- a first inlet for fluid connection to a refrigeration system of the machine;
- a first outlet for fluid connection to the refrigerant system;
- a first refrigerant path extending through the evaporator from the first inlet to the first outlet for flowing refrigerant of the refrigerant system through a first portion of the evaporator;
- a second inlet for fluid connection to the refrigeration system;
- a second outlet for fluid connection to the refrigerant system;
- and
- a second refrigerant path extending through the evaporator from the second inlet to the second outlet for flowing refrigerant of the refrigerant system through a second portion of the evaporator,
- wherein the refrigeration system is operable to pump refrigerant through the first and second refrigerant paths to cool the ingredients to assist in producing the single serving of the cooled food or drink.
