Is the carafe "drip free"? I.e, after pouring a cup of coffee, what is the risk of dripping coffee on the table cloth before you pour the next cup?

I have had this for about a year now. Works as good as it did on day one. If you try to "over pour" too fast than yes, mine will dribble a bit. (Stop laughing) I love how hot the plate keeps the coffee and the "Bold" brew option. The ONLY down side I have is that there is a lip that runs around the top of the pot to keep it from dripping. The lip also does not allow you to pour ALL of the coffee out. It leaves about a teaspoon or less in the pot. No big deal to me.

It is indeed drip free. Along with how hot it brews the coffee, that's the reason I bought it. You won't be disappointed!

It seems to be drip-free, or almost so, have not had any major issues with this.

I have not had any dripping with the carafe- none at all! I am very happy with this coffee maker and I think you will be also.

I have not had a problem with dripping, I primarily pour into a thermos on the countertop and that is drip free. For the price point, I was surprised how good the coffee is, but I do use filtered water from the fridge door. Hope this helps, Jim.

It has a lip that seems to prevent it from dripping. Have not noticed a problem.

I don't know. We empty the coffee carafe into another carafe we use at the table.

Sadly, no--which is why it is inferior to the original. Again, EVERY cup you pour will drip coffee down the outside of the spout and down the front of the carafe, eventually finding its way to the base. If you do not wipe the carafe every time you pour a cup, you will leave a coffee ring on wherever you leave the carafe.

No, the coffee drips from the glass. The plastic is away from the drip zone although I can see why you might wonder from the picture.

Coffee drips into caraff. Pour from caraff. You have to align lid on caraff with marks to pour properly

We thought it was in the mechanism that allows it to drip into the carafe at the bottom of the coffee ground section. Of course since it was more than 30 days when this happened and we could NOT return it, we sent the whole thing back to Capresso where we ordered the old standard one that we had had for 14 years without the carafe. Much happier.

Yes. Bought the coffee maker, followed all directions and successfully brewed our first pot. The first and only cup of coffee tasted fine, but before I could drink the second, the half full carafe imploded, leaving me with a pot of silvery coffee shards. I do not recommend buying this. It is not safe.

This coffee maker is different. A filter is on coffee pot not on the brewing unit (Very smart design indeed). No dripping you should worry.

No mention was made as to how old your unit is. A thermal carafe is only as good as the vacuum seal surrounding the carafe. Have you run your carafe through a dishwasher? If so, you may have liquid in areas where there should be only air or vacuum. The thermal break is gone, coffee does not stay hot. Another consideration, is the brew temp where it should be in the first place? Fouled heating elememts do not heat the water to the same high temp as clean heating elements will. Clean the elements by brewing a pot of white vinegar. It is amazing how much color (crud) the vinegar will pick up. After the vinegar, run at least two or three pots of clean water. I sometimes will run do the vinegar treatment twice. These are only guesses and not answers, but your question could be answered in so many ways. I wish i could help more.

As far as I can see, the portion of the carafe that comes in contact with the coffee is all glass. There is a metal band around the outside bottom of the pot but it has no real bearing on the pouring of the coffee. I have always had good tasting coffee from this pot - but then the coffee you get out of it is only as good as the grinds you put in!

No it does not drip at all. Most coffee pots drip but this has a good design.

If by "non spill" you mean that you can take the pot out to pour a cup of coffee before the coffee maker is finished brewing, and the coffee will stop coming out of the coffee maker, then yes, it is non spill.Otherwise its just as capable of spilling coffee as any other pot, when you pour. I'm very good at that part.

There is no water that is heated after the coffee is made. The carafe is insulated so it is designed to keep the coffee warm without heating after the coffee is made.

I always make sure when it is done brewing - I take the basket off and put the lid on quickly to keep it as hot as possible. Also - try just brewing water through the basket - no coffee grounds and take the temperature in the carafe to see if it the desired temperature Bonavita advertises. If not, call the company. Since switching to the carafe after years of using a glass carafe.....I can never go back to glass. Hope this helps. Happy coffee making !

There are some plastic parts, although as far as I can tell they're all on the outside i.e. with the exception of the stopper, and the pouring spout, they're on the skin of the carafe. The coffee sits in a glass inner container and doesn't tough any plastic until it's poured. I don't know whether the plastic components are BPA-free, although since the coffee isn't in constant contact with any plastic as far as I can tell, I don't think that's much of a concern.

No-we've had no issues with this carafe/brewer at all! Finally a great coffee maker :)

Sorry, I bought a spare carafe some years ago after I broke the original washing it. So far so good on the one I received when I purchased another coffee maker. Good luck in finding one.
