Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0000845A2] A beverage dispenser includes a control device in communication with a source of base liquid and a source of flavoring constituent for generating a simultaneous flow of the base liquid and the flavoring constituent into a mixing nozzle. The flavoring constituent may be supplied in a portable packet which contains a measured quantity of constituent for making a specified beverage serving when mixed with a controlled quantity of base liquid. The control device may be actuated by tripping an actuator lever when a container is placed under the mixing nozzle for filling it with the mixed beverage. In one embodiment, actuation of the control device causes a flow of pilot fluid under pressure to fluid operated control member in association with each source of base liquid and flavoring constituent. The pilot fluid may be supplied by the source of base fluid and may be expelled into the mixing nozzle.
