Question: How quickly did the iron shut itself off?

I read a lot of reviews before buying this iron and really thought I would have a winner this time. The first and major problem I have had with it is leaky water during steaming - when the iron had fully heated. The second thing that I don't like about this iron is that it shuts off quickly - in about 3 minutes when not being used - and to reheat the iron, you have to push the control button repeatedly to get it to the hottest setting - it takes 10 pushes to get it to the "max" setting on my iron as some of the pushes don't seem to register on the electronic control.The only "saving grace" of this iron is that it puts out a lot of steam (and water).

Answer: about 3 minutes

Question: When did the cutting board start to warp?

I read the previous review about warping and bought the tray anyways. When I received the cutting board, it was perfectly level. I've had this for 5 months. After about two months of daily use, the crumb tray started to warp a little (not the slatted cutting board). I am very careful. I do not soak the pieces in water. I only rinse and towel-dry to clean the pieces because they are only used for bread (and this only happens sporadically because I usually just dump the crumbs). I stopped making bread for the last 2 months and tucked the board away in a cupboard. When I pulled the board out several days ago, the warping is even much more obvious. The corner is now raised about 1/2 inch from the counter. But, other than the warping of the tray, I would have given a 5-star rating. The size is great. It can hold two loaves of bread (about 7 inch in diameter, each), or one good sized loaf. The cutting board works fantastic as a cooling rack for hot bread. The tray catches the crumbs and leaves the kitchen counter so much cleaner than if you were to use a regular cutting board. There is also enough space between the edge of the cutting board and the crumb tray where I can store my bread knife a little more securely (rather than leaving the knife to lay on the counter or on the board), and keep the knife close for another quick slice of yummy bread!

Question: What other issue did he have with the product?

In regards to cooking and user friendly controls, the toaster oven is great. However I am disappointed with two things about it. The first and biggest disappointed is the apparent manufactures defect regarding the ovens door. The door falls off on the left (Looking at the toaster) side of the oven. There is a lot of "wiggle room" for the door and if you move it to the right just enough, the door pin falls out of the hinge. Granted, I could "rig" it to correct the problem but this is not a $20 toaster oven. The second issue which was more my fault is the size. For example, it will fit a personal pan pizza (For one person) max. It looks bigger in the picture then it really is. So make sure you note the measurements before you buy. I actually down graded in size and found out I couldnt cook everything I could before. The toaster cooked excellent but I cant recommend though due to the door hinge issue. If that weren't a problem, it would be a great compact toaster oven.

Question: What is a pro?

PROS:Looks: I like wood and elegant metal together and this accomplishes!Size: Small compared to some but holds a good amount of pepper and is easy to hold and grind while not being so tall that it's too easy to knock over by accident.Quality of Grind: Not as easy to adjust to different perfect grinds as Oxo Good Grips but is on par with most quality pepper grinders and does the job for us. We adjust to our most preferred grind and leave it alone unless we really need to change it.Ease of Use: Easy to fill. Easy to grip and grind.CONS:Price: Current pricing (10/10/12) would have me looking at other grinders. I'd be more easily convinced to buy at $30 or less but would like to see at $20 or less (in only getting one).Usability: Not as good at Oxo, but probably none are.OVERALL:If you like this style and can hang with current pricing (whatever it is), then it's a good choice.

Question: What color of bedskirts did they buy?

Bought this for our Olympic Queen mattress (which is a funny size to find bedskirts for) - and it works GREAT! I had a king size for years, but had to fold & pin it in the middle so it wouldn't fall to the floor - and still had to fix it all the time. This one works GREAT - it's off the floor but still keeps the stuff under the bed hidden. The color is really nice too - a nice navy blue. Maybe a tiny bit lighter than the color here (it looks almost black here, but in person is a true navy blue).

Question: How many slices can fit in the toaster oven?

I'm happy with this little toaster oven. It can hold four slices of toast if they're jammed together, so it's not huge, but I'm happy with the size. With the screen on the middle rack, it toasts bread and bagels perfectly. I use it mostly for toast and a little bit of broiling, and it works great!The only thing I'm taking a point off for is the timer. It has an old-fashioned, mechanical ticking timer, which works fine now but I'm worried about the longevity of it. I've had a few of those old kitchen egg-timers that slowed down considerably after some use, and I think this may be the same type of mechanism. However, the oven was cheap enough that I think it makes up for this one flaw. I would buy this oven again.

