The present invention is related to a device and method for dispensing
dual component liquids or concentrates packaged in separate containers to
provide protection from effects such as oxidation and moisture loss. The
liquids or concentrates can be dispensed through a pumping system,
preferably including a peristaltic pump, mixed together, and optionally
diluted with another liquid, such as water, to provide a consumable
beverage. In addition, the device of the present invention can dispense
liquids or concentrates having different viscosities, such that they are
mixed together in the proper ratio.
