Abstract:
A portable, self-contained beverage apparatus includes a container assembly having a known storage capacity for storing a consumable liquid, and a dispensing assembly disposed within the container assembly that dispenses variable, non-zero quantities of additives into the consumable liquid. The dispensing assembly includes multiple apertures structured and arranged to retain vessels containing the additives to be dispensed into the consumable liquid. The beverage apparatus also includes a level sensor disposed within the container assembly that determines a consumable liquid level of the consumable liquid stored in the container assembly. In certain embodiments, one or more positive displacement pumping mechanisms are configured to pump additive liquid from additive containers into a beverage chamber.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of controlling a portable, self-contained beverage apparatus including an internally disposed dispensing assembly having a plurality of apertures structured and arranged to receive and retain vessels containing the additives to be dispensed into the consumable liquid, the method comprising:\n storing capacity information indicating a storage capacity of the container assembly for storing a consumable liquid; determining a consumable liquid level of a consumable liquid stored in the container assembly using a sensor device disposed within the container assembly; and controlling the dispensing assembly to dispense variable, non-zero quantities of additives from the vessels into the consumable liquid based on the determined consumable liquid level of the consumable liquid and the storage capacity of the container.
