System for refilling beverage dispenser with powder

Beverage dispenser comprising at least one tank for storing and dosing food or beverage powder, the tank being refillable by powder, wherein the tank comprises a storing chamber and a powder inlet and said powder inlet is designed for cooperating with the powder outlet of a powder refilling container in order to create a connection and a path for powder,

• wherein the power inlet comprises at least a tube, the tube presenting an external end and an internal end, the external end being connectable to the powder outlet of the powder refilling container,
• and the tube being configured for being oriented in at least two positions:
• one first position, in which the tube is essentially horizontally oriented;
• and
• one second position, in which the tube is inclined compared to the first position and downwardly oriented from the external end to the internal end.

Method for refilling a tank for storing and dosing powder with a powder refilling container of a system for refilling the tank with powder, wherein the tank comprises a storing chamber and a powder inlet;

• the powder refilling container comprises a powder outlet, the powder outlet of the powder refilling container and the powder inlet of the tank being designed for cooperating together in order to create a connection and a path for powder between the powder outlet of the powder refilling container and the powder inlet of the tank, the connection between the powder outlet of the powder refilling container and the powder inlet of the tank is designed so that it enables the positioning of the powder outlet of the powder refilling container relatively to the powder inlet of the tank in at least two positions:
• one first position, in which powder cannot flow through the path, and one second position, in which powder is able to flow through the path, and wherein the powder inlet of the tank is movable between two positions and, once the powder outlet of the powder refilling container and the powder inlet are connected, the movement of the powder inlet induces the positioning of the powder outlet of the powder refilling container in the first or second position wherein the following steps are implemented:
• the powder outlet of the powder refilling container is connected to the powder inlet of the tank in the first position;
• and then
• the powder inlet of the tank is moved to position the powder outlet of the powder refilling container in the second position.
