Claim Text:
1. A bottle pouring dispenser comprising: a dispenser housing having a lower end configured to be removably attached to and cover an open end of a bottle; a valve providing one-way hydraulic communication from the bottle to a chamber defined within the dispenser housing and having upper and lower chamber portions, such that with the bottle pouring dispenser attached to an open end of a bottle containing a liquid, liquid passes through the valve into the chamber as the bottle is inverted, and is prevented from returning to the bottle when righted; a flavorant disposed within the upper chamber portion in form of multiple disconnected solid flavorant pieces that are dissolvable in liquid so as to add flavoring to liquid flowing through the upper chamber portion as the bottle is inverted, the flavorant held spaced above a floor of the chamber, such that a lower portion of the chamber defines a drain volume beneath the flavorant for receiving liquid draining from about the flavorant with the bottle righted; a filter disposed at a top of the upper chamber portion and configured to retain undissolved flavorant in the upper chamber portion, as the bottle is inverted; a barrier disposed between the upper and lower chamber portions, the barrier being configured to define drain passages smaller than the flavorant pieces, such that the flavorant pieces are prevented from passing into the lower chamber portion and are prevented from dissolving in the liquid as the bottle is righted; and a pour spout extending from an upper end of the dispenser housing, for dispensing flavored liquid from the chamber.
