    摘要: The present invention is directed to a dispensing machine and method for making a beverage. The dispensing machine of this invention has a delivery means which can deliver beverage precursor (26) and beverage enhancing component (26a) with a single pump (28). The method results in a beverage, such as a tea-based beverage, that has superior quality, and the dispensing machine is quieter and more energy efficient than standard beverage dispensing machines.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the system (20), apparatus, and method for controllably mixing a concentrate with a dilution substance using closed-loop feedback in order to improve the resultant substance. The conductivity of a diluted substance is sensed in order to provide feedback information for adjusting dispensing of a concentrate used to produce the resultant or diluted substance. The system includes a conductivity sensor (30), a controller (38) and a conductivity sensing circuit (48) such that the dispensing of the concentrate is controllably adjusted to maintain the resultant beverage within a desired concentration range based on conductivity sensing. The present invention also includes a method for sensing the conductivity of the resultant beverage and adjusting the dispensing of concentrate in response to the conductivity of the resultant beverage.

    摘要: The apparatus (1) for preparing a beverage with a foam layer suitable for consumption is provided with a mixing chamber (2), supply means (4) for supplying a liquid, such as water or steam, to the mixing chamber (2) and first dosing means (6) for dosed supply of a concentrate to be mixed with the liquid, such as a coffee concentrate, to the mixing chamber (2) for mixing the concentrate with the liquid in the mixing chamber (2) while foam is formed for obtaining the foamed beverage suitable for consumption. The mixing chamber (2) is designed as a whirl chamber while the supply means (4) supply the liquid to the whirl chamber (2) in such a manner that in the whirl chamber (2) a whirl is formed of the supplied fluid. The supply means (4) are provided with a second dosing device (8) for dosed supply of the liquid to the whirl chamber (2) and the apparatus (1) further provided with a control device (26) for controlling the first (6) and second (8) dosing device for preparing a predetermined amount of beverage.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a drinking device that comprises two separate compartments, a first compartment for holding a flavored beverage or a flavoring agent for reconstituting the flavored beverage and a second compartment for holding an unflavored or weakly favored beverage, and a switching mechanism that allows for the sequential consumption of beverage from the first and the second compartment such that a subject ingests, in the course of each drinking event, first a volume of the flavored beverage and thereafter a volume of the unflavored or weakly favored beverage. Drinking from the device conveys to the subject a sensory experience that is similarto that produced by a typical uniformly flavored beverage even though it only consumed a fraction of the amount of flavoring agent that it would have consumed from drinking an equivalent volume of the uniformly flavored beverage.
