PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic vending machine for efficiently and quickly heating only the necessary quantity of packed beverages at a temperature suitable for drinking. SOLUTION: Since a heating means 45 constituted of a PTC element is directly brought into contact with a package of a packed beverage to heat the beverage, only the necessary quantity of beverages can be efficiently and quickly heated up to the temperature suitable for drinking while suppressing the diffusion of heat as much as possible. Since heating energy of high power is applied to low-temperature packed beverages and heating energy of low power is applied to packed beverages whose temperature is almost suitable for drinking by the self-temperature control action of the PTC, reasonable heating corresponding to load can be performed.
