Brewing Instructions

Pour a certain amount of water into the water tank (3.5 oz-12.7 oz).  A helpful hint is to pour water into the container you want your coffee and then pour it into the reservoir so you have the perfect amount of water.  You could have overrun spills if you fill the reservoir too much and your container is too small.

4. Place the container or mug on the tray cover or insert a drip tray cover for smaller cups to prevent splashing.

5. Simply press the power button to begin the coffee brewing process.

Final Chulux Coffee Maker Review Impressions

The Chuluk single-cup coffee maker is a good choice if you are looking for a single serve coffee machine.  If you like using a Keurig this device is very similar but a whole lot cheaper.  Where it beats the Keurig is it supports any type of K-cup on the market and it brews a hotter cup of coffee.

This device is simple to use but does have quite a few features such as auto shutoff and single-button functionality.  One downside for some could be you can only brew one cup of coffee with the amount of water the reservoir holds.  You do have to be precise with the amount of water because this machine will keep brewing until the reservoir is empty.  A simple way to solve this problem is to fill your mug or coffee container with water up until the desired amount and then pour that water into the reservoir.

I would strongly recommend this single-serve coffee maker for those who are limited by space.  It makes for a perfect appliance for college dorm rooms, small apartments, camping trips, etc.  If you aren’t caught up by name brands and just want a device that simply works then the Chuluk single-cup coffee maker could be a good choice for you.

  1. I just bought the single cup chulux coffee maker and the pod coffee is great but the lid won’t lock with the filters I bought to go with it for my own coffee whats up

    • Hi Ernie,

      I am not an expert or support but from the research I have done check to see if you haven’t packed too much coffee into the filter. Also another thing to try is make sure the lock tab is fully aligned with the line on the top of the unit. If neither of those work I would contact after-sale customer service at email address: css@chulux.com

  2. Hi. I hope you can help me. I received. Chulux cooffee maker this past Christmas as a gift from my son (2018). He used it that same Christmas to make two cups of coffee. He left, so I cleaned it up and put it away. Now, June 17, 2019, I wanted to use it again for company, but it wouldn’t work! I plugged it, turned it on and the light would stay on for about 20 seconds and then it would turn off. My husband even tried it, and the same thing happened. I no longer have the gift receipt nor the box. I would like to have a coffee maker. Suggestions?

  4. I bought my first Chulux coffee maker from Amazon when I decided k-cups were the way to go. Many had something to say because I didn’t purchase the famous name brand. Well, my cute little Chulux has had less problems and to me, is more efficient than the well known famous ones. I just purchased my 2nd one because I didn’t want to be caught off guard as it is getting a little older now. I love my coffee maker & it sets neatly on top of pull out tray for K-cups. Thanks for this efficient economical product.

  5. in less than 1 year im on my second box of re usable single serve brewing holders. The reason is the O-ring on the holder cover either breaks or falls off. the O Ring is easily replaceable if not lost or broken.

    My question is how can I order a few O rings for the brewing cup without having to purchase a box of four new brewing serving holders.
    its a thin o ring. The size is not available at any hardware store or plumbing supply store. it is unique to this product. id really like to purchase these o rings

    Reply
  6. PS without the O ring in place on the closed cover of the brewing cup there is a leak of coffee poring out of the machine. The purpose of the o ring is to create a watertight or coffee tight seal to prevent the leaking of coffee from the brewing cup… thanks

  7. thanks for your interest in the matter of the O ring. I have approached this from every way including not packing coffee and i also make an indent to allow the small water tube built into the bottom of the cap to set into a space not occupied by coffee additionally i bought a couple of small brushes to clear out the top inner rings of the brewing cup to allow the o ring to fit into the groove around the inside top of the brewing cup It does snap shut. I do really believe that the thin o ring reacts to the hot water and in time and due to repeated heating the o ring looses its tightness and when the cap is opened the ring is captured in the groove and removes itself from the cap and falls with the expelled used coffee grinds ive captured one falling into a paper plate i used to empty the cup into rather than empty it into a garbage bin. But by the time the ring is replaced a few times it looses its ability to remain water tight. It is made of a rubber type strechable material and is very thin and gets thinner when stretched around the cup cap.

  8. Well I’ve had my machine for about 2 years but now it won’t drip water. I looked for screws to see if it would come apart maybe the valve was stuck but I don’t see any screws except for the bottom. Anybody have any idea?
