Question: What must you do every time you want to brew since there is no default setting?

I was so excited to upgrade from the KCup system to the Vue, but that's where it ends. I knew going into it that my coffee choices would be limited and more expensive, but was not prepared for my 14 ounce travel cup to not even come close to fitting under the dispenser. It worked fine in my KCup Platinum. I'm shocked being as this brewer offers up to an 18 ounce travel mug brew selection. It is much shorter than the previous KCup area, even with the drip pan totally removed. So now I have to brew into a separate cup and pour into mine, more trouble and more to wash. Kuerig, you really dropped the ball on this one. Also, you can't have a default setting for brewing with one touch, you must pick size, etc. every time. Very let down.

Answer: you must pick size, etc. every time

Question: What did they use prior to this?

I bought these to use instead of paper plates. Since its just the two of us, I started using paper to avoid either running a half full dishwasher or hand washing dishes. I decided to give these a try. They're great. They're so much lighter that it's not a big deal to wash out and plop into the drainer. Plus, due to the size, you can fit your entire meal along with a roll onto the same plate without crowding.I like these so much I think I'll get some bowls too.

Question: What types of strips does the mitts have?

I ordered 2 of these mitts and I love them! They keep my hands cool and have a good grip because of the silicon strips in the mits themselves. They are well made, look very expensive, but aren't and I will order from this seller agaIn, when the mitts wear out.

Question: When the item I ordered arrived?

These are fabulous tablecloths. I needed 10 for a charity event so I wanted a good product at a good price. I couldn't have done better. I ordered 10 ivory ones (two different sizes) on a Saturday night and they arrived by Wednesday. The quality is much better than even more expensive ones. I like the true hemmed seams and the nice weight of the fabric. The best part is the stain and wrinkle resistance of the fabric. When our event was over, we had to clean up and pack up quickly; so the tablecloths just got balled up and put in a huge bag. The next day, I pulled them out to wash them and saw that the one from the wine table was covered with red wine stains. The one from the dessert table was also filled with many stains, including chocolate. I considered just throwing those two away as I was sure they would not come clean. To my surprise, they came out spotless! These are ivory tablecloths that now look just as good as they did new, even washed in cold water. (I wash all of my laundry in cold water with Tide Cold Water detergent.) I have already bought two more (in round sizes) to use in my home. My only disappointment is they only come in white, black, and ivory; if they came in more colors, I would order more.

Question: What happened to the first mixer?

I have just paid $129 to have Kitchenaid repair my two-year old 600 series mixer. It died while making cookie dough. This is my second 600-series mixer; Kitchenaid (to their credit) swapped out the first under warranty after it started behaving erratically.The primary use of this mixer is to make 4 loaves of bread/week. I never expected miracles: bread flour is hard to knead and I'm careful about kneading times and quantities. This is not a professional machine, it's a home appliance. Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use.So, I have reluctantly come to agree with the Kitchenaid bashers here. Based on my experience, the current crop of mixers is not high quality and my next mixer will not be Kitchenaid, sorry to say.It's sad to watch an iconic brand destroy its reputation.

Question: What did the author not save?

I am hoping to send this back, except that I did not save the box! Hopefully, Amazon will accept the return. I was sure I would love it...and I do love the way it looks on my stainless steel stove, but that is about it. When you go to pour boiled water out, the lid will fall off easily and the water splatters all over the place out the spout! I almost got burnt. The spout is very wide and water just bursts out of it. I much prefer the All Clad pot that I replaced this with. Will be returning this one.

Question: Was it easy to install?

I really like this dispenser. I didn't use the adhesive it came with. I purchase the 3M strips, water resistant type, instead. I didn't wish something stuck to my shower that if it broke I would chance damaging my shower wall removing it later. This is very easy to install, I just stuck the 3Ms on the back on the flat parts (i used 4) and stuck the mounting bracket to the wall and slid the dispensers on to it. The front part with the clear dispensers slides off the wall bracket so you can clean it easier. The white top is a cover so you can fill it while its on the wall. You need to prime the pump with the first use which takes a bit of time. Don't give up, just keep pressing the button until it dispenses. You can check you progress by removing the dispensers off the bracket and look at the clear valve behind the buttons...you can see if the liquid is making its way through or not. I use think cream rinse and it works fine for me. This is just a really neat item. I'm going to purchase another one for my other shower.

