Abstract
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.
