Abstract
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.
