A method for determining a suitable parameter for a process of making a beverage by conducting fluid through at least one member containing at least one beverage ingredient in a beverage maker that receives and processes various types of beverage ingredient containing members, the method includes realizing a flow of fluid through a beverage ingredient containing member of a particular type; and measuring a characteristic of the flow which is influenced by a flow resistance of the beverage ingredient containing member. The method further includes comparing the measured flow characteristic to a set of predetermined flow characteristics associated with the various types of beverage ingredient containing members; and determining at least one parameter for a further process of making a beverage by selecting a parameter related to the predetermined flow characteristic to which the measured flow characteristic is closest.
