Abstract: A removable additive assembly includes a vessel and a pump module or nozzle housing. The vessel defines an interior volume configured to hold an additive, such as a flavoring and/or nutritional (e.g., vitamin) additive. The pump includes an actuator that is configured to attach to a reciprocating coupler that can drive the pump to create cyclical intake and discharge strokes to pump the additive through the nozzle. The removable additive assembly may be a portion or component of an additive assembly that includes actuating components and one or more reciprocating couplers configured to drive one or more pumps of one or more removable additive assemblies.
