Beverage dispensing system with a head capable of dispensing plural different beverages

An apparatus comprising:

• a base having a plurality of base conduits through which separate fluid streams are permitted to flow and a plurality of base valves, each base valve located in a separate one of the base conduits and positioned to normally block fluid flow out of the base conduit;
• a plurality of dispensing heads each having:
• a set of passageways, the set of passageways configured to be coupled to a set of the base conduits;
• a set of dispensing valves associated with each of the set of passageways for regulating fluid flow through each passageway in the set of passageways;
• wherein at least one dispensing valve of each of the plurality of dispensing heads is configured to dispense a beverage through the plurality of dispensing heads so that the beverage is formed from a set of beverage-forming fluids;
• and
• wherein each of the plurality of dispensing heads is different from each other and is configured to be placed at the same location on the base to dispense a different beverage from a set of beverage-forming fluids.

• a dispensing valve associated with each of the set of passageways for regulating fluid flow through each passageway in the set of passageways;
• and
• a set of valve actuators, each valve actuator being associated with a separate passageway in the set of passageways;
• configuring the set of valve actuators to be placed into contact with the base valves of the set of base conduits so that each of the set of valve actuators is positioned to open a corresponding base valve;
• and
• wherein each of the dispensing heads are configured for dispensing a beverage different from each of the remaining dispensing heads and wherein each dispensing head is configured to be placed at the same location on the base;
• wherein each dispensing head has a set of valve actuators having a different arrangement from each other to dispense different beverages.