Question: What was the other purpose that has served well for this item?

I bought these simply to try and reduce the amount of disposables in my home. I was not thinking of any use for them beyond the obvious of cupcakes and muffins normally baked in paper cups. I am thrilled to report that they work just great for those purposes, and without any greasing or oiling required, but they have also served me well as fudge molds. And my new favorite use is for freezing stock when I make a large batch; impossible to unmold neatly from an unlined muffin tin, and awkward in an ice cube tray, stock frozen in these tidy little cups unmolds cleanly and in the perfect amount to pop out later for a serving of ... whatever you use stock for. I love these, I'm glad I bought two sets, and I may order two more soon.

Question: Why must you use some kid of protection to lift the lid?

I have just about every piece in this line and I love it..the pans all cook evenly and with less heat than any other cookware I've used. Keeping it shiny and beautiful is easy..just follow the instructions that come with it. A little bit of white vinegar after washing keeps it sparkling. I don't have a dishwasher and it's easy to clean. The ONLY drawback is that you have to use a towel of pot holder to lift the lid when they're on the stovetop because they get hot. I've recommended it to friends and they love it, too. You can go from stove to oventop. It's very versatile. Buy it! You can't beat this price.

Question: when did the writer buy their old computer?

I finally got around to using the attachments to clean out the inside of my old computer. I bought it at a local computer shop about five years ago. It had been made for someone who never picked it up. I was going to get rid of it because it kept cutting off. I decided to take off the cover and see if there was something I could do. I figured, I couldn't hurt it, so why not. There was a unit inside with a fan attached (not the one on the power box). It was packed with so much gunk that I could not clean with q tips. This attachment worked wonderfully! I vacuumed out all the accumulated dust as well. It appeares to be fine. I will see and if it remains ok I will upgrade it. All I will need is an additional memory chip and win 7. I can also use these attachments to clean other things as well. They are worth every penny I paid for them.

Question: What kinds of deserts can be made?

These Tortilla Bowl Makers are a Great and Healthier alternative to Frying Tortillas by Baking them in the Oven, I use Whole Wheat Tortillas and they look Terrific, sometimes I brushed them with Different Flavored Oils for a Better Tasting and Crispy Tortilla.

Question: What do the sheets do with the mattress?

To begin, I'm a bit of a sheet snob. Before I found these, if it wasn't 1000+ thread count, I wouldn't bother. But I saw the high reviews and breathability claims and thought I'd give it a shot...and have since ordered another set in a different color and don't think I'll go back to plain cotton. Normally I shy away from prices this low on items that seem foreign to me, but this fabric is light, super soft, cleans well, and warm. Colors are true to form, the sheets fit my deep mattress (17-18"), and I'll definitely order again if/when I need new sheets.

Question: What kind of mats are these?

After hand washing these chopping mats, they wont' stay flat. Even after flat storage, these mats do not lose their cylindrical longing. Due to the curvature, using these mats is difficult for chopping items such as onions, herbs, or any lighter object that will slip off. I have to hold the mats flat with one hand ..making chopping almost impossible.

Question: what does the corkscrew replace

This corkscrew replaces a costly winged corkscrew that had it's worm break inside the cork.I thought this corkscrew would be harder to use then the winged type, but am pleasantly surprised that it is easier to use. The foil cutter is effective and easy to use. The teflon coated worm screws into the cork with almost no effort. Unlike the winged type, you turn the bottle, not the corkscrew, to insert the worm into the cork. The two step hinged prying tool makes it easy to start the cork out, and then with a slight shift get the cork all the way out. More pleasant features are that a bottle cap opener is included, this tool feels great in the hand, it's about the cheapest good quality corkscrew around, and it's good looking. The pictures don't do it justice.Salud!

