Abstract:
A beverage serving apparatus is configured to produce an optimal amount of head (or layer of foam) and foam stability when a beverage is poured through the beverage serving apparatus and into a vessel. The beverage serving apparatus includes an inlet, an outlet, and a conduit having a variable cross-sectional dimension extending between the inlet and the outlet.

Claim (Index 18):
The beverage serving apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein the means for conveying is defined by a means for enclosing the liquid flowing through the beverage serving apparatus, the means for enclosing disposed between the means for receiving and the means for releasing and comprising:\n a proximal portion where the variable cross-sectional dimension of the means for conveying within the proximal portion progressively increases from a first cross-sectional dimension to a second cross-sectional dimension in a direction from the means for receiving to the means for releasing, the second cross-sectional dimension being greater than the first cross-sectional dimension; a middle portion where the variable cross-sectional dimension of the means for conveying within the middle portion remains constant at the second cross-sectional dimension; and a distal portion where the variable cross-sectional dimension of the means for conveying within the distal portion progressively decreases from the second cross-sectional dimension to the first cross-sectional dimension in the direction.
