Abstract: Various exemplary agitators for a carbonation system, systems including an agitator for a carbonation system, and methods including an agitator for a carbonation system are provided. In general, an agitator is configured to rotate in a chamber to mix together a gas, such as carbon dioxide, and a liquid, such as water, to form a carbonated fluid. The agitator includes a plurality of paddles configured to encourage the mixing of the gas and the fluid by agitating the gas and the liquid during the agitator's rotation. Each of the arms has an angled outer tip to facilitate the efficient mixing. The agitator includes a hollow shaft through which the gas is configured to flow during the agitator's rotation. The agitator can be part of a carbonation system configured to dispense the carbonated fluid as a beverage.

Abstract: A fluid texturing device is provided for use with a beverage brewing apparatus. In one embodiment, the fluid texturing device can include a housing a housing extending between a first end and a second end. The fluid texturing device can also include a hollow driveshaft arranged within the housing and having an air path extending from the first end to the second end of the housing. The hollow driveshaft can include a coupling arranged therein and axially movable within the hollow driveshaft such that the coupling can variably block the air path to prevent a flow of air through the air path. The fluid texturing device can also include a whisk assembly removably coupled to the second end of the housing and including a whisk mated to the driveshaft such that the driveshaft can rotate the whisk.