Question: What size is it?

The Rowenta vacuum is wonderful for small areas. This item does great on hardwood floors, area rugs, and small carpeted areas. It is great for small messes that need to be gotten up quickly without having to drag out the heavy vacuum. However, this vacuum does not do so great on large carpeted areas such as living rooms. To me it didn't pick up like a full size vacuum on large area floors.This item has the angled head so it gets into corners very nicely which I love. I also love that it is small and so is the charging base so it stays in the corner out of the way until ready for use. It is a small stick vacuum so for me it serves its purpose and I give it a 5 star review. If you are looking to use this to replace your old vacuum I would suggest something bigger than the Rowenta cordless stick vac. If you are looking for a vacuum for quick messes and hardwood floors then look no further than this great stick vac.

Answer: small

It is great for small messes that need to be gotten up quickly without having to drag out the heavy vacuum. However, this vacuum does not do so great on large carpeted areas such as living rooms. To me it didn't pick up like a full size vacuum on large area floors. This item has the angled head so it gets into corners very nicely which I love. I also love that it is small and so is the charging base so it stays in the corner out of the way until ready for use. It is a small stick vacuum so for me it serves its purpose and I give it a 5 star review. If you are looking to use this to replace your old vacuum I would suggest something bigger than the Rowenta cordless stick vac. If you are looking for a vacuum for quick messes and hardwood floors then look no further than this great stick vac.

Question: What is the most important feature?

It is small (a plus in my small kitchen), looks good, and works well.Heating technology hasn't changed much over the years. The way to grab a section of the market is to come up with a different package. Function is most important, with aesthetics a close second. The oven is large enough to easily toast four slices of bread. Any smaller and it would be inadequate for most. The thing that sets this product apart is the design of the door. It rotates to open and close. It feels sturdy and well balanced. Because it rotates, the oven takes up less space than ovens with doors that swing open. I have a larger desktop oven that has been completely replaced by this one. One of my favorite benefits of the rotating door is the I don't have to clear space in front of the oven so that objects do not obstruct the door. Finally the door can be removed and replaced very easily, which allows for quick and easy cleaning of the door itself, and the inside of the oven.The door makes the difference, and the size of this particular model is perfect for a single person or a small family.

Question: What type of surface does the grill have?

It is rare that I give 5 star reviews, but this grill is a really fun little gadget. We have been using it regularly for several months and the non-stick surface shows no signs of wear.We have used it to grill foods on the dining room table itself and our guests were wowed. We have the black one and it looks very stylish on the table. It is suitable for casual to semi-formal meals. At a big family breakfast, we set it up next to the stove and used it to cook a whole package of bacon at once (smooth side of grill) and thanks to the smart design, all the grease drains away (into the drain pan below) making it so easy to transition to the eggs and pancakes without dirtying a whole cupboard of frying pans. The large cooking surface heats evenly and accurately. It expands the usable cooking area beyond our stove and has been a big time-saver when cooking for a large number of people.My only gripe (and it is a minor gripe) is that the unit is not dishwasher safe and is a bit tedious to clean. Because grease and food splatters beyond the cooking surface, the whole thing requires cleaning after use. There is a handy scraper tool included to help clean both sides of the grill surface, but additional scrubbing with a brush and sponge is still required. It usually takes about ten minutes to clean and dry the whole thing.All in all, I have loved this grill and would recommend!

Question: Does the pan compare to other brands?

I purchased these because I simply couldn't resist the color! I love them so much! I have a full set of Calphalon which I love too, but I find I reach for my green pans most often, mostly, I think because their cheery color makes me happy! They heat evenly and well, cook everything nicely and clean up very well. Sure they get food stains on their finish and on the rivets, but a little Bon Ami on a non-metallic scubbing pad and it comes right off and they're good as new! I cook a lot and I am very pleased with this set!

Question: What did the customer also purchase?

