Abstract

See full text

A system and method for dispensing a final fluid product using optimal parameters are disclosed. The dispensing system includes a pumping system and a capsule holder operatively coupled to the pumping system, the capsule holder configured to receive a capsule containing a product to be dissolved, the capsule holder further configured to receive a fluid through the capsule from the pumping system. The capsule holder includes one or more encoding recognition systems configured to interact with encoding means of the capsule, and the encoding recognition systems determine parameters based on the encoding means. The parameters control the pumping system and are used for dispensing of the fluid through the capsule holder and through the capsule to produce the final fluid product by dissolving the product to be dissolved using the parameters. The dispensing system may further use user information to adjust the parameters.
