Estimating the term…
The present disclosure includes a milk heating system, methods, and apparatus for combining milk, which is heated, ambient, or chilled, selectively with or without being infused with air, and selectively dispensed with or without flavorings. The apparatus and method disclosed includes structures for selectively combining milk with air and flavorings to dispense a selected combination of ingredients. The assembly includes a dispensing head assembly having a flavoring dispensing component and a milk dispensing component. The flavoring dispensing component can be coupled to the milk dispensing component for combining ingredients and dispensing into a container. The milk dispensing component includes a single path for the introduction of a flow of milk and a single path for the introduction of steam. The milk path and steam path are oriented to be fed into an intermediate passage which communicates with a swirl cavity defined by the mixing chamber. The introduction of milk and steam is controlled to provide a variety of selected conditions of the resulting combination. The flavor dispensing component introduces flavorings at least partially downstream from the mixing of the milk and steam to produce one or more flavorings with the milk component.

A method of dispensing milk for use with a beverage ingredient or as a beverage.
An apparatus for dispensing milk including a mounting base which communicates with a steam line and a milk line;
A dual milk and steam dispensing component coupled to a mounting base and communicating with the milk line and steam line;
A flavor dispensing system which includes a flavor dispensing manifold having a plurality of flavor ingredient valve assemblies for controllably dispensing a flavor ingredient into another ingredient for producing a flavored beverage.
A milk dispensing and flavor dispensing device for producing a milk ingredient for dispensing into a beverage and a flavor ingredient for dispensing proximate to or into the milk ingredient, the flavor dispensing portion introducing the flavor ingredient, downstream from the production of the milk portion to prevent cross contamination of the flavoring with the milk ingredient.
