Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3925929A1] Drink dispensing device for dispensing a drink from a tap (4). The device comprises a plurality of proximity sensors (12,10,8) each for outputting a respective activation signal when a user moves a body part within a sensing range thereof. A controller (1) for receiving activation signals from the plurality of proximity sensors (12,10,8) and controlling the dispensing of drink from the tap (4) in response thereto. The plurality of proximity sensors (12,10,8) comprise a first proximity sensor (12) associated with a first drink. The controller (1) is configured to initiate the dispensing of the first drink in response to receiving a sequence of activation signals output by the first proximity sensor (12), and to subsequently stop the dispensing of the first drink in response to receiving an activation signal output by any of the plurality of proximity sensors (12,10,8).
