Abstract
A beverage delivery system is provided. The system allows a user to easily and repeatedly retrieve a desired volume of refrigerated beverage at a desired temperature and at a desired time all by using one hand and without the need to leave their seat. A container portion houses refrigerated fluid containers and pumps that are fluidly interconnected to a cup holder and cup. The cup received in the cup holder may be moved from an inactive configuration to an active configuration, selectively delivering refrigerated fluid from the container portion's fluid containers and through the bottom plate of the cup, which is sealed in the inactive configuration.
