I bought 3 of these, the foam works well only on 1. on the other 2, the foam is not really, it more liquid. Not sure what is wrong, any suggestions?

I initially had the same problem. When I first added the soap and water, it came out as just diluted soap. I opened it back up and poured off a bit of the mixture (allowing for more air for foaming). When I tried again, it worked fine after a few pumps to get the air back into it. Not sure if this will help those who are having trouble getting it to foam, but it worked for me.

I'm afraid I can't help. Mine works fine. Maybe the soap-to-water proportions aren't correct in your two which don't foam?

Not enough water vs soap ratio. Dump some soap, add more water. Hope it helps
1603847
I have the exact same problem. It is not the soap/water ratio because the other tops work just fine with what was in the bottom. Were you ever able to find a solution to make it work again?

I did not notice that. The only problem for me was that the taller option was to tall for me! The foam itself is excellent!

I would be concerned due to the amount of foam that might go through the devise. The cost is low enough that I would try it and take a true volume measurement with a keg or two

I use Wal-Mart's "equate" brand of Antibacterial Liquid Hand Soap Refill, in my Cuisipro Foam Pump. This has worked well the past three years. However, this is my third Cuisipro Foam Pump container. With the first one bought, I misused the pump, by pouring a previously diluted mixture into the empty pump, and out came a "slimy" texture. The pump was useless after that. But that was after I had used it properly for several months. The second container's pump would not stay connected to the lid, so that was a Cuisipro problem. But I agree with an earlier review, I think any concetrated soap will work. Hope your trial is successful.

The liquid version is NO LONGER available (unless you can find it in a retail outlet). The supplier satisfactorily adjusted my order. I'm sure the foam kind is a fine product, but the method of application was not what I wanted. I have since found an alternative product. I was also assured that Amazon and their source had taken the liquid version off the marketplace.

I've never tried to use that. But looking at how it dispenses, I would doubt that the soap would foam. I think foaming soaps need an injection of air to get them to foam, don't they? This dispenser just ejects the liquid soap. Maybe someone else will have a better answer.

Both previous answers work fine, but another trick is to wet the foam, wring it out, then freeze it. Makes it just hard enough to cut cleanly.

I have this problem as well, even with it watered down for a foaming dispenser. I try to just rinse the tip of the dispenser when I wash my hands so it doesn't get that hardened clump on the end.

I have not had that problem, but perhaps you should keep the piece of foam if you are concerned

Hey Katie, I have one of these(a terrific product). If you still have it(or haven't figured out the problem) try using a very thin metal wire to clean the stem and the valve that makes it froth. I had the same problem and after reaming it out, it went back to working the way it should!

I have no idea. Mine are still fine. Actually , I did not realize they are foam.

I always use 1% milk and while it doesn't froth as great at 2% -- it foams and stays foamy all the way while I drink my coffee and I spoon some out at the end to eat! Maybe you are putting too much milk in the foamer. Fill it to the bottom line not the top one!

I have had 2 of these machines (one was a replacement for the first) and they did not foam well. It basically just made some bubbles on top of the liquid (I tried creamer and milk separately with no luck). So I would answer no to this. I think the aeroccino plus (which was my first machine) foamed really well with thick foam so I would recommend that machine.

Stopped working a looong time ago, after only a few weeks! My simple human auto dispenser still going great., I don't know about foam, tho- sorry

First, contact the manufacturer for a solution. If that doesn't work, find yourself a piece of non-flammable foam and put in the case or on the bottom. I have had mine for quite a while now and had no problems. Must note that we have very dirty electricity here.

Mine DOES foam a little, but then I also use cream that is put into the cup before brewing. Be sure it is ground "fine" and you can use any brand of your choice. At least, that's what I've done. Of course, the Pods are less messy! That's why you pay more and do the work yourself. I don't mind the small cleanup afterwards as I've always cleaned up everything in and around the coffee maker, regardless.

Just wait it might take a few hours to start making foam. Set it like the package says, and wait for the foam to build. It will take some patience to see results but it will work great.
