Abstract
A beverage dispensing apparatus which is compact and easy to use and maintain. The apparatus can dispense hot water, chilled water, carbonated water, a first mixed carbonated beverage, and a second mixed carbonated beverage at a single beverage dispensing station. The apparatus receives culinary water from an external source and includes structures for purifying the culinary water. All of the beverages dispensed from the apparatus utilize the purified water. The purified water is stored and chilled in a water holding tank. A carbon dioxide tank, a carbonation receptacle configured to carbonate water, and beverage concentrate receptacles holding soft drink syrups and the like, are all located in the chilled water so that the carbonated water and the beverage concentrates are chilled also.
