One review said the water spilled easily when filling, but I cannot even see from the photo where you add water. Do you take the top off?

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.

Yes, it does come off for filling. You can also (carefully) pour water in to the reservoir while it's still attached to the coffee maker.

Most likely you are overfilling the water container. Fill it up to 1/2 inch from the top.

i just did it before responding to you - I just pulled the filter from the top from the top of the lid. It came out very easily.

The top"lid" doesn't come off, so no access from there...it has no point really. When you remove the reservoir the bottom unscrews for filling. I use a bottle brush/long handle scrubber with hot water and a DROP of dish soap. Hard to get all the soap out otherwise, especially without using a TON of water. Hope this helped :-)

The top is removable, but used properly, there should be no overflow, there is a fill line for the water level

I have never had any problem overfilling it. I just pour out some of the extra water.

I that happened to me.. basically you over filled it and the pressure pushed the top tank up.... fill up to the top of filter, or just below. It's good to go

No. It's a twist off top. I've never had one spill or leak, but I can see how it's be possible.

Amy, I was just like you. Pick the water reservoir up and don't try to unscrew or pull off the black top. Turn the water container upside down and screw off the cap on the bottom. It's not a very big opening so I pour the distilled water in over the sink. I hope this helps.

You remove it from the unit and turn it upside down. Then you remove the cap (which I find is not always easy, on the other hand I've never had a leaking problem). Fill it with tap water and replace and tighten the cap. Then replace the tank on the unit, it will not spill or leak when you turn it right side up. It's very simple and the instructions included for filling and cleaning are very clear. We used this unit in a 10x13 room all last winter on the low setting and it was excellent.

no problem , quite easy. just unscrew the top , take off the top and after filling screw it back.

If it leaks, you have over filled it. Read the directions. Also, taking the rubber seal out, rinsing it, and fitting it back in will help as well. There is a max fill line. No liquids over the line. Its a great machine. I flipping love mine.

Did you drop it or anything of the sort? It is a wide mouth open bottle top so there should be no issues drinking out of the top.

I just take off the lid to drink. And I think that the cap on the top should not be opened, maybe it's a gear for heat insulation.

I have never had an issue with removing the top. I like it because it is so easily removable and it doesn't leak.
