PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel coffee machine with enhanced automatic washability for a milk line by reducing manual washing work as much as possible while making it an assumption to store milk in the same refrigerator during the washing of the milk line as before the washing.SOLUTION: The coffee machine includes: a brewer section for extracting a coffee liquid; and a milk generation section 3 which stores milk in a refrigerator and which prepares the milk taken out from there in a suitable state in accordance with a beverage menu. In a milk support path L7 for transporting the milk from the refrigerator to a cup side, a washing path L9 is made to merge thereinto which cleans the support path midway by feeding an undiluted solution of detergent and/or hot water. Also, the washing path L9 is composed of an undiluted solution supply path L9a for feeding the undiluted solution of the detergent to the milk support path L7 and a washing hot water supply path L9b for supplying hot water for washing.
