Abstract
An object is to allow the users to easily recognize where to put the beverage container for a corresponding nozzle even when multiple nozzles for dispensing beverages are present. Upon reception of a selection operation to select one beverage from options for multiple kinds of beverages displayed on a touch panel, a control section identifies the beverage supply port for dispensing the beverage selected by the selection operation among multiple beverage supply ports and controls the touch panel to indicate a container holder corresponding to the beverage supply port for dispensing the beverage.
