Question: What kind of cups do a lot of spendy coffee makers use?

I have a very teeny kitchen and about 3 cubic feet of counter space. A traditional coffee maker takes up far too much room. I did not want to spend a fortune on a one cup brewer. Or the k cups that most of those more expensive makers use.I got this today. Followed the instructions and made myself of cup a joe. It was good. Makes a good cup of coffee and does it fast. The mug is good quality too. I love the automatic shut off as I tend to be absent minded first thing in the morning.If you are looking to make a good, basic cup of coffee using a machine with a small foot print, this will work. Easy to use as well.

Question: What can be irritating?

These plastic boxes are not bad for storage of various items, but they could be better. Assembly can be a bit irritating, though not really difficult. The plastic on all parts didn't want to bend cleanly, making it a bit fussy to assemble each piece. The slot on the front of each box for labeling is open at the top and bottom, making the labels not stay inside very well. Quite often when I go to these boxes, I'll find their labels lying on the floor. Thankfully, I also used my label printer to put adhesive labels on the lid of each box to indicate their contents. All in all, they're not bad for the price.

Question: What does the writer find out about the battery life of the opener?

From reading other reviews, my guess is the main problem is inconsistant quality from unit to unit.My experience has been mainly positive. After going through what seemed like a dozen convential can openers, I chose this one, on a whim. I works as advertised, but mine has 3 flaws:1. It won't open small cans, such as tuna or tomato paste. Attempting to open these will only run the batteries down.2. The battery life is shorter than I would like, but nothing like some reviews I've read here.3. The battery compartment is hard to open.Other than those 3 issues, I'm happy with my opener.

Question: What time of day does the author zoom through the house?

The Siwvel Sweeper G2 is a handy little dvice to have around - it's great at picking up crumbs, dog food, broken glass and dust - the ony thing I would say is that I have a large dog and I have to keep cleaning the brushes because the hair winds around the brushes - but for quick pick ups it's fantastic. I use it on the steps, hard floors, in the bathroom - We are getting ready to sell our house and it's great to just zoom through the house first thing in the morning. I gave my second one away to my son but now I am sorry I did because it would really be handy to keep one on each floor. It stores neatly and is great for picking up crumbs under tables etc. My house stays a lot cleaner and I only have to drag the vaccum cleaner out once a week - good for me! Good for my back.

Question: Was the product well received?

I was intrigued with this product since it had great reviews from other customers, but I was disappointed. First off, it looked like it was used, and the light that was supposed to come on when plugged in worked intermittenly. The unit produced enough steam, but it was not hot. I could put my hand in front of it and the steam was just warm. I returned the product, after two failed attempts at trying to clean anything with it. I don't know if it was just a bad unit, or if all steamers work this way.

Question: Why would you use this item?

These can be used with and without attaching them to the dogs. Obviously if you attach them they are more secure, but they work fine for painting and finishing if you just put them under the work on a counter top. I like the fact that they hold the work with minimum contact with it. This helps when I am finishing both sides and I have the work flat on a work table. If you use them with the dogs they just snap on and off. I guess there are other ways to get the job done and these are just a convenience.

Question: What is the main problem of in-sink soap dispensers?

While I can't speak to the long-term reliability of this product (only had it a little while), I can say that providing several feet of tubing to feed into a bulk bottle of hand soap was a stroke of genius. All of these in-sink soap dispensers have inexplicably narrow-necked bottles which makes them very difficult to fill without crawling underneath the sink and unscrewing the bottle. If you try to fill from above with typically-thick consumer hand soap, it simply overflows and spills all over your counter. Using the included tubing to feed into a gallon bottle of hand-soap eliminates all that hassle.Make sure you follow the priming instructions... if you try and prime with thick hand-soap, it'll take you forever. Prime from a glass of water, and when it starts dispensing, switch over to the soap.