Question: How often does the pot self-clean?

We bought this atrocity 8 months ago. the thermal carafe does not keep the coffee hot for starters. The idiot who designed the program feature is laughing the whole way tot he bank. The cleaning cycle comes on every two months which is fine, however even after cleaning it 3 times with solution, the regular clock does not come back up unless we unplug it and plug it in again which means that it also has to be reprogrammed. the clock and auto program function are so ridiculous it is annoying. I would steer clear of this machine. Oh yes, and the top of the carafe doe snot come apart to clean. Again, Do NOT buy this lousy machine.

Question: What is the object being reviewed?

I gave this organizer three stars because it seems well made, however I couldn't actually use it because it didn't fit any of our doors. It was wide enough to fit over the top on some of the inside doors on our 1960's era home, but not our door to the garage, where I wanted to use it. On the doors where it did fit on the top, we decided not to use it because it made the doors difficult to close, and my husband concerned that the top of the rack was bulky enough to damage the doors if we tried to force close them.I have a different brand of over the top door hangar and that actually fits our bedroom and closet doors with no issues, and I am able to close the doors just fine. So I am not sure what is up with this particular door rack. Overall I usually really like OXO products, so I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe this rack fits the doors on newer homes better. But for me this was a product I could not use.

Question: Do you have to take this product apart?

My adult daughter hosts tea parties for her daughter, nieces, and other young relatives often. This Ferris wheel cupcake holder is adorable and quite the eye-catching serving piece set up on a table. I love that the wheel actually moves smoothly. We did have to place the smaller-sized cupcakes in the holder, but really, who needs those giant cupcakes anyway. It does require some minor assembly, and if you don't want to take it apart to re-box it, have some storage space planned for it. I think it is a wonderfully whimsical product that is worth the money.

Question: What else did they get?

I shopped for quite some time, trying to find the perfect breadmaker. I LOVE this Sunbeam model. It is too easy to use! The recipes that came with it are fantastic. I LOVE the quickbread option. Fresh bread from start to finish in 50 minutes! I made several loaves for family and they could not beleive how good it was and that it was home made! (I didn't mention it was my new breadmaker!) It has lots of different settings. I've used the dough option for making fresh dough for pizzas and rolls and artisan breads. I haven't had a bad loaf yet!I did get another breadmaker cookbook to go with it. It has more options for Italian bread, french bread, etc. This is a great product and I recommend it for easy and delcious home-made bread!

Question: Where does the mop head stay?

I purchased this steam mop because I love "clean", but hate the time it takes to get there. Here are the pros and cons on this product IMO: Pros: generates lots of steam FAST; the mops are very easy to put on and take off using hook and loop fasteners; very light appliance and easy to push around; loooong cord; the powerful steam really does pick up dust and dirt effectively. The reason I'm giving this two stars is because: the handle is weak and feels flimsy to use (and if you have to constantly be pushing it forward to generate steam it should feel sturdy); the mop head stays in a fixed position and does not swivel, therefore; does not get in hard to reach places like the base of the toilet or tough corners. Because the above is my main reason for purchasing an appliance like this I was disappointed it didn't perform up to my expectations. I returned this product and purchased the Bissell Green Tea instead and love it!

Question: How did the reviewer know the product was quiet?

I was looking for a kitchen timer that wasn't too loud. This is it! Thanks to the complaints below I knew this was the product for me. No you can't hear it 3 rooms away, but neither does it blast my ears off just trying to set the thing.So far it works great. it's also a little more stable and slim lined so less likely to be knocked off the fridge and broken like our last timer. If you want loud get the CDN TM4 Count Down Big Digit timer.

Question: The customer was happy that the switch was located where?

We were looking for an inexpensive and simple coffeemaker. None of that digital timer stuff, just an old-fashioned on-off switch. We made the mistake of getting a different one--and ended up sending it back. We looked again, saw this Mr. Coffee offering, and decided to try it out.What a difference! The way the top flips up separate from the water delivery system means it's easy to put in both the coffee and the water; much better than having to flip the filter compartment open from the side. The carafe feels sturdy, doesn't spill coffee all over the place, and holds the full 12 cups we expected. The switch being in front makes it easier to turn on and off (the other one slid all over when trying to turn it on). The coffee stays hot, but not so hot to scorch. Not that we end up leaving it on; we tend to drink all the coffee each time we make it!Did I mention the coffee tastes great?

