Having trouble using e.s.e. pods on this machine! Help! What am I doing wrong?

I have actually had success with Starbucks pods (using the single shot filter basket), but now I've been reading various places that the machine doesn't work with very many kinds of pods, and it is definitely not e.s.e. certified. I haven't tried any pods other than starbucks, but I don't think pods are the way to go with this machine. I would be curious if there was a pod adapter filter basket that you could purchase to make it work better with pods. Anyone know of such an attachment or where to purchase it?

No Keurig pods will not work with this machine. Only the Nespresso pods will work with the machine. I haven't found any other off brand pods that work with this machine.

Call Cuisinart directly. I thought I needed a holder and all I needed were the little pods that go INSIDE THE HOLDER

I have contacted Morphy Richards (the manufacturer in the U.K. that offers a clone model called the Roma Pump Espresso Cappuccino Maker, model 47505) about purchasing an e.s.e. pod adaptor. The company website states that I should hear back from customer service within 10 business days. I will report back when I hear from them.

You have to push the brew button to start and stop the machine and open the to lever to expel the used pod, as opposed to the Nespresso U, which does this automatically. t

I don't think you can. I looked up your machine, and it looks like it takes pods that are specifically for that machine. These Lucaffe pods are called ESE pods (don't know what that stands for). So, I'd say don't get them. Good luck!!

I was having this issue too. I thought I had a defective piece and was about to send it back, but thought I'd call the company first. I got through to a rep almost immediately and she made me do the same thing I was doing before but somehow it worked. To summarize: 1. Push the green cartridge away from the top, towards the cup. 2. Hold the bottom part on the floor, line the top with the bottom and push the top part in really, really hard. If you are able to pull them apart with your hands, then it's not hard enough. I really had to use my full body weight to push it in. 3. Slide the green cartridge into the joint and you are good to go. The rep told me that normally you don't need to use that much force, but with some of the pieces, the assembly is not perfect and needs a lot of force. Hope that helps.

I see no way to make pods without a pod maker which has a very hot "flange" to match the flange on the filters. The manufacturer or original distributor stamped on the back of mine is "Arm Enterprises, Inc." Maybe they could help. The name on the tag is "Coffee Pod Maker", "Perfect Pod Maker", Model EP2122, Date Code 5111. I'll swap you my pod maker for a new Keurig coffee maker. :)

Pods only...also, you can't buy empty pods and fill them yourself. That's why I returned the system.

Mr. Imagine did not help you...GeeThe only way to use an I pod is to get an adapter. Get a long double ended 3mm cord that goes from your 3mm earphone hole on the POD then patch it into tje female 3mm end of a Y splitter to RCA and then go through a vacant input. - imagine that.

You got it, TanyaP! As long as you have everything else ready to go, just pop that basket in the SoloFill slot hit the start button (please, please make sure you have the grind and run time settings set up on the machine!!!...read my first review...), grid away, drop it in your brew basket...if required...or just close the lid on your basket adapter, then drop into your keurig and brew away! Yay!!!

Thanks for the info, I'll give that brand a try next. Do report back how the pod maker goes, I read online about people just saying to use a standard filter and then trim the top and fold it over and wet it, I tried but in order to get a tight enough fold I couldn't use enough grounds to get a decent cup, and using enough grounds meant it wouldn't fit in the chamber right.

I had the same problem and was told by Keurig customer service to run a mixture of vinegar and water through the machine. That solved the problem. I can't recall the mix but Keurig should be able to assist

Make sure you have added the right amount of water and that the small knob to the left of the K-cup holder is turned to the K-cup symbol. Also the holder of the K-cup pod must be fully inserted and the lever pushed down. If this doesn't work, it may be time to return it.

I must be doing something wrong! Just got this for my 6th generation nano and I can't get any of the 3 inserts to fit in the docking station. Maybe I don't know how to connect them????

Doesn't matter which side is up or down. Pods will almost always stick to machine because of the pressure and the steam. There is a tab on the pod. Use that to pull the pod out. If you like the Lucaffe, try Cafe Borbone. You can get that on Amazon also.Don
