1. A fluid dispensing apparatus for providing a configurable fluid temperature, the assembly including:
a reservoir; a flow control element located within the reservoir for defining a first reservoir portion above the flow control element and a second reservoir portion below the flow control element; the flow control element defining a fluid flow communication path between the first reservoir portion and the second reservoir portion; the flow control element defines an inner cavity having a plurality of lower drain apertures for enabling fluid flow communication between the cavity and the second reservoir portion; wherein the flow control element further substantially restricts fluid flow from the first reservoir portion to the second reservoir portion when the second reservoir portion is full; a cooling element configured to chill fluid stored within the second reservoir portion; a fluid dispensing assembly adapted to receive fluid from both the first reservoir portion and the second reservoir portion at a settable ratio, thereby enabling fluid to be dispensed at a configurable temperature; wherein the fluid dispensing assembly includes a mixing valve and a dispenser element; the mixing valve having a plurality of fluid ingress apertures and at least one fluid egress aperture; the mixing valve being adjustable to dispense fluid at a configurable temperature; and the dispenser element being in fluid communication with the at least one egress aperture of the mixing valve and adapted to selectively dispense fluid there from. |
