ingredient of the beverage to be dispensed. The beverage unit also has a liquid line in fluid communication with a base liquid source, with the contents of the ingredient containers, when correctly installed in the device, and with the beverage outlet. The liquid line is split into two side lines at a point A, downstream the liquid inlet. Both side lines join in fluid communication at a point B, downstream point A and upstream the beverage outlet, at least one of the ingredient containers in liquid communication with the liquid line at a point M1 downstream point A and upstream point B.

A beverage dispensing assembly for preparing and dispensing a beverage has a source of pressurized base liquid containing dissolved CO.sub.2, N.sub.2 or N.sub.2O and a gas pressure of at least 0.5 bar overpressure at 2° C. A beverage unit with a liquid flow path has a liquid inlet at one end in fluid communication with the base liquid in the base liquid source and a beverage outlet at an opposite end. An ingredient container receiving means has an ingredient container installed so the contents are in fluid communication with the liquid flow path for mixing the contents with a base liquid in the liquid flow path. A gas pressure regulation unit has a pressure chamber in the liquid flow path downstream of the communication between the liquid flow path and the ingredient container contents. A gas ingredient inlet is in fluid communication with the pressure chamber.

An embodiment system and method for dispensing multiple dairy products includes a dispenser which houses two or more dairy product bases with different formulations, which may be combined with or without water to create a multitude of homogenous dairy beverages. The two or more dairy product bases may be mixed together first and then separately mixed with water, mixed together simultaneously with water, or mixed together without adding water. They may be mixed together with or without additional flavoring, ingredients, mineral or nutritional additives. The dispenser comprises a pump with a quick-release mechanism to allow for quick and clean maintenance of the system.

A liquid dispenser is provided. The liquid dispenser includes a housing; a temperature control system; and a pump system. The pump system pumps multiple liquids. A method of dispensing a liquid into a beverage is also provided. A liquid dispenser includes a valve, a pump, and a nozzle. A liquid is selected from multiple liquids and a beverage shade is selected. The valve and the pump are activated to deliver the selected liquid to the nozzle in an amount that achieves the selected beverage shade.

A machine (1) for preparing beverages and presenting a plurality of beverage concentrate cartridges (2) provided to collect a respective beverage concentrate (3), and a concentrate discharge device (4) adapted so that can interact with each one of said beverage concentrate cartridges (2), whereby said beverage concentrate cartridges (2) are provided so that the beverage concentrate (3) is discharged, from the discharge part (22) of each of said beverage concentrate cartridges (2), directly to the exterior of said machine (1), in particular into a beverage recipient (A) that can be placed on the discharge zone of a service disposition (11), without touching in any other part of the machine (1). Also, a process for preparing beverages based upon the machine (1) for preparing beverages.

A dispenser can include: an optional water source inlet; a plurality of supplement cartridges including a supplement composition; at least one dispenser fluidly coupled with the optional water source inlet and plurality of supplement cartridges; a formulation mechanism operably coupled with the optional water source inlet and supplement cartridges, wherein the formulation mechanism is configured for regulating fluid flow from the optional water source inlet and the supplement cartridges to the dispenser; an input device configured to receive input from a user; and a dispenser controller. The dispenser controller can be configured to: receive identification information from a user via the input device; obtain a supplement dosage formulation for the user based on a personalized supplement protocol; and control dispensing of water and supplement composition(s) to provide the supplement dosage formulation to the user.