I love this satin brushed salt and pepper shaker. The idea to store the pepper shaker in the salt shaker is great. I love watching guests trying to figure it out. I do not have any problems getting enough salt out of the shaker and the pepper shaker is more for white pepper. I do use white pepper often, but only as powder. If I need black pepper I do use a pepper mill. I am trying to avoid too much salt and pepper anyway and I really do not like the automatic grab to the salt shaker. So the little wholes do work well.The salt and pepper shaker are easy to refill and also easy to clean.

Question: How long has the owner had the product?

So far, I've been very pleased with the oven. I bought the oven to replace a toaster oven that fit into one of those cubby holes on my counter with a door that slides up and down.. it had very specific dimensions that it had to be, and according to the website, this oven fit those dimensions. WRONG..... there are 2 little bump outs for lack of a better word on the back of the oven that prohibit it from going flush against the wall; therefore, it doesn't fit in the spot and I cannot lower the door. To avoid having to send this back at my expense, I have kept the oven and will just have it stick out of my cubby hole. I do love the oven and the broiler... I made the mistake of using the bun/bread warmer on top to put some chicken breast fillets that I'd cooked and while waiting for the rest of my dinner to cook, I put them in the warmer. The tray in the warmer does not come out. It was difficult to clean, and I wish I'd known that before I put anything on that top level other than bread.Beside those two things, I am happy thus far with the oven, but I've only had it for about a month. I'm hoping that since I am using it so much that I'm saving power since I'm not heating up the Jenn-Air.

Question: What is the brand name of the scale?

After looking over all of the available food scales on Amazon, I decided that the EatSmart Digital Nutrition Scale seemed like the best choice. I have to say that it is easy to use, looks nice, and has great features.The scale can be used to measure every food you want so there will not be any guessing of the nutritional content when using the scale.One of the great features is that you can put something, like a plate, on the scale and then have that weight subtracted so you can measure only the weight of what is on the plate.The scale isn't too big and looks very nice. Besides food, the scale can also be used to measure the weight of other things, such as small packages.

Question: How should the timer be worn?

I first bought the white version of this timer about ten years ago. At that time, it sold for $30, so at $15 it's a bargain; recently I bought the black version, which with its colored buttons looks cooler than white.For the last few years, I've used the old one at least ten times a day, without ever having to change batteries. I've dropped it a few times on a ceramic floor and otherwise abused it occasionally, but all three functions still work perfectly. It's simple to set, has a "batch feature" (meaning it recalls the previous setting when you turn it off) so you don't have to reset it when you continue to use a particular setting. It's meant to be carried around your neck, if you wish, so it's on the small side and the compact button layout might not be convenient for people with arthritis.It does what it was designed to do extremely well; what more can you ask?

Question: How long the old one last him?

I replaced a much cheaper one that had lasted me five years, but that was sagging and nearly toppling over-- plus the zipper had broken. I love this one, even without the cover that I'm still waiting for. Very sturdy, and though less wide than my old one, actually a much better use of space: I have room under it, because of the wheels, to put shoes in, and because it is metal, the bottom shelf is usable which it wasn't on the old one (had been just cardboard). On one side, I have dresses, and on the other, blazers. Under the blazers, I have my laundry basket, and under my dresses, there's still room on the bottom shelf for other folded up clothes. The rack is sturdy enough that I could store things on the top if I wanted, as well, but I'm not doing so for aesthetics... I'll let you know how the cover works out.

Question: What does the writer like about the product?

I have 3, 17-20 year old children, so they are harder on things because they are bigger and these glasses are the ticket. We did a kitchen remod and new glasses were in order. I searched all over Amazon and other places to find a tough glass and I like the reviews. These are very simple stylish tough glasses.. I hope they stand the test of time but that will be seen. They are thick and solid.The only beef I had wasn't really with the glass but the sticker that is put on the bottom of the glass, whew, they took a razor and goo be gone to get rid of the sticker and the glue residue.

Question: What part does a good job sucking up Cheerios?