Question: where was the authors old mug made

The ZOJIRUSHI TUFF MUG looks smaller than the one I have, that's about [...] and has a handle, but it actually holds the same amount of liquid (about 2-cups or 16-ounces filled to the brim with no ice).It's about 6 3/4" tall, with the lid on, and the lid has a small compartment for herbs, tea or sugar.The only thing I don't like is the lip of the mug has no cover like my old one does. It's just metal or whatever that metallic outer shell is made of and I just have to get used to it.But it does keep drinks colder/hotter than a regular cup. I also noticed that the this is made in Thailand and not Japan like my old cup was.

Question: Why was the carafe a disappointment?

I'm such a sucker for the stars ratings. This one got 4 four stars at the time of purchase so I thought it would be a good bet. When we got it, I immediately realized that I didn't take into consideration the size of it. There are only two coffee drinkers in our house and this is just way too big for our needs. We decided to keep it since we occasionally have guests over but for the 1-2 cups that we brew on a daily basis, this is way too big. It's very tall and the carafe is difficult to pour from unless it's full. Normally, we only have 2 cups in there and trying to get out that very last bit usually results is spilling it onto the counter. The carafe manages to keep the coffee warm even though it's not heating it but it's not super hot as well. I like my coffee HOT, so I pop it into the microwave for another 30 seconds. All it all, it makes a decent cup of joe but I would look at other coffeemakers if you don't need the 12-cups.

Question: What are they struggling to make in their pans?

I grabbed these mostly because I had the similar circulon pots and pans for couple years and was very pleased with how well the heat distributed but mostly to be honest with easy to clean, non stickiness of these. I like these although have to note and I have no idea if it is normal or not, pots from my previous set are still good, pans however I am ready to throw out - so sticky they became and I am struggling to even do scrambled eggs, let alone frying some cutlets and anything with more cooking time. They served me well for couple years though and I have no idea if two years was all they were supposed to be good from the beginning.

Question: Where does the author keep the disc holder?

I would have given this disc holder a 5-star rating except that the child-resistant safety button/knob is difficult for arthritic hands to lift and twist at the same time. If I am very careful when closing it, I can avoid having the safety latch catch, but that does not always work. I wish they had an option to purchase it without the child-resistant device, for non-child older households.Other than that, it is a great way to keep sharp blades and discs organized and safe! It is well-made and stores 3 discs, a dough blade, and the chopping blade. Although it is fairly large, it is easy to keep on top of my fridge, as it is very lightweight but sturdy.This would be a great item for a household with children, with its safety device.

Question: What kind of product was purchased?

After reading several of the negative reviews, I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk purchasing the Sharp SuperSteam, but considering that the only competing option that I was looking at, was a commercial, 1/4 size convection oven, which received more negative reviews than the Sharp, so the decision on which oven to purchase was actually a no-brainer, Now that my wife and I have been using the oven for a few weeks, I can earnestly say that we are very happy with the decision. The oven is solid, great looking and cooks very well in all modes, particularly SuperSteam, which we use most of the time, for just about everything except bread, which browns better with convection.Last week, we even purchased a second SuperSteam for our vacation house.

Question: What is the main problem with the product?

I do love this product because our gas stove seems to have only two settings: high and higher. Things were always boiling over too fast on "low" so when my mother in law gave me one if these, I wondered how I'd lived without it. The only problem is that they don't last long and I'm constantly having to replace it. I wish they made one that was a bit more durable. I'd gladly pay more to have it last longer. The first one the wooden handle broke off from too much heat exposure and the the metal was rusted and burned. This one is also starting to rust out pretty fast from the heat. But it's a great idea otherwise.

Question: What did the user think this would be like originally?

So I bought this thinking that it would work with any liquid soap with similar viscosity. Well I was wrong. "Softsoap" is arguably one of, if not the best selling hand soap liquid out there. When I put it in, I noticed that instead of giving me a neat dollop like it was doing with the proprietary soap, it was giving me literally a very tiny dribble drop that was too small to wash with. As you may have noticed, the proprietary (and much more expensive) soap was of a more diluted consistency. Don't get me wrong, I love the way it dispenses. It's a very clean crisp dispensing. So in light of the problem, I diluted the soap. I put the softsoap into a bottle and added about 20% water by volume wrt the soap into the bottle and mixed it up (but not too vigorously). The trick is to let it sit for a while (like a few hours) so that the two could have a chance to settle and mix through osmosis. Otherwise, I discovered that putting the mixture in too soon will cause the dispenser to dispense more of a splatter (water still separated from the soap) onto my hand.

