For dispensing, I assume you first have to hit the unlock button before pressing the plastic lever with your cup??

This is a safety factor - You must press the "unlock" button before pressing the lever to release the flow of water.

You have to press the dispense button until your cup is filled. My button broke off after just a couple of months and I threw it out. I was very disappointed in the quality of this appliance. I owned a previous model for over twenty-five years and loved it. This model is junk. I moved on to an electric kettle.

No you must hold the button down, but it's so powerful that it froths immediately. It's the best and most powerful frother I've ever owned. I highly recommend.

Manual pump. It usually requires one, two or three presses to fill a cup - depending on cup size and how fast you want it filled.

I have purchased and using five of theses dispensers at various locations at our recreational property and at my home shop. I chose to use the button provided in all of them without any need to use the lock (and key). I guess that doesn't answer your question, however it does give my opinion that I they work great without being locked.

They're right. I find pushing the button on the side of the lid, then flip down the metal clip like device, flip up the top and you are ready to go. Now the thing on the bottom is a pain and fairly useless but I guess they had to go that extra step. I like it a lot, Don't get me wrong. The sleek design makes it less conspicuous and fits in cup holders pretty good. Let us know how it turns out. Peace...

There is a large button at the top, I don't know about other model, however this one is manual pumping where you press, release and then press, release until you get the amount you need. For a 12 fl.oz. cup, it's usually 3 or 4 pumps.

Yes you must make sure the lock is off, then, turn the lid using the lid's plastic handles.

No, the simple cup is placed inside the plastic adapter. Just make sure you leave enough of the simple filter to fasten it between the adapter bottom and the adapter top then turn top clockwise until it stops. Enjoy.

To open the top, you have to press the button. The bottom has a stopper on each side so you can lock it. This allows you to have it only open one way instead of both, if you want.

Amy: with the unit properly filled with coffee, place the unit on top of an empty cup/mug, pour your hot water into the vessel, place the plunger into it, and GENTLY push it down to force the water thru the coffee and into the cup/mug. NOTE: the plunger does NOT have to contact the water in order for it to begin pushing the water thru the coffee. The air between the plunger and the water will compress as you push down and will force the water downward. Once or twice doing this and you will become expert. Enjoy!

I'm trying to remember. I think you have to remove the plastic ring between the pump and the cap. Sometimes there's a little arrow and you have to turn in that direction to unlock the pump. Truthfully, my pump wasn't working at first. I turned it in the direction the arrow pointed many times and it still wouldn't pump. I gave it a good whack on the counter and then the pump finally worked and has worked ever since

HI, you will need to pump it or hold the button down. I pump mine a few times to fill the cup faster. It will fill with 1 pump , buts gets a little slow. Hope this helps. Rita

1. push "up" on the button as hard as you can. I generally use a tool to push it as far as I can. 2. While pushing up, squeeze the sides of the dispenser at the top and pull toward you. Hope that helps.

You have to press the button and lock it. It does not have the automatic locking feature.

Very simple. Put unit on bottle and push down until firmly seated and sealed. Hold the bottom by the collar and twist the top to unlock the unit. Pump several times. May do this 3 - 5 times. When you feel resistance you are good. Twist the top to lock and you are done.

No, you have to press manually. Which I like as it allows me to grind exactly the way I want.
