A generally sealed container storage and cooling chamber is disposed beneath the top surface of a piece of furniture. A container transport device is disposed in the chamber and is adapted to present one container at a time to a vertically oriented delivery device. The delivery device comprises a generally cylindrical vertical guide channel having a container release opening in its side and which communicates with the transport device. The top of the guide channel forms an access opening in the top surface of the furniture. A feed piston is slideably mounted in the guide channel and is movable between a lowered and a raised position. When the piston is in its raised position, its side wall blocks the container release opening, and its top wall forms a support for a beverage container and may also complete the top furniture surface. When the piston is in its lowered position, a beverage container is delivered by gravity through the release opening and onto the piston top wall. A motive device is provided to lower the piston into container receiving position and to then raise the piston and beverage container to provide access by the user to the beverage. The top wall of the piston may be positioned flush, above or below the top furniture surface.
