Benefits of technology

[0009]While the prior art teaches that the use of a single serving ‘dose’ of coffee or tea provided in a fixed amount in a pod or small container can function as a mixing or steeping vessel, the present invention provides a means in which the beverage machine can control the blending and manufacturing process of the finished drink in a repeatable, consistent manner to achieve a designed end blend for a person; and to repeatedly and to consecutively make one of a number of such different single-serving beverages at home.
[0012]It is another object of the present invention to provide a means to control the proportion of concentrate to diluent and total volume of the created beverage.
[0015]It is a further object of the present invention to provide a means to regulate and the select the flavor of the sparkling beverage at the time the beverage is dispensed.
[0016]It is a final object of the present invention to provide all of the benefits the foregoing objects entail.

Problems solved by technology

The problems associated with the making of on-demand, metered quantity of sparkling or non-sparkling flavored waters, juices or sodas are very much different than hose hurdles presented in the making of hot beverages made by brewing, steeping or the like.
