Abstract

Automated beverage systems for preparing beverages including one or more beverage ingredients are disclosed. In one embodiment, a beverage system may be arranged to move a beverage cup between a plurality of dispensing stations, and one or more beverage ingredients may be dispensed into the beverage cup at each of the plurality of dispensing stations. The beverage system may include one or more container fittings to attach containers of beverage ingredients to the beverage system. Moreover, the beverage system may include an agitator associated with the beverage cup to mix the beverage ingredients after they are dispensed into the beverage cup at the dispensing stations.
