PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a beverage preparation device for agitating powder or liquid which achieves efficient agitation of powder and generation of fine bubbles.SOLUTION: A beverage preparation device 1 for preparing beverage using liquid and powder includes: an agitation unit 500 including an agitation blade 550 for agitating liquid and powder and an agitation tank 510 in which the agitation blade 550 is stored; an agitation blade driving unit 140 for rotatably driving the agitation blade 550; and a controller for controlling the agitation blade driving unit 140. The agitation blade 550 includes a rotational center shaft around which a plurality of blades 220 are provided. The controller controls the agitation blade driving unit 140 so as to switch the normal and reverse rotation of the agitation blade. 【課題】粉末および液体の撹拌において、粉末を効率よく撹拌できるとともに、きめ細やかな泡を生成することも実現できる飲料製造装置を提供する。【解決手段】飲料製造装置１は、液体と粉末とを用いて飲料を製造するものであって、液体と粉末とを撹拌する撹拌羽根５５０および撹拌羽根５５０を収容する撹拌槽５１０を含む撹拌ユニット５００と、撹拌羽根５５０を回転駆動させる撹拌羽根駆動部１４０と、撹撹拌羽根駆動部１４０を制御する制御部とを備える。撹拌羽根５５０は、回転中心軸を有し、回転中心軸を取り囲むように複数の羽根部２２０が設けられている。制御部は、撹拌羽根の正転と反転を切り替えるように撹拌羽根駆動部１４０を制御する。【選択図】図１９
