PORTION COOLER

The present invention relates to a device for cooling beverages comprising a cooling chamber (3), a supply arrangement (31), a dispensing arrangement (4) and at least one thermoelectric converter (5). The cooling chamber (3) encloses a hollow space (35, 36, 37, 38). The supply arrangement (31) is configured to supply a liquid to the hollow space enclosed by the cooling chamber. The dispensing arrangement (4) is configured to withdraw liquid from the hollow space enclosed by the cooling chamber, and the at least one thermoelectric converter (5) has a first surface through which an amount of cooling is delivered when the thermoelectric converter is supplied with electric energy. In the device the first surface is in thermal contact with the cooling chamber, and the cooling chamber (3) includes in its interior at least one array of spaced apart fins (34), each extending from one of the sidewalls of the cooling chamber into the interior thereof. Characteristic of the device for cooling beverages is that the dispensing arrangement (4) is configured to withdraw liquid in portioned doses of predetermined single withdrawal quantities from the hollow space (35, 36, 37, 38), and that the volume of the hollow space (35, 36, 37, 38) corresponds to at least the volume of one single withdrawal quantity.
