PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cup-carrying device of a drink supply machine which is simple and compact in structure, easily and stably carries a cup to a cup take-out port provided at a comparatively high position, and keeps the commercial value of cup drink high. SOLUTION: The cup-carrying device of a drink supply machine is provided with a cup holder support mechanism 23 and a cup holder 22 which is supported by the cup holder support mechanism 23 with its free rotation about a fulcrum 44 possible and is freely movable between a cup-receiving position at which the cup C is received from a cup-supply machine 5 and a cup-discharging position at which the cup C is carried to the cup take-out port 4 and horizontally holds the cup C received from the cup-supply machine 5. Additionally, the above device is provided with a drive unit 24 for driving the cup holder support mechanism 23, so that the cup holder 22 receives the cup C from the cup-supply machine 5 at the cup-receiving position when the drink is supplied and drives the cup holder 22 to the cup-discharging position after the drink is poured into the cup thus received.
