Abstract
A beverage dispensing head and a method of dispensing that provides increased carbonation in a dispensed fountain beverage. The dispensing head has a discrete carbonated water decompression chamber in-between an upstream volumetric flow control body and a downstream normally closed valve. The method includes the steps of propelling carbonated water through a flow control body and then decompressing the carbonated water before it reaches the normally closed valve.