Purchased this thermometer along with the CDN IRXL220 Large Dial Insta-Read Thermometer. I use the Large Dial for roasts and this one for poultry (this thermometer's sensing part extends from its tip for 3/4 of an inch which works better for the thinner poultry meat). I tested both of them out of the box on a glass of ice water and a pot of boiling water. The readings were right on at 32 and 212 degress plus or minus a smidgen of a degree. So far, this thermometer works well and has not given me any problems. Its hold feature comes in handy when you need to get to a better light source to read the temperature.

Question: Which model wasn't as popular with consumers?

I bought one for my wife last year, now I bought one for my granddaughter. Amazon really outdid it this time. Initial message said delivery estimate of 2-8 DEC, fantastic, then a revision the next day to show 1-7...superb, but it arrived yesterday, 29th - you folks really rock! It is a quality processor and has many favorable comments from users. The same Model but in White, didn't fare so good with users comments, funny. I highly recommend this Model and Amazon handling the sale. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all.

Question: What do you not use the pan for?

Cute novelty pan, but do not recomend for the 3D version cake. I used this for Thanksgiving and made the pumpkin cake recipe that came with the pan, it was good but had to bake a lot longer than recomended, and the head of the turkey over cooked and would not put together for the 3D version cake. I was dissapointed in this. I also put the turkey dressing in this pan and baked it, it was a hit for our Thanksgiving dinner. So you might want to try it for other things than the 3D cake. Cornbread would be cute! I did find it for half the price that was on Amazon so sent it back. You might want to shop around.

Question: What brand of mug might not keep liquids hot for up to four hours?

After buying several plastic insulated travel mugs from Starbucks, I was looking for something better. The best thing the Starbucks travel mugs had going for them is that they did not leak, unless you screw the top on too tight; then the rubber gasket comes loose from the lid and it leaks around the gasket. Another reviewer here had mentioned that the Contigo mug she had did not keep hot for the 4 hours indicated. Did a bit more research, including finding both models at a local retailer. The plastic/foam insulated are only rated for 1 hour. The stainless steel/vacuum model is rated for 4 hours and I'm finding that it is indeed keeping water and coffee hot for 4 hours. They're both leakproof, but another big advantage to the stainless steel for me is that it doesn't absorbe taste or odors like the plastic will. I have smallish hands with weak grip strength and the push button mechanism for drinking is not difficult for my hand at all. Will be purchasing another to keep in my suitcase. It's the perfect travel mug.

Question: For whom did the reviewer purchase this item?

Wow, cheap stuff, seems like it'll last a while though. Got it for the kids for their new apartment so they would have something stainless, even if it's not high quality. Went to see them the other day and even though someone else bought them some sort of "famous TV chef lends name to garbage cookware" stuff as well, they were using these. Stainless, even low quality stuff is great. I still use 20 year old superstore bought garbage stainless pots n pans from 15+ years ago with my high quality stuff. You don't need calphalon to heat chef boyardee or boil some rice. My kids are learning to cook now, just getting into the "OMG food doesn't only come from a can or from the freezer?" stage of their lives and this is prefect to learn on.

Question: What is the brand name of the travel mug?

Forget all of those cheap plastic travel mugs. There must be a graveyard somewhere of millions of those little disappointments.Instead, pony-up a few extra bucks and finally get the travel mug you deserve.The Thermos travel mug is well made and, here's the thing, it actually keeps drinks hot or cold. What a concept ! I knew it was different right away when I picked it up and felt it's weight and solid construction. I also noticed I couldn't feel the heat from a hot beverage in my hand.I purchased one with a handle for my wife who often has her hands full as she rushes out in the morning and one without the handle for me.So, don't hesitate. This is the travel mug you've been dreaming about.

Question: What did I buy?

Before buying these gorgeous glasses, I read a lot of reviews about how the glasses broke so easily and I just want to say that those glasses had to have been from a bad batch. I have successfully dropped these glasses in the sink several times and not a single scratch has came about. I would buy these glasses again in a heartbeat. You do get a lot of glasses however. I live alone and don't need 16 glasses on even my most laziest week, but if you have company over a lot then obviously you would need more...Anyway, great set of glasses.

