A beverage maker comprises a reservoir for holding a variable volume of a fluid, a pump or hot water generator for pumping the fluid out of the reservoir, a fluid-level sensor, and a controller operatively connected to the pump and the sensor. The controller is configured for determining, in conjunction with the sensor, a level of fluid in the reservoir at an initial time. The controller is further configured for causing the pump or hot water generator to operate for any one of a plurality of different amounts of time to motivate a same volume of water, each of the plurality of different amounts of time corresponding to a different level of fluid in the reservoir at the initial time.
