1. A device for making tea comprising: a brewing chamber for enclosing a tea-pad, means for supplying heated water through one or more openings in the upper wall of the brewing chamber, anda restricted opening in the lower wall of the brewing chamber, so that tea is squirted into a liquid collection chamber underneath the brewing chamber, wherein the lower wall of the liquid collection chamber is provided with a substantial circular ridge around the location where the tea hits the lower wall of the liquid collection chamber between the location where the tea hits the lower wall of the liquid collection chamber and a wall enclosing the liquid collection chamber. 2. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the diameter of the substantial circular ridge between 25 mm and 60 mm. 3. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the height of the substantial circular ridge is between 0.05 mm and 5 mm. 4. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lower wall of the liquid collection chamber has a raised portion at the location where the tea hits said lower wall, so that the tea is flowing over a slope downwards to the substantial circular ridge. 5. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the substantial circular ridge has an interruption in order to form a pass-through for liquid. 6. A device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: means for reducing liquid drops falling from at least a part of the upper wall of the liquid collection chamber. 7. A device as claimed in claim 6, wherein at least the central part of the upper wall of the liquid collection chamber is provided with a layer of porous material. 8. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least the central part of the surface of the upper wall of the liquid collection chamber is inclined. 9. A device as claimed in claim 8, wherein at least a main part of the surface of the upper wall of the liquid collection chamber has a substantial conical shape. 10. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lower wall of the liquid collection chamber is substantially positioned in an inclined plane, so that the lowest portion of said lower wall is at a location at the edge of said lower wall whereby said lowest portion is provided with an oblong outflow opening along said edge, whereby a guiding surface abuts on said oblong outflow opening for guiding the tea downwardly towards a tea outflow member. 11. A device as claimed in claim 10, wherein the guiding surface abuts on the lower edge of the side wall of the liquid collection chamber, which edge is also the edge of the oblong outflow opening. 12. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lower wall of the liquid collection chamber is provided with a channel for guiding liquid in the direction of an outflow opening at the edge of the lower wall. 13. A removable part of the device according to claim 1, comprising the lower wall of the brewing chamber and the liquid collection chamber. 14. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the diameter of the substantial circular ridge is between 35 mm and 50 mm. 15. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the height of the substantial circular ridge is between 1.5 mm and 4 mm.
