Hoping to use for Large Quantity of Sangria for wedding. Would anyone recommend this for something like that? As far as ease of filling and pouring

It has a nice large opening on top, I use a large slotted spoon to fish out my tea bags. The spout seals well without dripping. It should work fine. My only advice is to be careful not to smack it with anything as I have cracked two of these when I hit the corners while moving them.

Filling and pouring OK buy only supposed to use for water. Sangria may cause plastic to leach. Don't know for sure.

As far as I'm concerned, this would work great for a party. In fact, you should think about buying more than one. And its great for holding hot liquids.

Hi- I just had this fountain at a two-day Bridal and Wedding Show and had it going continuously for 6 - 7 hours each day. It worked great! I just microwaved the chocolate/oil mixture in the crock part of the crock pot, and transported it to the Show that way. I was able to take it home after the first day and just throw it in the dishwasher. I used less than 10lbs of chocolate between the two days, and never ran out. It was quite a draw - especially for the little girls who were modeling Wedding attire. They loved poking little marshmallows with toothpicks and getting them all drippy with the chocolate. Awesome!

yes, once you have it liquified it is very pourable. I had a putty knife taped to a pole so I could smooth it out while still hot.

Yes,unless you're entertaining huge get togethers. As a matter of fact, it's actually a bit big for most average recipes,e.g. 4-6 servings. Take care,Jeff.

I have used it for both drinks. And have not experience any problem. With the sangria the fruit doesn't go thru.

It was pretty simple to fill. I just poured the peppercorns in, didn't spill too many. I imagine a small funnel would work if the size was big enough to accommodate the peppercorns.

I cook pasta for me and my son, with some leftovers. I think it would be okay with smaller amounts of water and pasta, I say go for it. I love the easy drain design, use it for browning ground beef and pouring the grease off as well as for pasta.

Cafe Bustello is fine.. if you use 2 scoops (measures) I find it strong and stands up well to frothing or straight with all that crema on top. When loading teh filter/coffee basket tamp it down well.

I haven't tried any of that, but I did look through the book, nothing was mentioned. When you use the fruit you need to let it set out for 12 min. to get to the right consistency, so I don't think a liquid would work. They do use liquids to pour over it after its finished, like rum. I hope this helps, its really a great item.

It could probably do it, you'll just need to be patient. You'd pour in a few ounces, wait for it to slowly drain, pour in a couple more, give it a gentle stir, wait another minute, pour in a couple more, etc. It would take a few minutes to baby it along but could be done.

I wouldn't advise using carbonated drinks, they don't flow too well. As for sherbert, the nozzles that pour the drink out are very small so I think it would get clogged very easy. I made a rum runner in mine, and it worked great. Make sure the nozzles are adjusted correctly or it will spurt, but I had no problem with mine once I set it up in the correct manner.

I wouldn't recommend it. Any liquid that's thicker than syrup, for example, would probably pour very slowly or not at all, especially with small bits of garlic.

Yes, you have to be very careful in pouring I have had it work just fine and other times (when I am in a hurry) it can get messy. Sorry!

Yes....We bought this specifically for my wife's Starbucks addiction (Carmel Macchiato) and it's impressive....One touch for Espresso, Americhano, Coffee, Cappucino....Very easy to maintain and the bean grinder works perfect....It took a good 50 tries to get the perfect blend but my wife wanted the exact taste from Starbucks....You won't be disappointed with guests as everyone loves using ours when they come over....I'm looking into getting another one for our office....If you get one feel free to call me so I can walk you through setup as it will save you a lot of time around the holidays

It is very easy to fill, and does not drip excessively, which is to say, if it is filled to the top and you make pancakes for example, when you are done it will have dripped approximately a tablespoon. I have a little plate sitting next to the stove that I place it on between uses as a place for the drip. I have had mine now for several months, use it at least weekly, and have wondered why I didn't get one of these years ago. The convenience and ease of use more than make up for a few very minor drips.

I used it for blending soup and marinara sauce before I got an immersion blender. An immersion blender is much better for that - I can control the level of smoothness and it's less cleanup. I think the blender is best for drinks.
