With its small footprint, it can fit in the smallest of kitchens, even in a kitchen-in-a-box in the back of your pickup truck.\u00a0 But don\u2019t let the small size throw you \u2013 this is an amazing machine.<\/p>\n<p>It takes only four minutes to pre-heat and then cranks out perfectly done waffles \u2013 two every three minutes.\u00a0 The waffles come out with the distinctive deer head logo and taste delicious.\u00a0 Even better, there is absolutely no stick to the waffle plates.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have to see it to truly believe it, but there is just nothing stuck to the cooking plates at all when you remove your waffles. This is actually the first non-stick surface that I\u2019ve ever seen that truly lives up to its name.<\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_slider et_pb_slider_fullwidth_off et_pb_gallery_post_type\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/ChefsChoice-0038.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/ChefsChoice-0039.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/ChefsChoice-0040.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/ChefsChoice-0041.jpg);\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>When you\u2019re done, let the unit cool, then wind the cord around the feet of the unit.\u00a0 It stores upright to save space.

I\u2019ve always been sold on the drip-proofness of Contigo\u2019s mugs; but now they\u2019ve even made them easier to clean.\u00a0 With this newest innovation, the lid interior pivots open making it even easier to get the inside sparkling clean.\u00a0 The top is dishwasher safe, so pivot it open and drop it in the top rack of your dishwasher.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Contigo-West-Loop.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-9761\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Contigo-West-Loop-600x404.png?resize=600%2C404\" alt=\"Contigo West Loop\" width=\"600\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Contigo-West-Loop.png?resize=600%2C404&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Contigo-West-Loop.png?resize=150%2C101&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Contigo-West-Loop.png?resize=300%2C202&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Contigo-West-Loop.png?resize=140%2C94&amp;ssl=1 140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Contigo-West-Loop.png?w=837&amp;ssl=1 837w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The new model comes in three colors:\u00a0 stainless steel, purple and black.

Flip the button on top and then you can drink normally, but with the button locked on top, nothing can come out.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>iFillCup<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019re on the road, you still want your favorite K-cup, but if you\u2019re like me, you like to fill your own from ground coffee.\u00a0 Now you can have it both ways, a disposable K-cup alternative that you fill yourself.\u00a0 The <a href=\"http:\/\/ifillcup.com\/\">iFillCup<\/a> from ChefConcepts is just the answer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/iFillCup.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9765\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/iFillCup.png?resize=437%2C588\" alt=\"iFillCup\" width=\"437\" height=\"588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/iFillCup.png?w=437&amp;ssl=1 437w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/iFillCup.png?resize=111%2C150&amp;ssl=1 111w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/iFillCup.png?resize=222%2C300&amp;ssl=1 222w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 437px) 100vw, 437px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The hinged top opens to let you scoop in the right amount of your favorite ground coffee.
