A beverage dispensing apparatus is provided for mixing and discharging a beverage made of liquid and powder into a container. The beverage dispensing apparatus comprises a controller which directs a consistent water flow and a predetermined quantity of powder to a bowl having an impeller blade that stores a predetermined quantity of mixed beverage. The dispensing of the beverage is provided by a dumping valve mounted proximate to the bottom of the bowl. The dumping valve dispenses the contents of the bowl into a container when activated. Sensors are mounted in the bowl and connect the outlet pump and powder auger motor to the controller whereby a replacement beverage is made simultaneously with the dispensing of the contents of the bowl.

The apparatus of the present invention pertains to a post mix multi-station dispensing apparatus which is isolated from the fluctuations experienced in using outside supplies of water. The apparatus is provided with a single reservoir of water and, associated with each serving station, a hopper storing powder flavorant, a metering device for metering the flavorant, a holding tank for holding a beverage to be dispensed at a predetermined rate at the associated serving station, and a water delivery system. While a beverage is being dispensed from the holding tank, the water delivery system delivers water from said reservoir at a rate essentially the same as the predetermined rate to a mixing area where the water and powder flavorant is mixed in a predetermined ration of powder flavorant-to-water ratio. This newly mixed beverage is added to the holding tank at the same rate as the beverage is being dispensed.

A beverage dispenser is disclosed which controls of the delivery and mix of a liquid from its source with an ingredient. The dispenser comprises a mixer which mixes the liquid and the ingredient, the mixer being in electrical isolation from the source of the liquid. The liquid is delivered from the source to the mixer thereby providing electrical continuity between the source and the mixer. A sensor in electrical communication with a control board detects the electrical continuity between the source and the mixer. The ingredient is delivered to the mixer upon activation by the control board after the sensor detects the electrical continuity.
