Abstract
A supply device for one or more beverage-dispensing machines () is provided, having a holding space for the insertion of at least two storage containers () for liquid foods, in particular milk, which storage containers can be connected to the one or more beverage-dispensing machines by food lines ('). The supply device () has a cooling device () for the temperature control of liquid foods contained in the storage containers to a specifiable target temperature. A thermally conductive, in particular metal, contact surface () is provided for each of the food containers (), which contact surface is in thermally conductive contact with a thermally conductive outer wall (), in particular bottom surface, of the storage container in question when the storage container is installed, in order to cool the contents of the storage container. In addition, the thermally conductive contact surfaces can be cooled by the cooling device () by separately controllable cooling circuits ().
