Apparatus and method for producing beverages from dry ingredients

An apparatus for producing a homogenous beverage, comprising:

• a water supply;
• a tubing system;
• a dry ingredient container configured to house at least one dry ingredient, wherein the at least one dry ingredient is pre-grounded;
• a splash-back prevention unit comprising an enclosure having a dry ingredient inlet and a liquid inlet, the dry ingredient inlet being disposed centrally with respect to the liquid inlet, wherein the dry ingredient container is connected to the dry ingredient inlet and configured to supply the at least one dry ingredient into the enclosure;
• the enclosure configured to receive the at least one dry ingredient and mix the at least one dry ingredient with a liquid received from the liquid inlet to create a slurry,
• wherein the splash-back prevention unit is configured to prevent movement of the at least one dry ingredient, the liquid, and the slurry from the splash-back prevention unit to the dry ingredient container, and
• wherein the liquid inlet is configured to create a circular waterfall flowing into the enclosure;
• a mill configured to convert the slurry to a homogenous liquid, by breaking up and mixing particles of the slurry;
• a pump configured to move the slurry, the liquid, and the homogenized liquid through the tubing system;
• and
• a motor configured to control the mill.
