Abstract
A system and method for creating a personalized consumer product are provided. The system and method of the present disclosure enables a user, e.g., a consumer, to customize products containing solids and/or fluids by allowing a server communicating over the global computer network, e.g., the Internet, to provide product preferences of a user to a product or a mixing device, e.g., a product or beverage dispenser. The method for creating a product according to a user'"'"'s preferences over a network includes the steps identifying a product to a server over the network; identifying a user to the server over the network; retrieving the user'"'"'s product preferences from a database at the server based on the product'"'"'s identity and user'"'"'s identity; transmitting the user'"'"'s product preferences to the product over the network; and mixing at least one element contained within the product based on the user'"'"'s product preferences.
