Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A beverage making and dispensing apparatus for controllably preparing batches of beverage. The beverage making and dispensing apparatus includes a housing, a controller, a user interface carried on the housing and operatively associated with the controller. A beverage making engine is associated with the housing and is controllably operated by the controller. The brew engine controllably receives a predetermined quantity of beverage making substance and beverage making liquid for producing a predetermined beverage. At least a plurality of reservoirs are individually, operatively associated with the apparatus and retained in the housing. Each reservoir is controllably operatively in communication with the beverage making engine to controllably, individually receive separate batches of beverage produced by the beverage making engine. Beverage is selectively, controllably dispensable from each reservoir on demand by selective controllable operation of a dispensing valve communicating with each reservoir.
