1. A conditioning system comprising:
- a chamber for receiving a nutritional substance, the chamber enclosing a dynamic conditioner environment where solid, gaseous and liquid states of the nutritional substance are generated during conditioning;
one or more conditioning elements disposed within or in thermal communication with the dynamic conditioner environment;
one or more sensors for detecting at least one of the solid, liquid or gaseous states of the nutritional substance during conditioning; and
a processor configured to receive signals from the one or more sensors representing the solid, liquid or gaseous states of the nutritional substance as they evolve during conditioning, and based on said signals, dynamically control the one or more conditioning elements to condition the nutritional substance to generate a desired organoleptic, aesthetic or nutrition value of the nutritional substance, and wherein the processor is hosted remotely from the conditioning system in a cloud based system.
