First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A beverage dispenser capable of dispensing one or more limited time offering beverages, comprising: a dispensing valve; a limited time offering ingredient source; a limited time offering circuit extending between the dispensing valve and the limited time offering ingredient source; wherein the limited time offering circuit comprises a stainless steel line extending between the dispensing valve and the limited time offering ingredient source; a diluent circuit; the diluent circuit extending between the dispensing valve and a diluent source; wherein the diluent circuit comprises a thermoplastic line extending between the dispensing valve and the diluent source; and a syrup circuit; the syrup circuit extending between the dispensing valve and an ingredient container; and wherein the syrup circuit comprises a thermoplastic line extending between the dispensing valve and the ingredient container. 2. The beverage dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the dispensing valve comprises non-flavor absorbing materials. 3. The beverage dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the dispensing valve comprises a flow controller, wherein the flow controller comprises non-flavor absorbing materials. 4. The beverage dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the dispensing valve comprises a solenoid, wherein the solenoid comprises non-flavor absorbing materials. 5. The beverage dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the limited time offering circuit comprises a limited time offering pump in communication with the stainless steel line. 6. The beverage dispenser of claim 5 , wherein the limited time offering pump comprises non-flavor absorbing materials. 7. The beverage dispenser of claim 5 , wherein the limited time offering pump comprises a carbon dioxide powered pump in communication with a carbon dioxide source. 8. The beverage dispenser of claim 1 , further comprises an ice chamber and wherein the stainless steel line extends through the ice chamber. 9. The beverage dispenser of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of syrup circuits. 10. The beverage dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the dispensing valve comprises a disconnectable nozzle. 11. A method of changing over a bag-in-box of a beverage dispenser, comprising: disconnecting a stainless steel line from an existing bag-in-box; placing the stainless steel line a sanitation solution; flushing the stainless steel line for a predetermined duration; disconnecting a dispensing nozzle; sanitizing the dispensing nozzle; connecting the stainless steel line to a new bag-in-box; and priming the stainless steel line. 12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising the step of disconnecting a dispensing valve from the stainless steel line.
