  • Publication number: 20120255950
    Abstract: Fluid packaging container of substantially rigid, or semi rigid construction. The container being configured to be operatively connectable to a beverage dispensing station. The fluid packaging container defines an interior space and contains a first volume of a liquid ingredient and a second volume of gas. In use the first and second volumes are each variable between a volume of substantially zero and a volume corresponding substantially to the interior space and being complementary to one another. Thereby the first and second volume together fill the interior space. The fluid packaging container in particular includes a fluid outlet arranged to communicate with the beverage dispensing station and pressure equalizing means for maintaining a predefined pressure in the second volume, irrespective of liquid withdrawn from the interior space.

  • Publication number: 20110183057
    Abstract: A foaming device for a drink including a housing defining an internal volume for housing secondary liquid and a source of foaming gas. A nozzle communicates between the internal volume and an exterior of the housing and a plug seals the nozzle so as to prevent communication between the internal volume and the exterior of the housing. By releasing the plug, the secondary liquid can be released into the drink such that the foaming gas forms bubbles of secondary liquid in the drink and proteins/constituents within one or both of the primary liquid and the secondary liquid denature so as to create a stable foam.