Question: What kind of cup is this product?

I got the two cup angled measuring cup from Oxo because I'm always trying to get the right amount of water for our oatmeal when I'm still half asleep and it's a nuisance using a regular measuring cup. Knowing this was made by Oxo, I assumed everything about it would be "user friendly".The concept of the angle, and being able to see where the water is, really does work. And the handle is very comfortable to hold, but, when it comes to wanting to get 2/3 of a cup of water, the numbers are relatively small and thin and not that easy to read. The major measurements such as 1 cup is larger and thicker but the smaller ones, in red, disappoint.

Question: What is a great feature about this pan?

I read so many reviews on this and other comparable pans. I decided on this one for the price and for the handles. I agree, the handles do help with balance and made it easier to put in or take out of the oven. The glass bottom feature is great...no mess trying to separate the cake from the bottom in order to serve. I just remove the side ring and serve! However, my disappointment would be the difficulty in trying to put the glass bottom back into the ring! I had such a hard time..especially knowing how delicate the glass bottom is. If you do not put the bottom in just right, it will not seal properly resulting in leaks! Unless I am not aware of the proper technique in putting this pan back together, I think it's a shame I had such a hard time. I really had high hopes for this pan. But thanks to the glass bottom, at the end of the day, I didn't have scratches from scrapping the bottom and the pan still looks great.

Question: A claim would be made if it stopped working by when?

I've been trying to find this type of corkscrew which potentially can last for years instead of breaking within months. This is "guaranteed for life", though I'd hardly expect I'd ever make a claim unless it died within the first year or so. Seems extremely well made and solid and comes with that stylish and effective steel and rubber bottle stopper. Will keep fingers crossed.

Question: What size can does it hold?

I bought this shelving unit while attempting to organize my kitchen pantry. It's been my favorite purchse for the kitchen, period. It fits exactly how I need it to (thanks to the expandable feature) and has a no-slip grip for cans to sit on. It's nice to look in my pantry and see every canned item I have now. I have an assortment of sizes...small tomato paste cans to extra large chili mix cans and this holds them all well. It seems to be durably made so I hope that means it will last me forever!

Question: how many inches is the memory foam topper?

I ordered these sheets and must say was a bit surprised at the thinness of them, esp to be 1500 thread count. All of my other 1500 count sheets are really thick and cannot be seen thru. These sheets were very light and you can see through them BUT they were SO soft! I washed them and put them on my bed immediately. I had a great night sleep! They were incredibly soft and comfy. They also fit my pillow top matress that has a 4" memory foam topper perfectly. I find it difficult to find even deep pocket sheets that fit well. I came back and ordered 2 more sets. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Question: What was mentioned in one of the reviews?

Exactly as described, except... that I expected to assemble it. It came assembled. I have a 50" plasma TV that weighs about 60 pounds on it and it holds it perfectly.I noticed that one of the reviews mentioned the underside of the top was unfinished. The one I received IS finished on the underside of the top. I moved the little rubber feet from the ends of the legs to 3" in from the edge, which allowed me to hang the stand 2.5" off the back of my credenza to make room to place a dialog speaker in front of the stand.It's a pretty basic item, but it is unobtrusive and strong.Can't say much more other than to repeat it is exactly what I expected and fits my purpose perfectly.

Question: What persuaded the customer to purchase this product?

