ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses a device intended for dispensing first and second flowable substances for the preparation of a food or beverage. This device includes first and second container holders each comprising an apertured plate member for receiving a container opening, with the plate member being adapted to move from a closed position, wherein a portion of the plate member obturates the container opening, to an open position, where the flowable substance can be dispensed from the container, and vice versa. First and second container opening connection structures are provided for operatively associating each container opening with its respective apertured plate member. The first container opening connection structure is configured to be different from the second container opening connection structure so that each can receive and engage only its respective container opening but not the other so that the device can properly receive and dispense the first and second flowable substances when preparing the food or beverage. The invention also relates to a container for holding a flowable substance and for attachment as a reservoir in a top-down position onto a device for dispensing the flowable substance.
