A liquid stirring apparatus comprises storage means for storing a liquid; and driving means for performing a rotation operation of rotating the storage unit. The rotation operation includes a stop operation of stopping rotation of the storage means at a plurality of stop positions. The plurality of stop positions include a first stop position at which a stop time is a first time, and a second stop position at which the stop time is a second time different from the first time.

A container includes a container body, and a cover attached to the container body. The container body includes a front wall, a rear wall, and a liquid channel. The container body has a storage chamber in fluid communication with the liquid channel and positioned between the front wall and the rear wall in a front-rear direction. The liquid channel extends in the front-rear direction to have a supply opening that is open on the front wall and that is open frontward. The cover has an opening that is open rearward and the cover covers least a part of an outer surface of the front wall. The supply opening of the container body is positioned below a lower end of the opening of the cover.
