Dairy-based beverage dispenser, method for dispensing hot, dairy-based beverages and disposable container for dairy-based liquids

摘要

The invention relates to a beverage dispenser (10) for dispensing hot dairy-based beverages that has a self-contained refrigerated unit (18) located above a venturi-type emulsification foaming head (40). In addition to carton and/or plastic milk containers, the refrigeration unit can also accommodate a "bag in box" cold milk storage container. The refrigerated milk is stored above the level of the foamer head so that the flow of milk results partially from gravitational force on the milk, and is not totally dependent upon venturi suction created in the foamer head. The invention also relates to a method for emulsifying dairy-based liquids with other liquids and a disposable container for dairy-based liquids. IMAGE