Question: What's a second nice thing about the product?

These are a great way to be creative with summer snacking. I like to puree up whatever sweet fruits are in season and make pops out of them. Watermelon pops are amazingly refreshing on a hot humid day.I also lile to use fresh fruit juice of any flavor, raspberry lime is a favorite. Clean up is a breeze which is awesome. And the nicest part is that I control what goes in. As a matter of fact...I can go all out, which I believe I will, and make some Margarita and Daquiri Pops, ice pops aren't just for kids you know :-)I am editing this on 06/24/13 to add:One of the nicer things about this freezer pop making set is, the lids. I know that doesn't sound like such a big deal, but I have the old fashioned Icepop kit, and while it is okay(when the pop comes out on the stick) you have to keep the whole thing in the freezer til they are all consumed or transfer everything to a freezer bag. Again, not really a big deal, but I am not a fan of there being extra steps and more work for me. These molds, once frozen, are self contained and can just be put in any space in your freezer. I love that convenience...plus no stick to worry about.

Watermelon pops are amazingly refreshing on a hot humid day. I also lile to use fresh fruit juice of any flavor, raspberry lime is a favorite. Clean up is a breeze which is awesome. And the nicest part is that I control what goes in. <hl> As a matter of fact...I can go all out, which I believe I will, and make some Margarita and Daquiri Pops, ice pops aren't just for kids you know :-)I am editing this on 06/24/13 to add:One of the nicer things about this freezer pop making set is, the lids . <hl> I know that doesn't sound like such a big deal, but I have the old fashioned Icepop kit, and while it is okay(when the pop comes out on the stick) you have to keep the whole thing in the freezer til they are all consumed or transfer everything to a freezer bag. Again, not really a big deal, but I am not a fan of there being extra steps and more work for me. These molds, once frozen, are self contained and can just be put in any space in your freezer. I love that convenience...plus no stick to worry about.

Question: Who is the skillet a good size for?

This thing is great! I've only had it a couple weeks so I can't attest to its longevity, although all the other Presto products I have keep doing what they're supposed to without any breakdowns so I'd guess this one's no exception.Since I got this in the mail, I've made all sorts of stuff - fish/oyster courtboullion, pancakes, hoecakes, a seared steak (Yum!), even a cake! There's so much you can do with it. Another advantage is that it's allot more energy efficient than using a range top. All the energy is directed to one purpose, and not heating up your kitchen instead.And NOTHING sticks to the surface! The test of this was to cook coarse-ground yellow grits in it. They have a fairly high sugar content and will stick to virtually anything while cooking over an hour, creating a several hour soak to clean. Groats do this also. Anyway this skillet did the job. I just flipped the skillet over and out came the grits! I didn't even have to pry them out! I'm very pleased with this skillet, and it's the perfect size for a couple people. Great stuff!

Question: What material makes up the bottom of the infuser?

As a born Brit, steeping a good cup of tea is a great way to take a break in the afternoon (or anytime!). There are plenty of loose tea infusers, plain old stainless steel balls that hang off the side of your cup. But who wants to be so ordinary?This is a sweet little tea infuser. It holds the perfect amount for a single cup of tea and fills and assembles easily. The silicone leaf handle is easy to hold and although the tea infuser can float a little, it does a great job of steeping a cup of tea. When you are done, there is no need to find a saucer or napkin to rest it on because it comes with the perfect matching silicone mini-dish.Everything washes up easily and emptying the used tea leaves is also easy since the stainless steel is only the bottom half - plenty of opening to tap it out.A nice set for yourself or a tea drinking friend! Sample was provided for testing and review.

Question: What color is it?

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: Why is this buyer getting her purchase refunded?

Perhaps I should have read more carefully, but this is definitely a SHOULDER bad. The strap is too long to carry it as you would a shopping bag. But it is a fantastic design. The stretchy pouch is terrific! If folds up quickly and easily. I would give it five stars but ... it's the shoulder strap. I feel like I'm wearing a European Man Bag when I shop. Not what I want. I'll be regretfully returning them because of the shoulder strap. For those who want/like shoulder bags ... GO FOR IT ... it's terrific in design!

