Systems and methods for bottle apparatuses, container assemblies, and dispensing apparatuses

Bottle apparatuses, storage containers used in bottle apparatuses, beverage dispensing apparatuses, and methods of making and using the same are disclosed. A bottle apparatus can include a vessel defining a chamber, and a neck portion attached to an upper end of the vessel; a base portion attached to a lower end of the vessel; a pouch support attached to the neck portion; a pod mounted within and supported by the pouch support, the pod including a pouch top having an inlet and a pouch mounted onto the pouch top, and the pouch support and the pouch top collectively forming a well such that liquid can be deposited into the well and flow into the pouch through the inlet; a pump controlled by a controller for pumping air in and out of the chamber; and a pressure sensor in communication with the controller for measuring pressure in the chamber.
