Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021249675A1] The invention relates to a drinks preparation means and a method for providing a cooled hot drink. A heat exchanger and a cooling device are used in the drinks preparation means and the method, wherein the cooling device has an ice-water container filled with an ice-water mixture and fluidically connected to the heat exchanger. A pump is also used which conveys the cold water via a cold water line from the ice-water container into the heat exchanger and conveys water via a supply line from the heat exchanger to the ice-water container. The drinks preparation means according to the invention and the method according to the invention have the advantage of enabling rapid cooling of a hot drink with a constant and high cooling capacity, with simple equipment requirements and minimal energy consumption.