We bought this when our first child learned to crawl and we had to clean crumbs, etc off the floor before she ate them. Now we're again finding it indispensable for number two and three (now ages 1, 3, and 5)I like it for:1) Handle installs and removes quickly and easily.2) vacuum hangs easy on the charger - some other ones we've had are tricky to pop into the charger correctly if you want it to be installed vertically.3) Power roller bar - really sucks up those cheerios quickly, even on hard floors.4) Easily removable battery - charger has a second battery charging slot so you can swap out.When I bought this the cashier at Target told me that this was what they used to clean up spills in the store. It's now almost 3 years old and the battery is starting to show it's age (It's easily removable so I'll be buying a spare soon)UPDATE: The original battery is still going strong. To eliminate the "Memory" I just ran down the battery between charges rather than keeping it on the charger "topping off" all the time. Works great now, as good as new!UPDATE2 - after 5-1/2 years the original battery is finally dead. OEM replacement part cost me $19.99 including shipping, good as new!!!!TIP: When emptying I find it handy to use a full size vacuum cleaner to get the filter extra clean.If you've found this review helpful, please let me know!

Question: What did they bake in the silicone pan?

This is my second set of silicone. The other set I have is a bit thicker, but as you need to put this on something else anyway, I'm not sure thinner matters. It might even be easier to pop muffins out.Several reviewers mentioned sticking and cleaning issues. I have always used at least some oil and have had no problem removing my muffins as long as I am patient enough for them to cool down. A bit of twisting and pushing from the bottom and they pop right out.As to cleaning, I just soak for a few minutes in hot soapy water and then wipe out with a paper towel. Then I throw it in the dishwasher. Maybe the people with problems are cooking something very sticky?I like these silicone pans a lot.

Question: What item added into the liquid while mixing will cause it to decelerate?

Contrary to what you may read in the reviews - this product CAN HANDLE protein powder and water, provided you are not trying to make it so thick the spoon stands up. My experience with this is you can take 14-16 oz water, start the mixer, then add your 1 or 2 scoops and it blends fine. Just as with anything else, adding something NOT LIQUID into the liquid will slow the blending down a bit, and I would think that the strength of your batteries plays a part in this as well. I am ordering a 2nd one from Amazon, as I am very happy with the one I purchased at another site.

Question: What was the inside of the pan like after they ruined it?

I thought I had ruined my All-Clad pan when I boiled it dry accidentally. Oh, I was so upset with myself! The inside was charred and dull. I considered buying a replacement because I felt awful every time I used it even though its performance -- amazingly -- was still good. This cleaner saved the day! It has restored the inside beautifully - it now looks like it did before I "ruined" it. I could not be more amazed or more pleased. Buy this product and make your All-Clad pans look like new!

Question: How do they wash the lid?

I have electronic stove. Its minimum bottom size for pot is 12cm (4.7 in). The bottome of this exactly matches this size.So ... good to cook.But in washing this item, I've found 1 problem.

So I'm a little worried whenever I wash this pot.If a litte detergent is still left in lid, there would be a possibilty to take in the detergent before I use it.So I wash the lid just using water without detergent.I'd like this pot would be upgraded in that part in future.

Question: What dairy product could the tongs pick up?

I ordered these tongs to use on a buffet of appetizers. The tongs are decent quality, but they do not open wide enough to pick up most food. For example, mini quiches. I planned to use these with a tray of mini quiches (like the kind you buy frozen from the grocery store), but the tongs open only about half as wide as the quiches themselves. These tongs would be most useful for very thin items, like slices of meat or cheese. Honestly, they do not even open wide enough to use with a tray of crudités. The tongs are sturdy, but it does feel as if they might break if you tried to open them any wider than they already are. Overall I am happy with these tongs, I will just plan to use them for much smaller items in the future.

Question: How long is the warranty?

I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. This little baby really picks up stuff that my other one never did. It's light weight, perfect size for a one bedroom apartment with a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, and easily glides from one surface to another. It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. Since I've only had it for a week, the test will be how well it works (has a 1 year warranty) in the long run, but for the price I can't complain.

Question: Are you happy with the product?

I am really happy with this refurbished KitchenAid blender. I make fruit shakes that have frozen fruit, including a cut-up frozen banana, and the blender blends it all pretty well. Occasionally it bogs down and won't move the contents. I usually blend the frozen fruit on low, and as I write this it occurs to me that maybe I need to increase the speed in order to move those frozen pieces to the bottom and get the blender going again. I'll try it. But over all I love the blender. Sounds powerful. Crushes ice into snow if you let it.

