A device (3) for metering a base liquid and mixing this base liquid with a diluent to prepare a food product, has a connecting portion for connecting it with a container (4) containing the base liquid, the device (3) including: a diluent inlet (71), a mixing chamber (80) for mixing the base liquid w
A device (3) for metering a base liquid and mixing this base liquid with a diluent to prepare a food product, has a connecting portion for connecting it with a container (4) containing the base liquid, the device (3) including: a diluent inlet (71), a mixing chamber (80) for mixing the base liquid with the diluent. An actively controlled air inlet is provided for selectively having ambient air enter the device and guiding it to the container (4). A controller is provided for selectively metering the base liquid into the mixing chamber and for selectively enabling an air flow through the air inlet only during periods when no base liquid is metered into the mixing chamber.

1. A device for dispensing a liquid from a container comprising: an inlet for the liquid from the container and a liquid outlet,control means provided which control metering of the liquid from the container to the liquid outlet and control a flow of air into the container during at least a period in which no liquid is allowed to leave the container and flow through the liquid outlet,an inlet for a diluent,a mixing chamber for mixing a second liquid with the diluent and the liquid coming from the liquid outlet, anda dispensing outlet for dispensing a mixture of the liquid and the diluent. 2. A device for dispensing a liquid from a container comprising: an inlet for the liquid from the container and a liquid outlet, andcontrol means provided which control metering of the liquid from the container to the liquid outlet and control a flow of air into the container during at least a period in which no liquid is allowed to leave the container and flow through the liquid outlet, wherein the control means comprise a valve member controlling a flow of air into the device and to the container, wherein the control means comprise a pump for metering the liquid from the container, and wherein the pump is a rotary positive displacement pump. 3. A device for dispensing a liquid from a container comprising: an inlet for the liquid from the container and a liquid outlet,control means provided which control metering of the liquid from the container to the liquid outlet and control a flow of air into the container during at least a period in which no liquid is allowed to leave the container and flow through the liquid outlet, wherein the control means comprise a valve member controlling a flow of air into the device and to the container, and wherein the control means comprise a pump for metering the liquid from the container, anda cap comprising two half-shells assembled one another and configured to encompass the pump and the valve member and to define a contour of the mixing chamber. 4. The device according to claim 3, wherein an actuating part of the valve member and connecting part of the pump are positioned on the same half shell. 5. The device according to claim 4, comprising at least one referential support means intended for a removable connection of the cap to a docking station of the device. 6. The device according to claim 5, wherein the docking station comprises: an electrical motor, a drive shaft and a drive connector designed to removably connect to the connecting part of the pump,an actuator configured to selectively engage the actuating part of the valve member, andat least one guiding means that is complementarily engaging the guiding means of the cap. 7. A device for dispensing a liquid from a container, the device comprising: an inlet for the liquid from the container,a liquid outlet,control means for actively controlling a flow of air into the container as a function of a volume of liquid dispensed,an inlet for a diluent,a mixing chamber for mixing a second liquid with the diluent and the liquid coming from the liquid outlet, anda dispensing outlet for dispensing a mixture of the liquid and the diluent. 8. A device for dispensing a liquid from a container, the device comprising: an inlet for the liquid from the container,a liquid outlet, andcontrol means for actively controlling the flow of air into the container as a function of a volume of liquid dispensed, wherein the control means comprise a valve member controlling a flow of air into the device and to the container, wherein the control means comprise a pump for metering the liquid from the container, and wherein the pump is a rotary positive displacement pump.
