A control system for use with a drink dispenser comprises a mode switch for causing the control system to switch between operation in a program mode and a dispense mode. Volumetric parameter data is provided by a volumetric parameter generator and is representative of dispensed drink volume. A memory stores the volumetric parameter data. A controller is coupled to the mode switch, the memory and the volumetric parameter generator and causes the volumetric parameter data to be stored in the memory while the control system is operating in the program mode and causes drink volume to be dispensed as a function of the stored volumetric parameter data while the control system is operating in the dispense mode.

A control system for controlling a drink dispenser, comprising: a mode switch for selecting program and dispense modes of operation; a plurality of dispenser buttons, each corresponding to a different desired drink volume, for causing the desired drink volume to be dispensed, in the program mode, by causing activation of the dispenser until a main drink volume is dispensed, de-activation of the dispenser until drink foam settles and re-activation of the dispenser until a top-off drink volume is dispensed, and for causing the desired drink volume to be dispensed during the dispense mode; a volumetric parameter generator for providing volumetric parameter data representative of dispensed drink volume; memory means for storing the volumetric parameter data; and a controller, coupled to the dispenser buttons, the mode switch, the volumetric parameter generator and the memory means, for causing volumetric parameter data, representative of the drink volume dispensed during the program mode in response to activation of the dispenser by each dispense button, to be stored in the memory means and for causing drink volume to be dispensed as a function of the stored volumetric parameter data in response to activation of a dispense button in the dispense mode.
