Device Method and System for the Application of Content on to the Surface of a Beverage

Abstract

In accordance with some embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a content application device for applying content onto the surface of a beverage. The device may include a contenting application head adapted to apply content by agitating the surface of the beverage in a pattern correlated to the content The device may further include a digital controller adapted to receive a content specific signal and to issue control signals to the content application head, such that the content application head is actuated to apply the content onto the surface of the beverage. According to some further embodiments of the present invention, the device according to may include a content application head which is adapted to agitate the surface of the beverage by applying drops of the beverage onto the surface of the beverage or onto the surface of a froth on the beverage.
