Abstract
A sugar and cream dispenser for an automatic coffee machine which prevents coffee or sugar from being dispensed into cups where the customer does not desire cream or sugar. The cream and sugar chutes are provided with moveable doors which are closed except when cream or sugar is to be dispensed into a cup. When the customer selects cream or sugar such doors open so that the cream or sugar can be dispensed into the coffee cup and at other times such doors are closed. The doors also prevent moisture and steam from passing up into the cream and sugar chutes so as to cause clogging of the machine. The machine also provides an easily removeable chute structure which can be quickly cleaned and replaced on the machine.
