A fountain apparatus for use with a flowable food media includes a
recipient for receiving the food media therein, a recipient and an output
port. The recipient is heatable within a predetermined temperature range
for maintaining the food media within the temperature range. The output
port connects to the recipient downstream of an aperture extending
through a wall thereof and has a passageway extending there through for
receiving the food media from the aperture. The passageway defines an
inlet opening that is in fluid communication with the recipient via the
aperture and an outlet opening that has an opening mechanism to
selectively control the opening thereof. A heating member is thermally
connected to the output port for warming up the same to maintain the food
media therein within the temperature range.
