Abstract: A method of producing aroma enhanced gas for use in a beverage making machine, to make a beverage, includes producing an enhanced aroma solid gas source using at least an enhancing compound as part of an ingredient, forming an aroma precipitate through conversion of an aroma vapor released during a preparation process which utilizes at least the ingredient, and mixing predefined ratio of the aroma precipitate with a solid gas source to form an aroma enhanced solid gas source. Exemplary embodiments include allowing the aroma enhanced solid gas source to sublimate emitting an aroma enhanced gas, dissolving a portion of the aroma enhanced gas into the beverage diluent liquid, and mixing the beverage diluent liquid in predefined ratio with at least one of a beverage ingredient to form a beverage.