I usually blend the frozen fruit on low, and as I write this it occurs to me that maybe I need to increase the speed in order to move those frozen pieces to the bottom and get the blender going again. I'll try it. But over all I love the blender. Sounds powerful. Crushes ice into snow if you let it.

Question: Where does stitching come undone

These bags are a decent price and very handy to have stashed in your purse, messenger bag, briefcase or glove compartment. I've recieved a number of compliments and questions about them, but I hesitate to recommend them for more than casual use.Size-wise, they are about the same size as your standard plastic grocery bag and about as useful. The handles are not long enough to go over your shoulder, so you will have to carry these bags by hand. While they do seem to hold a good amount of stuff, it seems unlikely you'll hit the 25-lb weight limit unless you're lugging home bags of canned goods--so you're probably safe there.While they are easy enough to stuff and unstuff, I haven't found that they are made very well. One of my bags already has stitching at the handle coming undone after only two uses! I think these are nice to have on hand for smaller shopping trips where the bags will come in handy but not see too much use, but I will be purchasing some larger (and hopefully more well-made) bags that can fit over the shoulder for daily use, including grocery shopping and larger trips.

Question: What is the compartment at the bottle of the bottle for?

ZingAnything Aqua Zinger - Green Sports Cap = AWESOMENESS! It's way better than I thought and more than I expected! Okay...read the product details, you will still be amazed when you receive it. It's extremely well and thoughtfully made. The "spout" at the top is wide not a typical straw. It holds a great amount of liquid and the compartment at the bottom that actually grinds the fruit/veggies is generous. Since buying the blueberry & pomegranate concentrates here on Amazon for my smoothies, I now add some to my (infused) water. I'm gonna look so darn smart this summer! hahaha :D

Question: why does the reviewer use white noise to block out other noise at home for?

I had a tower fan for over 8 years and it suddenly died and they didn't make it anymore. So I searched and found the Lasko 2551, decided to give it a try. It comes just needing to be attached to the base, which is easy. It's nice and tall, so half the air isn't blown into the floor. I use this fan constantly when I am at home, especially for white noise to block out other noise in the home and for sleeping soundly. For me, the fan is almost too quiet. It's sturdy, doesn't tip over easily, and has a nice cord length.

Question: After unpacking why was the ring submersed in soapy water?

This ring is dangerous. Handle with care. After unpacking I immediately went to the sink to submerse the ring in order to remove the product decal sticker on the side. I dropped it into the soapy water and let it sit. Then coming back with ample time to allow the decal to dissolve, I reached into the water to pull it out and my hand went into the ring and my finger came across the inside of the ring that is creased over. The contact point where the WOK will sit. I drew my hand out literally in pain as it opened a half inch cut into my finger bleeding as you can imagine.Simply put. BEWARE of this sharp edge. It is razor sharp.It fit my WOK perfectly but I'll always be concerned about cutting myself. I'll either correct the problem by bending the lip all the way around or I will put it in the trash to make sure no one else gets cut.

Question: What did the picture of the mixer show?

I was nervous about ordering this because the picture shows a small protrusion coming out of where it would attach to the mixer, and my current beater does not have any such protrusion. However, based on other internet research it appeared to be the right beater for my mixer (K5AWW, which is a 5qt model with the bowl lift, not a tilt head model). Sure enough, the beater came and there was no protrusion and it fit my mixer fine.This was a good replacement for my chipped-white beater. If you're looking at this product, you are probably trying to replace your chipped beater too! The "burnished" finish means I shouldn't have to ever replace this one...

Question: How many of the product did the user purchase?

I purchased two of these after experiencing how long theThermos Stainless King SK1005MBTRI4 16-Ounce Leak-Proof Travel Mug, Midnight Bluekept my coffee hot. I can fill my mug with coffee at 7:30am and it'll still be warm enough to drink at 3pm.Pros:- Built-in collapsible metal spoon. No need to pack extra silverware. The spoon stays clean until use and a dirty/used spoon isn't bouncing around in my pack getting other things messy.- The top cap serves as a cup.- The indentation around the middle of the thermos makes it easy to hold onto while eating.- The rim is comfortable to drink from.- No nooks and crannies on the inside to make cleaning difficult.- The entire bottom half is stainless steel, so my food is not in constant contact with plastic.Cons:- Hand wash only in order to preserve the blue finish.Others reviewers state that the mouth is too narrow to use the spoon. I find that it is a similar width to other thermoses I've used, and I have no problems using the spoon to eat chunky soups directly from the thermos. No thermos is the width of a soup bowl, so all of them require a bit of tilting if you want to lift a spoonful of something out of them. See the additional picture I uploaded for a size comparison.

