A sink system with various features that may provide improved functionality for kitchens and associated kitchen systems, particularly with regard to a user experience within a "smart" kitchen environment. In general, a sink system includes one or more sink basins integrated into a cabinet or housing, and a faucet coupled to the sink. The sink system can include a produce washing station in a second basin. The sink system can include smart features including audiovisual features for controlling various features of the sink systems. The sink system can also include a beverage or hydration station feature in which water can be customized for a user or for a desired end use of the water by the user. For example, flavors, vitamins, minerals, carbonation, filtration, instant hot, chilled, coffee, ice, and cocktails can be added into the water and dispensed by the sink system.
