Freeze it. Next, Figure 4 shows the simplest example of use, and shows the top and middle diversion container 4A.
The case of making iced coffee using chisel will be explained. That is, the coffee dripper 17 is placed above the diversion container 4A fitted with the cooling body 2, and a cup or the like 15 is placed below. When hot water is poured into the dripper 17, the hot coffee flows down and the cooling body 2, it spreads around the upper surface as a thin flow, flows through the narrow uniform gap 23 (see Fig. 4) around the cooling body 2 and the diverter container 4, and at the bottom, and is cooled. Karakup et al. 1
It is poured into 5. Usually, one or more of each of the diverting containers 4A and 4B are used.

4 is formed in large numbers in the vertical direction, and the sixth
The figure shows an increase in the surface area of the upper surface of the cooling body 2 and a diversion vessel 4.
Low protrusions 25 in the radial direction are provided on the upper surface of the cooling body 2 to maintain a constant gap with A or 4B (promote uniform separation).
This shows an example in which a large number of .

実際上、分流用容器４Ａを一段又は複数段使用