This isn't the first product that I've purchased based on the strenght of Amazon reviews, but it is the most "gimmicky." But on the slim chance that it could work, I was willing to give it a go because I absolutely loathe cooking pasta. Now don't get me wrong...I love to eat it...it's the cooking that I can't stand. The constant wait and taste, wait and taste, wait and taste...and then I invariably wait too long and end up with mush. Ack! I dreamed of something that I could just set into motion, put some sauce on low, then pick up around the house or get a little work done in the office until it was time to eat. Now I have my wish. Pasta is now so convenient that I'm experimenting with my own sauces, trying some new recipes, and just looking forward to cooking with it. My only complaint about the product, and it's a minor one, is that the strainer isn't as efficient as it could be. Because of the design of the lid, a bit of water gets easily trapped at the bottom of the strainer and can't exit because it's either hung up around the lip of the lid and clinging to dear life or because it can't reach the first slot in order to exit. As a result, you get about two tablespoons or so of water if you dump directly to your plate. If you're like me and don't like the excess water, a quick drop in a colander does the trick.

Question: Compared to Vicks which produces more moisture?

I have this and Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier. Both very convenient to use in bedrooms. Crane produces more moisture than Vicks. I'm going to by another one for office.

I'm reducing the stars.Update:I found out that it does not work because of the broken thermostat switch. It was torn by scum. I bought a new one from the Internet and replaced it.

Question: What happened to the wood when it was being put together?

In the photos, this dresser looks great. Sleek black color, and looks to be high quality construction. I expected to get at least Ikea furniture quality, but overall, I would say Ikea furniture would be slightly better quality than this dresser. If you want solid wood construction, this probably isn't the dresser for you. While it is made of wood, I had 1 piece of wood shatter on me when I was putting a screw into a pre-drilled hole on the dresser. The wood just cracked when the screw started going into the pre-drilled slot for it.The replacement piece took about 3 weeks to get to me but thankfully, unlike other reviewers I got the correct piece the first time. Also of note, the sliders are all made of plastic. I am unsure how this will affect the durability and life-span of this drawer, but I would've preferred metal sliders for the price. Putting the dresser together can be confusing because some parts of the instructions aren't clear. Aside from that, the biggest annoyance, when you pull out the dresser, you lose about 1/3 of the space because that part of the dresser does not pull out and stays inside due to the design of the sliders. This bothers me to no end as finding clothing I stuffed into the back of the drawer is difficult. I have noticed some higher priced dressers at Ikea do not suffer from this problem.Overall, you get a sleek black dresser that takes about 40 minutes for the layman to put together. Outside the major annoyance with how much space won't be visible this dresser is a decent value.

Question: What is the canister for this coffee press made of?

I'm not actually using this for coffee, I kinda prefer drip coffee (or espresso, but I'm too cheap to buy an espresso maker). I'm using this press for tea, loose leaves of course, usually blue flower earl grey or Irish breakfast tea, my two fave flavors.The great improvement in this coffee press, compared to the press I already owned is that this one has a glass canister part for holding the hot liquid. My old coffee press had a clear plastic canister, which meant that I could only use it for tea because using it for coffee would have made the canister smell like coffee and then all subsequent cups of tea would have tasted a bit like a coffee+tea hybrid, eek, that is a bad, bad combo.Like my other press, the plunger has a two part filtration system , they rinse off well for cleaning and make it easy to stay tidy (I'm a terrible housekeeper and easy to clean kitchen tools are a huge bonus in my mind).

Question: What is the brand of rice cooker being reviewed?

Several types of rice are the only grains I eat regularly, with a few other healthy but icky ones on occasion. I bought this cooker because my last routinely gave me a surprise - often scorched - batch. Now my rice is perfect, I love the fact that the Zojirushi gives me a simple setting for every type I prepare. It can be preset to cook so my rice is ready when needed. Great rice is a no-brainer.I cracked up when I discovered my very much Japanese daughter-in-law has a Cuisinart and I have this lovely, versatile Japanese model.....

Question: How can the colander be supported without a human holding it?

I really like this version of collapsable colander. I had one that was collapsable and shaped kind of like a tennis racket and I loved it but it was really hard to hold let alone dump something in it from a heavy water filled pan. I didn't have enough arms!! So having this sit over the sink is PERFECT for that issue It folds up and stores away easily. Its easy to clean. Its a little tough at first to squish it down but it gets much easier after you do it once or twice. Brilliant invention.
