A second pipe having a downstream end connected to the water storage section and having an upstream end opened;
A piping member connecting the downstream end of the first piping and the upstream end of the second piping;
With
The downstream end of the first pipe and the upstream end of the second pipe are arranged in the same direction,
The piping member has two opening ends facing in the same direction, and is detachably connected between the downstream end of the first piping and the upstream end of the second piping through the respective opening ends. And
Between the upstream end of the second pipe and the downstream end of the first pipe, a water filter device for filtering water Ri removable der in place of the pipe member,
The piping member is
A pair of joint portions forming a cylindrical shape having an open end connected to a downstream end of the first pipe and an upstream end of the second pipe;
A connecting portion for connecting the base end portions of the pair of joint portions to each other;
It constitutes a flow path from one joint part to the other joint part via the connecting part,
The connecting portion is
Two parallel straight tubes open at both ends,
A linear connecting pipe having an open end and a closed end and connecting one end of each straight pipe;
Beverage supply characterized by forming a flow path from one straight pipe to the other straight pipe through the connection pipe by closing and closing a cap nut at the open end of the connection pipe apparatus.
