Abstract (en)
The invention is a beverage dispensing system wherein concentrated syrup and diluent are dispensed from a machine into a cup to provide a beverage. The syrup is contained in a package (36) which is removable from the machine and the package has an outlet tube (38) which is deformed by a mechanism (58) of the machine to open and close the tube for the dispensing of the syrup. At the same time the mechanism opens and closes a diluent valve (56) so that the diluent flows and syrup flows, in predetermined proportions, at the same time. The two flows of diluent and syrup emerge from the machine from outlets (28,38) which are spaced so that the two flows do not mix in the machine, but the outlets are sufficiently close so that they can be caught in the same cup to provide the beverage.
