Kitchen appliances usually include devices such as a water system, a cooker, a kitchen hood (range hood), an oven, a refrigerator, a microwave, a dishwasher and other devices. The devices are mostly operated independent from each other. Unlike those devices the drinkable tap water-based liquid supply system according to the present invention comprises a few devices controlled by an advanced control system according to the invention for providing connectivity and system management. The system is designed to provide comfort, convenience and energy saving. The water-based liquid supply system according to the present invention provides a variety of water-based liquids, dispatched with the desired properties from a countertop faucet.

Method, device and nozzle for serving a carbonated beverage. In particular, the invention encompasses the dissolution of a concentrated syrup on a cold-water stream in a mixing ring and at a desired syrup/water ratio, the subsequent carbonation of the dissolution in a carbonation ring at a desired gas/liquid ratio, and the serving of the carbonated beverage through a specially designed serving nozzle that reduces foaming during the serving by means of a first membrane C for separating undissolved C02 bubbles from the liquid, by subsequently reducing the pressure of the liquid through a second membrane E, and by ejecting the beverage in a conical diverging stream.

A device (1) for filling a container (2) with a carbonated liquid, containing at least: an upper part (3) and a lower part (4) having a container port (5) for securing the container (2) to the device (1), wherein the lower part (4) can be displaced within limits relative to the upper part (3) between a closed position (23) and a venting position (6), and wherein the container (2) can displace the lower part (4) to the closed position (23) when the container (2) is secured to the container port (5), and the container (2) can displace the lower part (4) to the venting position (6) when the container (2) is released from the container port (5), such that a high pressure in the container (2) can be reduced in the venting position (6) of the lower part (4) prior to releasing the container (2) from the container port (5).

A mixed drink producing apparatus with a dispensing container, which is formed for receiving a liquid addable to a mixed drink by the mixed drink producing apparatus and which is connected to a dispensing unit of the mixed drink producing apparatus for conducting the liquid from the dispensing container to the dispensing unit, and with a gas adding unit, which is formed for adding a carbonizing gas to the liquid, wherein the mixed drink producing apparatus has a degassing unit, by which the liquid can be degassed from carrier gases before supplying the carbonizing gas. There is also described a household refrigeration apparatus and a method for producing a mixed drink.

Disclosed are a sparkling water mixer and a sparkling water machine. The sparkling water mixer includes a mixing channel and at least one mixing chamber communicated with the mixing channel, the mixing channel has at least two mixing sections communicated sequentially, the mixing section includes at least two sub-channels connected in parallel, inlets of the sub-channels in the same mixing section are communicated to form an inlet end of the mixing section, and outlets of the sub-channels are communicated to form an outlet end of the mixing section; an input port of the mixing chamber is communicated with an outlet of the mixing channel, and an output port of the mixing chamber is communicated with a liquid outlet of the sparkling water mixer; and a rotatable impeller and an impact part located in a periphery of the impeller and spaced apart from the impeller are provided in the mixing chamber.
