1. A control device comprising:
one or more processors configured to determine drink dispensing data including one or more drink formulas;
a housing with at least one inlet and at least one outlet;
the housing containing a control unit and a solenoid;
the control unit is configured to maintain a relative constant flow of fluid from a variable pressure fluid supply to a fluid outlet, the control unit including: a) a valve housing having an inlet port and an outlet port adapted to be connected to the variable pressure fluid supply and the fluid outlet; b) a diaphragm chamber interposed between the inlet port and the outlet port; c) a cup contained within the diaphragm chamber; d) a diaphragm closing the cup; e) a piston assembly secured to a center of the diaphragm, the piston assembly having a cap and a base; f) a stem projecting from the cap through a first passageway in a barrier wall to terminate in a valve head; and g) a spring in the cup coacting with the base of the piston assembly for urging the diaphragm into a closed position, and the spring being responsive to fluid pressure above a predetermined level to adjust a size of a control orifice;
wherein the solenoid is located downstream of the control unit;
wherein the one or more processors are configured to transmit the drink dispensing data to a remote device, where the drink dispensing data includes temperature data;
wherein the one or more processors are configured to receive an order, determine a formula for the order, and initiate a flow sequence of two or more elements based on the determined formula via the control unit.
