Systems, methods and cartridges for carbonating or otherwise dissolving gas in a precursor liquid, such as water, to form a beverage. A gas source can be provided in a cartridge which is used to generate gas that is dissolved into the precursor liquid. A beverage medium, such as a powdered drink mix or liquid syrup, may be provided in the same, or a separate cartridge as the gas source and mixed with the precursor liquid to form a beverage. The use of one or more cartridges for the gas source and/or beverage medium may make for an easy to use and mess-free system for making sparkling beverages, e.g., in the consumer’s home.本發明係關於將氣體碳酸化或溶解於先驅物液體(譬如,水)中以形成飲料的系統、方法及匣盒。一氣體來源可被設置於一匣盒中,其被用來產生將被溶解於該先驅物液體中的氣體。一飲料媒介物(譬如,粉末式飲料混合物或液體糖漿)可被設置於同一匣盒,或一分開的匣盒中作為該氣體來源且與該先驅物液體混合以形成飲料。使用一或多個用於該氣體來源及/或飲料媒介物的匣盒可作出一用來在例如消費者家中作出起泡的飲料之易於使用且不髒亂的系統。2‧‧‧飲料先驅物液體3‧‧‧匣盒室4a‧‧‧匣盒4b‧‧‧飲料媒介物匣盒5‧‧‧控制器6‧‧‧接觸器7‧‧‧空氣幫浦8‧‧‧杯子11‧‧‧儲槽13‧‧‧幫浦14‧‧‧噴嘴16‧‧‧過濾器20‧‧‧活化流體供應器21‧‧‧閥30‧‧‧二氧化碳氣體供應器31‧‧‧導管32‧‧‧過濾器41‧‧‧二氧化碳來源42‧‧‧飲料媒介物
