摘要

The present invention relates to a beverage system. A housing includes a first opening, a second opening and a cartridge defined as a dome-shaped vessel which contains a beverage ingredient. The cartridge is sized and shaped to be received inside the first opening and includes a sealing material positioned across the cartridge to seal the beverage ingredient therein. A water supply system includes a water supply line operatively connected at one end to a water source and at an opposing end to a needle. The needle punctures the sealing material and the cartridge. Once the needle is positioned within the cartridge, water is passed into the cartridge to mix with the beverage ingredient to form a desired beverage. The second opening is sized and shaped to receive a beverage cup and the beverage cup is capable of holding the desired beverage from the beverage system.
