Abstract

The present invention includes a milk dispensing assembly for use with a beverage dispensing machine for combining milk, which is heated, ambient, unheated, or chilled, selectively with a second ingredient. The milk dispensing assembly includes a single milk passage for the introduction of a flow of milk and a single passage for the introduction of a second ingredient. The milk passage and ingredient passage are oriented to be fed into an intermediate passage which communicates with a swirl cavity defined by a mixing chamber. The introduction of milk and second ingredient is controlled to provide a variety of selected conditions of the resulting combination.
