A beverage maker includes a fermentation module including a fermentation tank that defines an inner space, and a lid that is configured to open and close at least a portion of the inner space, and a container configured to be accommodated in the inner space of the fermentation tank. The container includes a container channel configured to guide flow of fluid, and the lid includes a lid channel connected to the container channel, and a tube connected to the lid channel.

A beverage maker may include a fermenter having a space therein to make a beverage; a fluid tank configured to contain fluid; a fluid supply pump connected with the fluid tank; a flow rate detection sensor disposed in a channel connected with the fluid supply pump to detect a flow velocity or a flow rate of fluid which is discharged through the channel by the fluid supply pump; and a controller configured to perform a plurality of operations related to making of a beverage or cleaning of an inside of the beverage maker. The controller may be configured to when an operation requiring a supply of fluid is ongoing from among the plurality of operations, turn on the fluid supply pump to discharge fluid contained in the fluid tank; detect a lack of fluid in the fluid tank based on a first flow velocity or a first flow rate detected by the flow rate detection sensor; and generate a fluid replenishment request for the fluid tank based on a result of detecting.
