A stirrer dispenser for beverage dispensing machines includes a first channel for containing a stack of stirrers. The first channel includes a first opening from which single stirrers are extracted and ejected by an ejector provided with an alternating movement. The ejector includes an engagement member where single stirrers are engaged and ejected from the first opening at each stroke of the ejector. The dispenser further includes a second channel with a second opening. The second channel is located next to the first channel. The first and second openings are side by side along the movement direction of the ejector. In addition, the dispenser includes a stroke delimiter that limits the stroke of the ejector when at least one stirrer is present in the first channel, so that the ejector picks up the stirrers from the second channel only when the first channel is empty.
