A soft drink dispenser capable of rapidly dispensing carbonated beverages with minimized foaming action. The syrup and soda are dispensed separate from each other and allowed to mix upon the ice in a cup placed beneath the dispensing head. The dispensing of the syrup and soda is staged to minimize foaming while achieving optimum beverage taste. Syrup is dispensed from individual pumps which communicate with a bulk supply. The syrup is consolidated in the pumps, preventing waste or the introduction of “slugs”into the dispensing line. The temperature of the syrup is monitored and compensation is made during the dispensing cycle to accommodate changes in viscosity. In generating soda, water is precooled and then introduced into an insulated tank where it is subjected to pressurized carbon dioxide. In the pour head, a cluster of soda orifices are peripherally encompassed by syrup orifices, certain of which are angled to cause the syrup to convolute the stream of soda. The syrup is spaced from the soda and maintains a spaced relationship until entry into the cup or glass.

A beverage dispenser, comprising: a pour head; first means for dispensing a soda through said pour head; second means for dispensing a flavoring syrup through said pour head; control means interconnected between said first and second means for regulating timed periods of dispensing said soda and flavoring syrup through said pour head during a dispensing cycle to obtain a desired drink; and wherein said pour head comprises a plurality of soda-dispensing passages arranged in a geometric pattern encompassed by a plurality of syrup-dispensing passages, at least certain of said syrup-dispensing passages extending at an angle through said pour head with respect to said soda-dispensing passages, such that projected extensions of said certain syrup-dispensing passages do not intersect with a center of said geometric pattern and syrup from said certain syrup-dispensing passages tracks along side of a flow of soda from said soda-dispensing passages in spaced relationship therefrom, said flow of syrup convoluting said flow of soda.
