PURPOSE: To sufficiently deodorize water by installing an inner container inside a water tank and installing an active carbon filter in the lower part of the inner container.
CONSTITUTION: An inner container 35 is engaged inside a water tank 24, and an active carbon filter 36 is installed on the lower part of the container 35 so as not to contact the bottom of the water tank 24. The water poured into the inner container 35 passes through the active carbon filter 36, and is deodorized, and introduced into the water tank 24. At this time, water is stored in separated form in the inside and outside the inner container 35 in the water tank 24, and the water stored in the inner container 35 passes through the active carbon filter 36 slowly at the speed of the drip of a coffee maker. Accordingly, the water which is sufficiently deodorized is obtained. Further, since the water left in the active carbon filter 36 drops, the active carbon filter 36 is easily dried, and favorable in sanitary aspect.
