The tag says not to connect a three-prong plug to a two-hole cord. My coffee maker has two prongs. Can I still use these?

I believe the tag is saying you must plug the Ziotek cord into a wall receptacle that has a ground prong in order for the socket on the end to have a ground. You can plug your coffee pot to the Ziotek cord as long as it doesn't exceed the 1625 watt rating.

Yes, with your coffee maker and this cord you will be using a *2-prong plug* in a *3-hole cord*, which is totally fine. It's unsafe to do it the other way around

It's really your call. I don't recommend it as you'll have an empty spot that isn't filled by a plug. it's rare that that will cause issues but the risk is always there.

Yes, the 3rd rounded plug is the ground, but I would assume your using the coffee maker in the kitchen which would be on a ground fault circuit anyway.

The prongs are 1" horizontally plus 3" vertically. It works nicely for mugs/coffee cups.

Hi Zan,Hi Zan, I replaced two receptacles on my burr coffee grinder, as of recently it seems that it has gotten hard to find the replacements so I'll tell you what I did I'm a outside the box thinker. I had a small pottery bowl that fit perfectly under the grinding mechanism and it is wide at the top so that the coffee doesn't fly out and that's what I've been using for the past nine months. Good Luck ;-)

You can plug in a two prong plug easily, but a three prong plug may be a no go.

Yes, as long as the coffee pot base plug prong are the same distance as between the cord plug prongs distance.

No, it is two prong (two cylindrical holes for the female end, don't know how best to describe it). I have an electrical wok at home that uses the three prong you are talking about. This is not it.

Sorry I don't know. I bought this cord for a Grants Deluxe 12 cup Percolator which I had for over 40 years and it works great.

The lamp has 2 prongs. It's totally OK to plug it into a 3 prong strip. If an electrical appliance is all plastic on the outside, you don't get a third prong. You don't need it. You get everything you need with just 2-prongs, even if you plug into a 3-prong strip. Not to worry.The folks that let you tie into great big power sources do try to keep you out of trouble. If you can plug something in, without cheating, it's ok, go for it.

No, these things are worthless. You have to buy an adapter to make any 3-prong plug work.

Mate; not sure what a UK socket is(should have paid more attention that one time in London...), so I'll go about it by saying the plug has 3 prongs: two flat blades and a third round one. The coffee machine works well and quickly.

You were definitely not sent the proper cord. Round prongs are for international current. You should have the normal 3 prong plug, of which 2 are flat and the grounding one is round.m

I looked at a picture of that coffee pot and it looks like it is a 2 prong pot so I'm going to say, not 100% sure, it should work. Maybe you could email the seller? Good luck.

I don't know. I ordered these for my coffee maker but they were the wrong ones, so I sent them back.

They may have a 220V version, but mine is setup with a 110V USA style line plug. Since 110V is less than 220V a simple 220-110V adapter, designed for your particular country, should be quite adequate to power the coffee maker. You can find these on ebay for $3-4 US.

On the back side there is one 3-prong plug, so it would not fit into a 2-prong (non-grounded) outlet.

The only reason for a 3-prong plug is safety for appliances witha metallic cover - the 2-prong plug will plug into your 3-prong socket with no trouble at all. That includes any kind of extension cord.

on mine I use different coffee/ fairly fine grind. the cord I got with the machine was the USA plug outlets. I use it in australia as well wiht different cord. I found that the same cord that is on my computer power sorce works it is the three prong one. the machine I have is 240/110 compatable. I like it but for me it does not make a big enough cup, I need to make two little pots for my cup of coffee.
