GhirardelliSauce Pump 0.5 oz for use with 87.3 to 90.4 fluid ounce sauce bottles

I had a caramel apple bar for Thanksgiving and bought this to use with the large container of caramel sauce. This was definitely the way to go. The mess was nonexistent, children and elderly both could easily use the pump, and clean up was a breeze. It is sturdy and I plan to use it again and again.

This pump works great with the Ghirardelli sauces! We have the caramel sauce. I read the other reviews but decided to purchase anyway, rather than try to find another pump. I am glad I did. I got the sauce (90oz) directly from Ghirardelli. This pump does not go all the way to the bottom, but I believe this is meant for the 64oz containers. Some reviews mentioned about the pump curving at the bottom. The one I got does not. It is a straight, solid pump. It comes apart for cleaning. I usually just run the Keurig with hot water and pump the hot water through it to clean out the syrup. The the rest of the cleaning is easy. When not in use, I usually just put saran wrap around the tip to keep the pump from drying up. I have not had any issues. I have used it quite frequently for the last 6 months. Last weekend, we used it at a festival and went through 2 1/2 containers (90oz) using the one pump. So it has handled heavy, repeated use. I ordered another one just as a backup...to make it easier to switch to new jug without the delay.

I love the mocha sauce, but the pump stopped working a month and a half after using it. There is still half a thing of mocha left and I can’t get anything through the pump. It’s sad for how expensive it is.

Thanks to the rubber ball or gasket in the end of the pump I have never actually had to clean the tip or had a drip waiting for me. This is also nice because I only take 1 pump every Sunday (or maybe 2 if I need and extra boost) and have never came back to either find a plug of old chocolate sauce in the tip or a mess under it. Hands down the best friend my coffee machine has ever had.

After I received it, it wasn’t pumping the syrup or even water. After quite a lot of troubleshooting, I figured out if I flipped it upside down and put water in the tube, then pumped, liquid started flowing through it. Now it works just fine. I think it was possibly an air pocket or a misaligned valve.

I bought a gallon of Carmel from the Costco business center and added this pump now I’m 20 pounds heavier eating Carmel with everything because it’s so easy to use. I’d keep this at the back of the counter if you have kids because it doesn’t take much effort to push the pump down. This pump also doesn’t dribble which is great since there’s no cleanup needed.

Works well just that when it gets to the end of bottle it won’t do a full pump. Even though there’s are about 2” of syrup left in the bottle. It will leak sauce a little as well.

It pumps well, but I do wish a slight bit more came out per pump, allowing me not to press as hard. Ours stays out on the counter, and sometimes I wish it were smaller, but for commercial use it’s perfect! Cleaning is easy, soaking it in soapy water loosens up the stickiness a bit more.
