Abstract
A method for operating a drink maker within a vehicle. The method includes placing a cup on a seating associated with a heating mechanism, the cup containing a liquid and an essence, wherein the liquid and the essence are separated by a ring-shaped partition, automatically sensing a presence of the cup on the seating, turning on a heating mechanism for warming the liquid, sensing a temperature relating to the temperature of the liquid, and turning off the heating mechanism upon sensing a first predetermined temperature, mixing the liquid and the essence and inserting a stirrer through the ring upon warming to a second predetermined temperature lower than the first predetermined temperature, stirring the liquid with the stirrer, and removing the cup from said seating.
