Automatic regular coffee vending machine including ground coffee powders or coffee beans of different varieties stored in different chambers, separately. When one or more varieties are selected by selection-key operation, coffee powder or powders of the selected variety or varieties are supplied by a predetermined amount into a coffee extractor together with hot water of a predetermined amount, so that a cup of straight coffee of the selected variety or a cup of blended coffee of the selected varieties can be served from the machine. The coffee concentration can be selected by operation of concentration-selection keys, and coffee with cream and/or sugar also can be obtained by cream and/or sugar selection keys which are controlled by a memory storing data on the various supply amounts. When coffee beans are stored in the chambers, the selected amounts of beans are ground in a coffee mill before delivery to the coffee extractor.
