QuestionDoes this use those little pods to make the coffee?
Asked 9 years ago by Joe.
- Answer It uses K cup hard pods, soft filter pods, and has a filter cup included to use ground coffee, too. For the price this is cool little unit. Weighs so little I took it on a flight for an island vacation! We enjoyed all our favorite K cups whenever instead of firing up the big coffee maker.

QuestionThe water does not seem to be pumping and making horrible noise that sounds like whistling and air. It was working and is relatively new. Any suggestions?
Asked 5 years ago by Card.
- Answer I just solved the same problem. The plunger that punctures the pod was plugged. Coffee pot cleaner didn’t work so I disconnected the lid by prying off the connecting arm with a screw driver so I could the remove the upper assembly. Then I used the screw driver to pry off the rubber connecting tube. Then I pushed a small drill bit through the puncture tit and a plug of coffee grounds came out. Reassemble and it works fine.

QuestionWhat sort of warrantee does this coffee maker have? I had it less than 3 months and it broke.
Asked 8 years ago by HappyMom.
- Answer Forcing the on switch to make coffee before the water is hot enough, will trip the thermal overload, and kill it. My husband did it. Now bought a Kureig, an plans to fix the Chefman later.

QuestionThe video states "brews in seconds". Is this being somewhat optimistic? Certainly this must take at least 3-4 minutes to brew? Is the switch mechanical? Can it be left on and start when it's plugged in? I have plans to use with a Smart outlet & Alexa.
Asked 7 years ago by TE5LA.
- Answer Yes it takes about a minute to brew and the on button is touchy. It turns on when power is applied to the outlet if left plugged in. Mine is in my boat and there is not always power to that outlet so if I don’t unplug it it turns on on it’s own once there is power.
