An apparatus for dispensing milk-based beverages comprises a milk container (4), a pump (8) for conveying the milk from the milk container (4) to a milk outlet (20), supply means (13, 14) for supplying at least one flavoring agent to the milk and means for mixing the at least one flavoring agent wit
An apparatus for dispensing milk-based beverages comprises a milk container (4), a pump (8) for conveying the milk from the milk container (4) to a milk outlet (20), supply means (13, 14) for supplying at least one flavoring agent to the milk and means for mixing the at least one flavoring agent with the milk. To this end, a coolable cabinet (2), into which the milk container (4) can be inserted, is arranged in a housing (1). Via a hose line (7), the milk in the milk container (4) reaches a mixing apparatus (9) in a meterable quantity, conveyed by the pump (8) disposed in the hose line (7). At least one flavoring agent is able to be additionally supplied in a metered manner into the mixing apparatus via the supply means (13, 14), and is able to be mixed with the milk; the mixed beverage thus obtained reaches, via an outlet (20), a vessel (21) which can be provided beneath this outlet (20). Flavored cold milk-based beverages can thereby be produced in an optimal way.

1. An apparatus for dispensing milk-based beverages, comprising a cooled milk container filled with cooled milk, a pump for conveying a first metered quantity of said cooled milk from said milk container, a supplying device for supplying a second metered quantity of at least one flavoring agent from a powder flavoring agent container containing flavoring agent in powder form or from a liquid flavoring agent container containing flavoring agent in liquid form, or from both said powder flavoring agent container containing said flavoring agent in powder form and said liquid flavoring agent container containing said flavoring agent in liquid form, a mixing apparatus to which said cooled milk is conveyed, wherein the mixing apparatus is provided with an open receptacle, a chute extending from said powder flavoring agent container to above said open receptacle through which said flavoring agent in powder form can be supplied to said mixing apparatus, said open receptacle being accessible so that the at least one flavoring agent can be supplied to said mixing apparatus by a spoon, a discharge hose extending from said liquid flavoring agent container to above said open receptacle through which said flavoring agent in liquid form can be supplied to said mixing apparatus, further comprising a housing and a cabinet cooled by a cooling unit, for receiving said cooled milk container, said cabinet being disposed in said housing, whereby said cooled milk container is connected to said mixing apparatus by a first hose line in which said pump for conveying said cooled milk is disposed, whereby said mixing apparatus comprises a mixing and pumping wheel and is connected to an outlet thereby mixing said conveyed cooled milk with said supplied at least one flavoring agent within said mixing apparatus to produce a flavored milk and, at the same time as said mixing, dispensing said flavored milk into a vessel which is placed under said outlet, wherein a furcation is disposed in said first hose line between said milk container and said pump, and a second hose line is connected to said first hose line at said furcation for introducing rinse water and/or a cleaning agent into said first hose line, and two closing valves are provided one of which closing valves is disposed in said first hose line before said furcation in a direction of flow of the milk, and the other of which closing valves is disposed in the second hose line, wherein said pump and/or said mixing apparatus are cleaned by separating said first hose line from said milk container with said closing valve disposed in said first hose line and introducing said rinse water and/or said cleaning agent into said separated first hose line. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said powder flavoring agent container has an outlet, in which a feed screw is installed, which is driven by a motor and supplies said mixing device with said second metered quantity of said at least one flavoring agent in powder form. 3. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said liquid flavoring agent container is closed and has an interior which is connected to an air pump by an air hose, wherein the at least one flavoring agent in liquid form is pushed to said mixing apparatus through said discharge hose by pumping air into said liquid flavoring agent container by said air pump through said air hose. 4. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein a plurality of said supplying devices and said containers for supplying a plurality of the at least one flavoring agent in powder form and/or liquid form are connected to said mixing apparatus. 5. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein a control unit is provided, which is connected to said pump and to said supplying device for controlling said first metered quantity of said milk and said second metered quantity of the at least one flavoring agent. 6. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein a control unit is provided, which is connected to said pump, said supplying device, and said closing valves for controlling said first metered quantity of said milk, said second metered quantity of the at least one flavoring agent and said cleaning by introducing said rinse water and/or said cleaning agent. 7. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein a device for delivering portions of finely crushed ice is disposed in the region of said outlet, and said device is connected to a control unit, wherein said device delivers portions of the finely crushed ice into said vessel positioned under said outlet under control of the control unit. 8. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein a device for dispensing ice cream, in particular soft ice cream, is disposed in the region of the mixing apparatus, such that the ice cream can be introduced in portions into the open receptacle of said mixing apparatus to be mixed with the supplied milk. 9. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein a payment system is provided, into which an amount may be entered in the form of cash or other means of payment, and which is connected to a control unit for controlling the operation of said apparatus such that said flavored milk is only prepared and dispensed when a predetermined amount of cash or other means of payment is entered into said payment system. 10. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein a furcation is provided in said first hose line after said pump, and a branched-off line runs from said furcation to an emulsifying device, which dispenses emulsified milk into said vessel by means of a discharge line. 11. The apparatus according to claim 10 wherein two blocking valves are provided, one of which said blocking valves is disposed in said first hose line after said furcation and the other of which said blocking valves is disposed in said branched-off line, which blocking valves are connected to a control unit. 12. A beverage system comprising a coffee machine with a first outlet and an apparatus for dispensing milk-based beverages according to claim 1 with said outlet being a second outlet, whereby said first outlet is disposed adjacent to said second outlet, so that coffee and/or a milk-based beverage can be dispensed into the vessel placed under said first and second outlets.