Question: How large is the bowl on this glass?

This glass is perfectly designed to bring out all of the best of a great whiskey, scotch, or bourbon. I find it also useful for high quality spirits you wish to drink neet. The bowl is shaped to help designate about one ounce of spirit (while permitting enough area to assist in the opening of the bouquet of the spirit). The narrow mouth concentrates the aromas for you full enjoyment (especially if you have pre-chilled the spirit you are drinking). The shape of the stem and bowl are wonderful to assist in the warming by your hands and the swirl of the spirit to bring out the brands best qualities on your palette.

Question: What is the author trying to elevate above the floor?

I have never used a laundry sorter before but after I found a towel that a mouse had decided to use to make a nest in as it was in a pile on my laundry room floor, I decided I needed to get my dirty laundry up off of the floor. It is fairly well made, the spot welds on the end sections seem to be firm enough. The wheels are good and sturdy as well. I can move it easily from one area to another as I need to and the light-weight canvas bags are washable so that is also a plus. I am well pleased with this at this time.

Question: what allows you to cook for one or multiple people?

This is a versatile steamer compared to others I've used before. The dual steamer basket allows for you to cook for just one, or a whole family. You will have to plan your meals to put the longer cooking item on the bottom. The innovative design allows the extra cooking capacity to break down for storage by allowing the bowls to fit inside each other and stack upside down on the unit so it takes up little more space than the base unit.The digital controls are a change over other units I've used which had an old style mechanical kitchen timer. The controls are easy to set and allow for more precise setting so dishes can be cooked the same every time you cook them. The max time that can be set at one time is 60 minutes, but as most things are cooked in half that time.The cons are that the unit can't be refilled while cooking and the overall construction and materials are not as good as others I've tried in the past. Full MSRP is a bit high, but if you can find this unit on sale, I'd definitely consider it.

Question: How long is the product warranty?

Many a vacuum cleaner has been sacrificed in my relentless battle against pet messes. With shedding dogs, long haired cats and two seed strewing cockatiels, daily vacuuming is mandatory at my house. Sadly none of the earlier combatants have been able to last against the unending barrage of hair, dander and assorted debris.Enter the Bissell. I am not mechanically inclined, but assembly was quick and easy. The suction is great and the attachments, especially the fur removal brush are terrific. Although I wish the tank had more capacity, it is fun to gauge your progress. The tank is easy to empty. I like the cord rewind feature and the vacuum is lightweight and easy to maneuver. There is a three year warranty.This is an affordable, effective vacuum cleaner. If it feels like you are loosing the battle against pet hair, this might just turn the tide. Recommended.

Question: what brand product is the review about?

My wife and I received this as a gift to add to our 10" and 12" copper core pans. At first we did not think we would find much of a use for it. However, as we often have both of us and our two teenage boys all in the kitchen at the same time during a meal prep, we have found several uses for it. We sear or sweat some ingredients prior to adding them to a larger recipe.If you already have parts of an All-Clad collection this will complement nicely. If you do not have any All-Clad this may be a good place to start.

Question: What does the ricer not have on the sides?

I love this ricer. It is extremely sturdy and heavy for its size, and is just a very high-quality piece of equipment that can be used for all sorts of things -- soups, purees, spaetzle, squeezing moisture out of wilted greens, etc. I also love that it doesn't have holes on the sides. My last ricer had side holes and I was constantly squirting boiling hot potato bits all over my kitchen. This ricer really aims the riced items downward into the bowl, which I appreciate.

Question: What was wrong with the pan when he first got it?

I wish I could give this pan a better review however, the one I received did not come properly "Pre-Seasoned." I can detect rust underneath which was not cleaned off prior to factory seasoning. Some of the rust is alredy surfacing. I will have to remove the old seasoning and rust and then properly season before actually using it. I have noticed that Lodge is not pre-seasoning their products as well as they used to. The last three items I purchased via AMAZON have the same problem. AMAZON should contact Lodge regarding this continuing trend. I suggest anyone interested in purchasing any of the Lodge line of products to consider the aforementioned first. One reason Lodge pre-seasoned products are higher is becasue they are supposed to be pre-seasoned and ready for immediate use.

