The pot lid is the only drawback I see on this coffeemaker but you can make it work. I have 2 ways. First, as you hold the handle to pour, put your thumb on top of the handle and brace it against the plastic hinge to hold the lid in place. That will keep the lid from opening so that the coffee will go to the spout. If this doesn't work, then pour with one hand while holding the lid in place with the other. That should always work. Also, you may want to pour a little more slowly. I would like to see a snap-fitting lid on this pot myself, like I had on my old B&D pot. Edit March 2015: I've recently had the same problem of spillage. I find that if I pour at an angle I have to forcefully hold the top in place to avoid the issue. However, if I pour directly perpendicularly there is no problem.

I don't know about the pouring of a cup of coffee, I only know that I hated that coffeemaker because it took so long for the coffee to drip into the pot. I don't use it at all.

I have never had this problem...pours just for for me. Wish I could help or suggest a solution.

Since that has never been a problem for me, I would have to watch how you pour the coffee. Maybe the pot is too close to the cup. It only spills when I am filling the canister and that is because I am holding the pot too close to it and am in a hurry, so just wipe up the water when done. I love this coffee pot and never want a different kind.

What exactly is leaking? If it's coffee when you pour it, you need to tighten the cover as much as you can prior to pouring

You can spill anything if you're not careful! I have not had a problem with spillage. Very happy with this coffee maker. I use it for travel... but I'm not a sloppy 'pourer'.

Place the one shot holder in, and put the espresso cup in the middle, right underneath it. It looks like it will spill over the sides of the cup, but it should be just the right size. It works for me.

I have not had this problem but I don't fill mine to the "limit". I make cups of coffee at once at the most which only requires a little water. Also I don't actually boil the water as it has been recommended that the perfect temp for a pour over is between 199 and 202 degrees. If you have a thermometer take your water temp, put the lid on at 199 and see the result.

I sent this coffee maker back..it leaks water or coffee all over..I read this in the comments and bought it anyway. They were right and I should have taken them seriously. Not having the coffee maker anymore I can't advise on the cup but I will warn u against buying it.. A word to the wise should be sufficient.

I've tried everything that a person could do without adding anything additional to the coffee maker, itself. Nothing works for me. However I did read where someone got a little rubber ring and added that above the gasket that comes down to seal the water when flowing from the coffee maker to the disposable cup. That will probably be my next attempt. It sounds like a lot of work/knowledge but when cleaning it, you'll see the little gasket and it comes off the maker very easily. An extra ring put on just above the gasket would bring it down further and that might just work. Stay tuned!

You might try using less coffee beans in the grinder. Also, try using the "1-4" feature, so that the water flows a little bit slower.

I've had the same problem. Bad design. The workaround that I've found is to close the top before putting the carafe in place. If you put the carafe in first and then close the top, it doesn't seem to work as well.

I've had that happen also. Sometimes the grind of the coffee isn't fine enough. Sometimes I don't have the filter holder screwed in tight enough. I also make sure the printed side of the filter is facing up as per the directions. Sometimes the evil morning coffee gnome is at work!!! Good luck!

It's easy to avoid the plastic touching the coffee. The above scenario depends on the amount of water and or size of contanier being used for the process. Do a simple test! Measure your desired amount of water, add the water to your vessel. Then place the dripper on top of the container. If the bottom of the dripper is wet; adjust the volume of the water lower or increase the size of your container. Btw, its a great product! I've been using mine for over two years.

I haven't had any problem with mine but if is leaking something other than coffee I would sure return it!!!!

I own one of these. I also had this problem and read a review describing this problem= the hole in the bottom is too large, allowing the water to drain through before it can "steep" The other reviewer used one of those coffee stir straws inserted along the side into the hole to take up some room and make it drain slower. Possibly a skinny tip bamboo chopstick inserted would work, if you don't want to run all your coffee over a soft plastic straw.

Agreed. It is a bit smaller than your cup. If you really like the collapsible design the Cuissential, then you might consider cutting out a piece of plastic, metal or hard rubber to hold this above your cup. All it needs is a hole for the coffee to run through into the cup. The holes the coffee drips through are about 1 -1/2 inch apart. The lid of a paint bucket or coffee can might work.

I've found a water under my Keurig only if haven't filled reservoir carefully. As I have dexterity issues that make it difficult to remount the reservoir, I fill it up with a large cup rather than bringing reservoir to sink. If/when water splashes over, it puddles under the machine.

Sorry can't help with this one. I only used it once and it left coffee grounds all over the place so I just trashed them.
