In order to enable an automated preparation apparatus for dosing and preparing a nutritious drink by mixing a nutritional powder, e.g. gruel powder, and water together, to be controlled to operate within a narrow temperature range and under safe conditions for the users, the apparatus has a control unit (65) designed to allow a user to control the apparatus according to at least one of the following two options A) and B), namely, so that a portion of a desired serving size of water is heated to a temperature of 25-55 °C, alternatively to a temperature of at least 70 °C, and is brought to a mixer housing (27) where the powder is mixed into the water, whereupon the obtained drink is transferred to the bottle (36), that the remaining portion of the serving size of water is supplied to the mixer housing (27) for rinsing the mixer housing (27) from any remaining powder; and that the remaining portion of the serving size of water and any remaining powder in the mixer housing are transferred to the bottle (36) and added to the previously obtained mixture for cooling thereof and forming a nutritious drink at desired temperature. Preferably, the control unit (65) is connected to an external network unit (B, D, E, F, F'), which is linked to a mobile device (C) for remote control of the preparation apparatus (A). |