Question: How much did the author spend?

I bought this to use for making jam. I have never made preserves before and wanted something that would make it easier for me figure out how far to fill the jar from the top. This worked perfectly. The interior wide mouth funnel easily sits on a jar with no wobbling, while the exterior hangs outside of the jar. It also easily sits on a countertop (although I would recommend lifting it from the jar you just completed, directly onto the next one you are going to fill). I was able to pick this up at Wal-mart for about $5. Yes, the cheapy ones run about $1.50 but this is sturdier and more stable so the price differential was worth it to me. It is also dishwasher safe on the top rack.

Question: How long after boiling does it turn off?

We've had this kettle for a few years now and we are ready for a divorce. The kettle has always been very loud when operating. As it aged the lever under the handle which turns on the kettle switches itself off during operation. I suppose this is due to the vibrations caused by the water moving around in the kettle. When it does manage to stay on for the whole boil it is also slow to turn off. Sometimes it is more than a minute after it boils that it decides to turn off. It is a beautiful kettle and well made but, its function is less than desirable.

Answer: more than a minute

As it aged the lever under the handle which turns on the kettle switches itself off during operation. I suppose this is due to the vibrations caused by the water moving around in the kettle. When it does manage to stay on for the whole boil it is also slow to turn off. <hl> Sometimes it is more than a minute after it boils that it decides to turn off. <hl> It is a beautiful kettle and well made but, its function is less than desirable.

Question: What is the user happy that the pan does not have?

I received this pan for FREE is exchange for my honest review. I have owned this pan for 1 week. I first seasoned the pan with a small amount of oil like the instructions stated. I have cooked eggs, pancakes and pan-fried a small fillet of fish on this pan since then. Everything slides right off. After the pan cools I wash it with warm, soapy water then towel dry. I have had no issues with the pan and I think that if you follow the instructions it came with it will last a very long time. Because the pan is free of a lot of harmful chemicals I think it is a great buy.

Question: What did the pump sound like?

We bought this for use for sleepovers at his Oma's as she doesn't like keeping our son (almost 2.5) 's crib up and it's a pain to put it up everytime, and now that we've converted his home crib to a toddler bed he hate's being contained....Got the package, opened it up to try it out- Son was very afraid of the pump as it sounds like a vacuum cleaner...Easy quick assembly- threw on the cover (a really soft and plush fleece cover, with straps that go all the way around for comfort and safety-and a really cheerful and cute pattern-definitely gender neutral) and he got right on and then gave us a big fight when we wanted him to sleep in his regular bed and had a fit when we deflated it, rolled it up, put it in it's bag, and put it away...So I'm saying this is an A+++++++++++++product! With quick and reliable delivery by Amazon!

Question: What size bed does the author own?

I mean it! I never realized that I woke up with back pain until I woke up from the first morning of sleeping on this bed with none! I was amazed. I fall asleep quicker than I ever have before... I sleep more sound than I ever have before... I don't catch myself waking up in the middle of the night like I used to on my spring mattress.The bed is firm enough that you don't sink into it and have a hard time getting out like I thought would happen, but instead you can't feel where your bones come into contact with the bed through your skin (like your hips and shoulders).Since I have a standard King/Queen frame I have to use my box spring from my old mattress to support the new Memory Foam mattress, but it works well. The only difference is that the bed gets a lot higher, and I, being 5'4, have to "jump" into bed now.Another thing that caught me off guard is how quiet the bed is. There's no squeaking anymore, if you shift by "hopping" your body around you don't hear a thing. It's amazing!Now if only this bed could make my boyfriend stop snoring...

Question: where do they frequently eat?

So convenient because, being stack-able, they take up very little room. The only thing I wish was different is that the holes in the salt shaker are so very small, I wish they were a tiny bit bigger. It's hard to get the salt out. Still, the shakers look have a clean, sharp look to them. I frequently eat in front of the TV so I have them on a tray right by the sofa where they are convenient. I taste the food sitting there and don't have to go back to the kitchen if I find I need salt or pepper. This is probably a use most people don't care about, but that's what I use them for.

