I know it sounds strange but is there a way to make it "leak" when tipping it over? I want to use it as a pour spout if possible

I cant make it leak. The auto spout I have not been able to make leak but the Contigo Addison leaks. If you flip the Addison upside down it will spill out whatever is in the straw. Then the leak stops.

Haha! I think it's impossible. My boy can't even suck on it just into 2 weeks of using it. Somewhere has a hole or tear, I hv thrown it away and will never buy this bottle again.

My wife packs this carafe in her Tote daily. She fills it with hot filtered (ProPur) water to have at work.The carafe does not leak if tipped over as long as the cap 'push button' is not depressed. So, depending on how the carafe is packed, there is risk of spillage if the 'push button' is pressed down.

You have to tip it. My biggest complaint of this mug is that it leaks severely when it falls over.

Is it leaking the 'air' at the point where the aluminum bottom threads into the black top? If so, I would (which you may have already tried) try to make sure that the inner "straw/stem" piece is seated/centered properly and the top is as snug (without breaking it, obviously) as you can get it. I've had the situation - where mine also leaked as it was pressurized and I had to take the top back off and re-seat the stem piece. Now that I'm more careful to make sure it's seated right, I haven't had any more trouble (and I use it all the time). Also, make sure there is no debris that may be keeping the seal from seating properly. Hope this helps. Good luck.

You can shake it but hold the lid... mine leaks very little when I shake it..

Not from the bottom but it does leak from the top spout. Sounds like yours is defective. They will ship you a new one if you return it but you have to pay postage to send it to them, if you want to do that. Go on their website and fill out the return form and they will email you a return authorization and the address to ship it to.

It should not leak. Mine does not. But it is, in my opinion, not a great idea to keep it pressurized all the time. Maybe a small valve at the handle would help.

I had the same problem and I don't know if it was a coincidence or not but after I gave it a good cleaning it stopped. Now maybe you can tell me how to stop it from leaking? It constantly drips and if I don't forget to watch it I end up with water all over my counter.

Yes I have the sme one after I use it I do lay it on it's side. No dripping or spilling at all. I hope I helped you out. Have a Great Day:)

Not to sound like captain obvious or anything but perhaps you are putting in to much water? I would play with the levels a bit. I fill it to just below the line and mine come out great every time. It takes some experimenting but is worth it once you get it down. Good luck

Nope. I've owned three, zero leaks. Could it be overfilled? If you can verify the leak (maybe from a line?) I'd send it back. Good luck!

Hello, Christian!!! I absolutely love this product! To be honest, I haven't made anything with so much liquid that would make it leak, so it would be hard for me to anser. I have crushed up wafter, added butter and formed that into the pan, and nope, no leak! I love how sleek this item is, and the actual feel of it. I hope this helps!

I'm pretty sure you need to provide suction. They should not leak from the spout when tipped.

Unfortunately, on mine, with the lid on, mine does leak when it is tilted on its side. They need more of a silicon plug at the end of the cap

I have the same problem. I just wrote to Homedics to ask them where I can get it. I couldn't find it on their website even though they have a section for parts. In the meantime I've been using it anyway. I don't fill the water tank too much and just quickly put it into place. It seems to work okay this way but you have to be doubly careful to not let it tip over. Hope that helps. Patricia

Yes! If the black pour spout is screwd in securely it is very leak proof. If the pour spout is not screwed in, just the cup/cap will dribble. Someone else somewhere said to not screw the pour spout too tightly or else it will leak...I have never had this issue. It is very easy to feel the correct point of resistance, and I think it would be quite difficult to screw it too tight.

It leaks when the pot is turned over.A possible solution is, to make the upper part slighter large than the lower one so that as the pot being turned over the smaller one is to be on the top,hence the oil, etc., simply flows to the larger lower part.
