An outlet chamber may be arranged to separate beverage flow into a liquid component and a gas/liquid component such that the liquid component flows downwardly to a first outlet opening and (33) the gas/liquid component flows upwardly and/or through a tortuous path to condition the gas/liquid component and reduce foam prior to the gas/liquid component exiting a second outlet opening (34).