Question: What types of ice cream has the user experimented with this mixer?

This is a great ice cream maker and does indeed do what it says. I have made tomato, green tea, avocado and sweet corn ice cream and they all tasted great! This is great for the type of people who like to try new recipes and make their own food products from scratch. This ice cream maker is also a good price, and easy to set up. There is one issue, which is that the mixer can sometimes freeze up and stop stirring. The combination of salt and ice causes the mixer to become too cold and it needs warming in order to get going again. This is simply a minor inconvenience and it was easy to fix.

Question: what is one of the concerns about the vacuum

I was very excited to try out this vacuum. For the most part it does well, but I have a few concerns:1. The cord is too short. Most vacuums allow me to plug in the middle of the house and do most of the house. This one does not.2. I hadn't had a canister vacuum for years. Now I know why. This would have been a much better vacuum as an upright.3. I don't like the sanitizing. It feels like nothing is happening. I don't know how you would know if you went over it enough or not.4. The dirt cup is not very big. We have a lot of dog hair, and while it picked it up great, I was always emptying the cup.It picks up well and isn't too loud. I just wish at least the cord was longer and the dirt cup was bigger, if they didn't make it an upright.

Question: What shouldn't you do with such cookware?

When I received this set, I was surprised to learn that the manufacturer does not recommend using them on ceramic or glass top stoves. The product description here lists ceramic as a suitable stove top, and doesn't specifically mention glass tops at all. But if you go on the Rachael Ray site and look for this product, you will see the following:"Special Features : Not Recommended for use on Ceramic/Glasstop Stoves"That's a "special feature"? ;) Too bad it isn't "special" enough to list on this product's description. I submitted a request that this information be added.From the looks of this product, I wouldn't be surprised if the coating scratched easily (even if you never put it in the dishwasher, which is always a big no-no with coated cookware like this). These skillets do not appear to be very good quality.

Question: Where is the black rubber that helps improve grip?

As I've gotten into home mixology, I've realized that I need proper tools. This OXO double jigger fits the bill perfectly!Each side has three very clearly marked increments for very precise measurements. While it may sound silly, the black rubber in the middle really does improve grip substantially. This is also dishwasher safe. I typically keep it tucked away, but while out, this is a very nice looking piece of equipment, perfectly matching many other items like myOXO Good Grips Steel Cocktail Shaker(also highly recommended).Perfect execution on a necessary bar tool at a wonderful price. A real must-buy!

Question: is the product expensive?

The price is good, but the unit is shaky and as one reviewer said, it is **smaaaall**. I can only fit Le Creuset 5qt Braiser, 5.5qt Round, 3.5qt Round Wide and that's about it. The top 3 shelves are for 8.5" and smaller pots which is pretty dang small. I can't fit my oval skillet (I hung it from a hook on the curl at the top of the rack) but no room for a 3.75qt Covered skillet. The Enclume racks are larger but 3x the price. Not sure if I will keep it since 3 shelves remain unusable for me. Too bad, the price was just right.

Question: What kind of coffeemaker does the customer use?

It is so nice to have a cord-free electric kettle. My old kettle that i bought on Amazon on January 28. 2008 still works fine but seems to take longer to bring a full kettle to a boil. This kettle is fast, holds more water, the interior is BPA free and it has an on off switch. It is a real winner in my book! i like the safety features of this kettle and especially not having a cord dangle as I'm filling my teapot with boiling water,My expensive coffeemaker has a plastic filter basket which I think imparts a flavor to my coffee. Since i received this water Kettle I have been using my old all glass CHEMEX coffee maker and enjoying our coffee even more. It is so easy and fast to boil water with this stainless steel kettle that I'll often use it to bring water to a boil and then pour it into a pot on the stove when cooking pasta, quinoa or oatmeal. This pot is fast, efficient, healthy and safe- I couldn't be happier.

Question: What is the problem with the mats after washing?

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.
