can the dust particles go inside the spout since the spout has no cover?

It could happen, but in practice it's not a problem. Our kids have dropped theirs in the dirt, then we've just quickly washed it off with no dirt getting in the spout or into the bottle.

We wash it after each use. It has never been a problem or concern with daily use but I suppose it happens.

Yes. Mine came slightly dusty inside. Not a big problem since I had planned on washing them out anyway. Any water container you buy should be cleaned prior to use.

Yes, the spout isn't protected like other cups, but I've never had an issue with them and my son (who has been using them for about six months) has never gotten sick from it touching the ground, floor, etc. He's also pretty good about putting it up on the table when not drinking from it, so that helps!

No, What i do is stuff a rag or disposable shop towel in the spout so it absorbs the excess and keeps it from dripping. I have had no problems.

Absolutely not! It is a good idea to take the cover off one a year or so and blow the dust off but by removing the cover you inhibit the airflow over the cpu and mobo making the cooling fans useless. The case is what generates the wind flow. Keep it clean and covered and you will have no problems

Yes! It seems to be a design flaw. The cap over the spout covers the opening, but it doesn't seal it shut.

No, no cover. But it doesn't spill out unless you fill it too much, remember it's a small grinder.

No! Any dirty lead will clog the spout. I hold a Wheel wieght over the pot with pliers and melt the lead off the steel clip. Some new wieghts are not lead.

Yes, at the base of the spout there is a small vent hole just big enough to do the job. Otherwise when the can is closed up, it is airtight; probably should avoid overfilling on a warm day for this reason.

Quite possible, but not really designed for that. Any residue left in spout after use would probably harden &. Be difficult to clean

NO. But water assists in cooling and lubricating. It also keeps dust to a minimum.

I think the ventilation holes are there to allow the heat to flow out. Since its underneath, I don't see how dust will build up too often.

There is an exhaust port. And the air that comes out is hot. But I don't believe dust or debris can escape, since it has a filter there. I've never noticed any dust or debris coming from there.

Not unless you have a way to catch the rain and funnel it into the barrel. The top opening is not large enough to catch/funnel rain into the barrel on its own.

It does not completely cover the spout but what is uncovered is a very small gap that is certainly not a problem.I'm glad I ordered the cover--just used the Lodge 10 in. cast iron skillet with the lid today. Works great!

Yes, just make sure it is mixed up well. If you leave lumps of cocoa, they may clog the spout.

no and why would you want it to stay open . if the water is hot the steam escapes from the spoutand could cause a burn. i love mine it cleanes nice and has a strong whistle to it.
