Have been hearing that pods will eventually clog pipes. Is this true?

Clog what pipes? If you're talking about drain pipes I can't even see how that is possible. Somebody is being silly on purpose. I have no problems with Clogged pipes in anyway.

Cannot imagine why they would. That would probably be determined by the type of detergent you use, and how much. You do use quite a bit of water (though less than automatic machine), but that should not be something to worry about. I have been using mine for 5 months and have not seen any hint of problems.

I have not heard such a thing. However, the Laundry POD only requires a small amount of detergent so the pods may contain too much detergent for one load of laundry in the Laundry POD.

I would say no, the drain inside of the pod itself doesn't allow for large chunks of debris to filter out. I personally live in Florida (sand galore) and just shake my clothes out well before cleaning. I haven't noticed Anything but water going out into my sink.

The pods act as the only filter on this unite and there is no additional filtering. If you wanted to use your own grounds, you'd need to make your own pods (there are kits for this) or find a separate compatible filter.

I don't anything about a pod sealer, however, I have a small strainer that fits in my cups, and I use it in case any coffee grounds should come out of the pod. I actually haven't used the "do it yourself" pods very often, but I think the strainer would solve the leak problems.

yes - I ordered the Perfect Pod maker, but did not like using the unit or filters....I use only the tea bags and fine coffee - maybe more work, but I had issue with the amount of coffee able to be used in the filter - causing very weak coffee!

I have 2 auto mechanics in my family which leads to some really nasty clothes. However, I have never used more than one pod at a time. Actually, you should use the water temperature dial, turned to hot, for really dirty clothes regardless of size.

In our case, we have never had that problem. Other than it being louder than our Keurig, we've been very happy with the unit. My advice would be to exchange it, but not return it. When you get the pods directly from the CBTL brick and mortar store, at $.60 a piece, this machine is a joy and a great value.

Yes they will, You may have to turn the pod over when you put it in the pod place... I used to have a B/D single serve pot and made my own pods all the time.

I have used the Perfect Pod sealer but THESE DO NOT SEAL WELL. I wrote a review on January 5, 2015 explaining my experience with these. I ordered more of the Perfect Pod replacement filters which do seal well. Last year I purchased another brand which also worked well but they have been discontinued. These are a waste of money and time.

Mine only makes noise when I forget to add water, and all my pods have always grown and done well. Ive had it for a couple years now. Love it. The only plant that didn't do really well was dill. But I still got some off it

Mine clogs! I love the container except for the plastic spigot and heard that you can buy a metal one from Amazon that is good. No sure which one it is.. sorry I could not be more helpful.. :(sorry I cannot be more helpful.. :(

I have had not had any problems switching between the pods and the duck pods. Be sure to place the duck pod with the tab vertical.

Yes, just make sure it is mixed up well. If you leave lumps of cocoa, they may clog the spout.

I have this problem as well and I used a paper clip to unclog the hollow needle and it works. Since then, I tried to wash it by running warm water without a K-cup once a week and it hasn't clog again. You will know if it clog when you put in a brand new K-cup and only water or something looks like water comes out.

I have the same coffee maker and I use these and they work perfectly. Once the pod is sealed it looks like a hat with a brim. The coffee pod works best if it is pushed into the recess with the brim down. Logic tells you to do it the other way and leave the brim extending over the top of the pod opening, but that interferes with the watertight seal of the pod drawer to the coffee maker and you will end up with water all over the counter. Leave the hat brim side down and push it into the pod opening and it will work just fine.

I my experience if you use pellet hops they will clog the screen and not your wort to flow properly.

Sorry for the late response but i finally got around to testing it to answer your question..the thing is, in order to get the water compartment open, you have to pretend like you're replacing or putting in a new pod anyway. and the same pod can't be used twice because the second time around only brews murky looking water, which tells me the pods are only good for use one time. hope this helps

The Perfect Pod Maker is a great device for sealing the pods. You just pre-heat it till the light comes on and then press down evenly around the front half of the shell with firm pressure. I count to 5 and it has worked perfectly every pod. Sticking with the EasyPack filters is a good idea, as others haven't gotten the same reviews, but these I can vouch for.
