1. A dispenser for a nutritional composition comprising: a water reservoir,a water heater that heats water to a temperature between 25 and 45° C.,a water pump,a water discharge device that receives a sealed disposable capsule containing a unit dose of infant formula in a form of powder or a concentrated liquid,a bacterial filter between the water heater and the water discharge device so that the heated water passes through the filter prior to discharge from the dispenser, the water pump passes the heated water through the bacterial filter for mixing the filtered water with the infant formula to form a reconstituted infant formula and dispensing the reconstituted infant formula,means to heat surfaces of the dispenser which, in use, will come into contact with filtered water, the means to heat the surfaces provided separately from the water heater and comprising a steam generator that delivers steam to, at least, the internal surfaces downstream of the bacterial filter to clean the bacterial filter and reduce adhesion and proliferation of bacteria and formation of biofilm in the water discharge device downstream of the bacterial filter, andcontrol means that operate steam delivery from the steam generator for cleaning and reducing the adhesion and the proliferation of bacteria and the formation of biofilm, operate water heating by the water heater, and operate the water pump for dispensing the liquid infant formula. 2. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein the filter is a flat membrane filter. 3. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein the filter is located adjacent to the water discharge device so that the heated water passes though the filter prior to the discharge device. 4. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein the bacterial filter has a nominal pore size of 0.45 microns or less. 5. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein the bacterial filter has a nominal pore size between 0.1 and 0.2 microns. 6. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein the filter is directly connected to the water discharge device. 7. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein the steam generator delivers the steam to all surfaces of the water discharge device downstream of the filter that will come into contact with filtered water when the dispenser is in use. 8. The dispenser of claim 1 comprising a steriliser for baby bottles. 9. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein the steam generator is connected to an interior of the water discharge device. 10. The dispenser of claim 1 comprising an air pump connected to the water discharge device and the chamber and operable so as to flush the capsule with air after introduction of water into the capsule so as to empty the capsule of liquid and prevent back flow of liquid into the dispenser. 11. A dispenser for a nutritional composition comprising: a water reservoir,a water heater that heats water to a temperature between 25 and 45° C.,a water pump,a water discharge device that receives a sealed disposable capsule containing a unit dose of infant formula in a form of powder or a concentrated liquid,a bacterial filter between the water heater and the water discharge device so that the heated water passes through the filter prior to the discharge, the water pump passes the heated water through the bacterial filter for mixing the filtered water with the infant formula to form a reconstituted infant formula and dispensing the reconstituted infant formula,a steam generator that is separate from the water heater and delivers a steam to, at least, the internal surfaces downstream of the bacterial filter to clean the bacterial filter and reduce adhesion and proliferation of bacteria and formation of biofilm in the water discharge device downstream of the bacterial filter, anda controller that operates steam delivery from the steam generator for cleaning and reducing the adhesion and the proliferation of bacteria and the formation of biofilm, operates water heating by the water heater, and operates the water pump for dispensing the liquid infant formula. 12. A dispenser for a nutritional composition consisting of: a water reservoir,a water heater that heats water to a temperature between 25 and 45° C.,a water pump,a water discharge device that receives a sealed disposable capsule containing a unit dose of infant formula in a form of powder or a concentrated liquid,a bacterial filter between the water heater and the water discharge device so that the heated water passes though the filter prior to discharge from the dispenser, the water pump passes the heated water through the bacterial filter for mixing the filtered water with the infant formula to form a reconstituted infant formula and dispensing the reconstituted infant formula,means to heat surfaces of the dispenser which, in use, will come into contact with filtered water, the means to heat the surfaces provided separately from the water heater and comprising a steam generator that delivers steam to, at least, the internal surfaces downstream of the bacterial filter to clean the bacterial filter and reduce adhesion and proliferation of bacteria and formation of biofilm in the water discharge device downstream of the bacterial filter, anda controller that operates steam delivery from the steam generator for cleaning and reducing the adhesion and the proliferation of bacteria and the formation of biofilm, operates water heating by the water heater, and operates the water pump for dispensing the liquid infant formula. 13. The dispenser of claim 12, wherein the filter is a flat membrane filter. 14. The dispenser of claim 12, wherein the filter is located adjacent to the water discharge device so that the heated water passes though the filter prior to the discharge device. 15. The dispenser of claim 12, wherein the bacterial filter has a nominal pore size of 0.45 microns or less. 16. The dispenser of claim 12, wherein the bacterial filter has a nominal pore size between 0.1 and 0.2 microns. 17. The dispenser of claim 12, wherein the filter is directly connected to the water discharge device. 18. The dispenser of claim 12, wherein the steam generator delivers the steam to all surfaces of the water discharge device downstream of the filter that will come into contact with filtered water when the dispenser is in use.
