Is it push to pour or is it push to stop pouring? In other words, do I have to hold the button down to keep the spout open?

For me it was both. Push to open and then push back to close. Funnel leaked like crazy, finally had to keep my thumb inside the funnel to press the seal firmly closed and even then it didn't close completely.

It is to "control the flow" of the candy so you will have to "push" to open the flow as needed.

You hold the button down for as long as you need it. That way you can fill a mug or a teapot or whatever.

take the lid off before draining for safety.....the pour spout is there so the contents don't splash. the lid is not intended to stay on when pouring.

Yes, easiest way is to keep the spout's whistle cap raised. The lever keeps the whistle raised until the lever is pushed up, which lowers the spout's cap.

Yes you can push a button to hold the sprayer down for a constant steam flow You do have to hold the button down with your thumb for intermittent spraying.

You do have to hold the button down for the water stream to continue but it's not hard to push. Much easier than the squeeze bidets!

Once the lid is on, it is easy to push the button to take a sip or close it back up again. It takes more strength to make sure that the lid is screwed on tightly, so that the mug doesn't leak.

Slightly unscrew the lid and pour through the spout. Tighten the lid when you are finished (to keep the coffee warm).If you loosen the top the coffee doesn't spill. It may seem to be work to loosen the top each time you pour, but that ensures a tight fit and keeps the coffee hot much longer.

There is no ''hold open lock'. You must hold down on the button to pour; the Korean made version we had previously did have that feature, however.

Once you locate the slot in the lower portion of the handle with the little button inside all you have to do is push down. Just remember the button/ handle position and the sink Very easy to operate.

I don't seem to have that problem, however I do press up and hold the spout...maybe that is why..example one hand holds the silver cup that holds the liquor and with the other hand I press up with my shot glass...

the lever opens and closes the spout. you do not have to hold it open to drink. it seems very secure.

There is no valve, at least not in the sense of something you turn to allow for coffee to pour through it. When you place the device onto the top of a coffee cup there is a "valve" that is activated by the mass of the device and allows coffee to pour through. When it's just sitting on your counter or on the little plate that comes with it, this valve is not activated, and so coffee does NOT pour through. Point being it's a binary switch, it's off or it's on. There is no "adjusting" it. I haven't used it A LOT, but it seems pretty sturdy, I haven't had any issues with it leaking anyway.

When I put the cover/lid on the pot I make sure it clicks. I put the lid starting at the back and the press down on the front, facing the spout. The little hole is also facing the spout.

You shouldn't have to take the lid off to pour the coffee. Push down the little lever and it "rocks" open enough to pour. The lid may seem wobbly because of this functionality. I wouldn't try tipping the pot upside down if it had liquid in it because I'm sure it would come out.

What looks like a spout is actually the button that is pushed down to grind the beans (hold button down 10 seconds for stronger coffee and less for milder coffee). The round dome lifts off and you pick up the base (same as most other grinders) and pour the coffee grinds out -- a good coffee brush helps with this. This is our 4th coffee grinder in the past 25 years and I like it the best. I have had different brands and they all perform basically the same way, even burr coffee grinders.