Question: What main function does the product serve with respect to various items?

This bin is perfect for organizing all sorts of small kitchen staples. Extract bottles, small canned goods, sauce bottles, canned tuna, etc. You can group together like items and still see them at a glance. The handles make it easy to lift and carry the items. IT would also be handy for organizing small craft supplies, buttons, needles, glue, etc. Make sure you measure the storage shelves and compare it to the measurements of the bin to get the one that best suits your needs. My pantry has long, narrow shelves, and this fits fine. I will be getting more for various storage purposes.

Question: What came apart?

I was at first very impressed with the cutting board. After I had it for a few months, the planks began to separate on one side. It warped; and I was faithfully wiping it with cutting board oil after each use, and I never submerged it into the water. I would not recommend wood for a cutting board, go with the white poly cutting boards instead. I ended up purchasing a Stanton Trading 15 by 20 by 1/2-Inch Cutting Board later on. It's much better.

Question: Where are the bowls made?

I had a hodgepodge of bowls and wanted to streamline my collection. Thinking these would do double duty as both serving bowls and storage solutions I ordered them. I have not been disappointed in any way. The flexible blue plastic lids do say microwave safe on them and I will put them in the microwave if I'm only zapping for thirty seconds or so. But for longer times I use a Corelle saucer, like comes with tea cups, to cover the smallest and middle sizes. Don't know why really except that plastics in the microwave seems like a bad idea. I have enough height in my cupboard to store the smallest bowls with lids on and stacked. I don't nest the bowls but if I did I'd place a paper towel or cloth napkin between. I often make vegetable pot pies in the smallest bowls, something that is not available at my grocer and from past experience I doubt I could buy a frozen pot pie that came close to how good mine are. I love that these bowls are made in the USA.

Question: What are some of the bells and whistles of the cookware?

Excellent quality cookware. My husband has a tendency to use metal utensils in cookware so I was looking for something nonstick that could take a little abuse. I found it here. If you season them properly per the instructions included, they are indeed nonstick and very scratch resistent. Clean up is a breeze. Love the vented glass lids and coated handles. They take a while to heat up on the eye but once they get going, they cook on a much lower temp then my other cookware. All the handles have nice large holes that will fit any pot rack hook with ease. Wish they came in another color besides the bright red, but I can live with it as all else is wonderful.

Question: what other version of label has the reviewer purchased?

I'm horribly disorganized. Well, not really, but my husband couldn't seem to find things on the wire shelves in our kitchen. Until [dramatic music] Attack of the Mouse Horde.Suddenly it was necessary to put foodstuffs and other items in large plastic boxes; even though they are translucent enough to see through, they're still a little opaque. At a distance it was difficult to discern exactly what was where. I knew where the bread box was, but he'd end up taking two or three off the shelf when he wanted to make a sandwich.Incidentally, the box idea worked. We are no longer bothered by the [fading dramatic music] Mouse Horde.Enter Ziggyboard. I'd gotten these spice jar labels to ID spices in a glass jar set; the idea of being able to rewrite is ideal for my purpose. With the left-over labels (there are plenty of labels if you're only doing spices) I could ID the plastic boxes. Interesting result and totally unexpected.I can find things myself far more easily. Husband can find the bread and now knows where to stash things; in the past I would periodically put things away he'd left out. With such clarity of organization now present in my kitchen, I began looking for other things to use labels on, and whole cabinets were cleared, cleaned, and reorganized.I've now purchased the rectangular label version in an attempt to tame the worst of all problem rooms: my sewing/crochet/art studio. Honestly, one would think I had a hoarding problem or something...

Question: What didn't the author anticipate?

Yes, it's small, we knew that when we bought it so I'm not complaining about the product description. I guess I didn't anticipate how difficult it would be to transfer the grounds into the espresso thingy. I don't really have a small enough spoon to get in the grinder basin so I try to just grind a perfect amount and then carefully dump it into the press. It always makes quite a mess on the counter but I haven't looked for another product because this one does it's job of grinding beautiful aromatic coffee so well!
