Has anybody have any luck with this awful medicine cup, such as how to unclog or any replacement

Following the directions helped. Use vinegar and water..soak it then let it air dry.

I have tried several ways to unclog it, but to no avail. If you call the company, they'll send you a replacement, but not before asking you a lot of stupid questions and finding some way to make it *your* fault.

I put it in warm water with a little vinegar for about 10- 15 minutes, then rinse with plain water,let it dry.

I would call the Company, I have one and it has done really good. I have had mine for about two years and love it. I use it every day, I make all my coffee and tea with the water and that is the only water I drink. I hope you can get it fixed. Wish I could have been more help.

We have the same problem. we have also tried the eco reuseable cups and have had no luck. we use them as emergency only because the coffee doesn't taste as good or as strong.

I have not experienced this with these K Cups. However I have had that happen with the standard ones. Try to a rinse cycle without a pod in there. It'll clean out the channels and then try again. Any more than 5 grinds is too much.

Same thing happened to me. I could not find one and eventually had to dispose of the entire thing. You're better off buying them at the store and making sure replacement carafes are available. Sorry I could not be of any more help.

same here- tried cleaning it, no luck- when I first turn it on a lot of mist comes out and then hardly any, then puffs, then nothingedit- just poured out a lot of the water out of the cup and it works beautifully again! I think it requires a lot less water in the cup than you might think...I misplaced the measuring cup that came with mine. Although if yours doesn't mist at all that's probably not the problem....edit again- it ran out of water before the cycle was done...so that doesn't seem right to me either

Yes... just try again. I've done that a couple of times but I usually didn't push the insert up into the top good enough. (I love these cups! Just order replacement parts for them because I had the soft spout for my youngest and now moving to the hard spout. My oldest uses the straw top now. Awesome!)

I have the same problem because I don't screw on the lid. The lid is hard to clean with all the plastic parts attached to it so I just pour the coffee in cup without it. Since it spills out, I pour it over the sink when I want coffee then set it down on a paper towel. POOR DESIGN!!

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top.**UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

Hi, Peyton! That is precisely why I detest the coffee maker. I talked with Kitchen Aid; they are not willing to accept return of the product; they would send me some replacement part which is supposed to remedy the overflow problem. The overflow occurred whether I brewed 2, 6, 12 or any amount. I honestly don't see how the new part will correct the issue, but I'm going to try.

Mine leaks juice around the cup no matter how tight I screw it on and it runs down into the machine when it's blending. Anyone have a solution for that?

I don't but I actually need to replace mine as well. With mine, the frother starting making odd sounds and while steam would come out of the want it would not froth the milk. I'm not sure if you have the same problem but I was able to fix mine in the interim. I determined that there was a loss in seal with the plastic gasket that goes inside the metal wand housing. I applied some duct tape to the housing and then slid the gasket on over the top, using some force to make sure it was very snug. That fixed the problem immediately and that solution has worked well for a few months now. I do plan to reach out to DeLonghi customer service however to inquire about new parts at some point.

Try running a paper clip through the hollow needle that punctures the top of the K-cup. Mine clogs about once a week.

I just want to chime in that I was having the exact same problem, and we were about to give up and get a new coffee pot. I tried the suggestions of taking a toothbrush to the outer opening and inner filter area, and problem solved!

I recommend calling Mr. Coffee directly. Maybe they have received other complaints from people having the same problem. In my experience, Mr. Coffee is a customer friendly company.

I was using this for the 3rd time in my B40 and apparently I bent the needle in the black peice of the Keurig, causing us to go through several K-cups of hot chocolate for my kids before realizing it was messed up. We bent the needle back & it'll work, but there's no doubt that it's just a matter of time before I'll need to order that peice for the Keurig. I'm hesitant to use the ecobrew again...what did you do to ensure it was fitting right?
