Does anyone else have the problem of liquid spurting out of the spout when you are blending? I have tried putting the lid on various ways but no luck

I turn the lid so that there's nowhere for liquid to come out of. Make sure the opening isn't at the spout and it should work.

I have 2 of those and they worked OK. Be careful not to over load it tho...

I threw the top away and just use a dinner plate. This works perfectly fine.

I had this happen 1st two times I used it, too! Don't give up, yet. I used a very thin blade knife edge, gently running the tip along the edge of the 'v' in the front of the part where the lid meets the base. You have to sort of jiggle-pull as you pry up with the edge. Be careful and patient. Then, once you get the top off (continue working edge of knife--or file, or sturdy strip of thin plastic), set it to the side. Prep your edge of base before next use. I learnedd this by trial and error; loved the diffuser, and didn't want to send it back, so here is what worked for me: Applied a couple of drops of lemon essential oil (doterra) to a cotton ball, and rubbed this vigorously all over the edges of the base and top of diffuser...where the two pieces meet. It cleans it, and it seems to prevent that suction. I also only use distilled or filtered water. Hope this helps.

OMG! Me too! I can NOT get the spout to line up between the handles. It always ends up over the handle no matter where I start to spin the top on. I have had some cups that need to start in a certain spot in order to end up in the middle. But this one will only be between the handles if I don't twist it tight. And when I do that, it LEAKS. I do have the handle in the proper position between the little slots too. Grrrrrrrrr!!!!! I think these are going back to the store.

Hi, Peyton! That is precisely why I detest the coffee maker. I talked with Kitchen Aid; they are not willing to accept return of the product; they would send me some replacement part which is supposed to remedy the overflow problem. The overflow occurred whether I brewed 2, 6, 12 or any amount. I honestly don't see how the new part will correct the issue, but I'm going to try.

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.

Is the container into which the juice flows too high for the spout? If so, the spout will be moved upward rather quickly (it is already "out") and if pressing is continued, the juice will remain in the catch basic behind the spout spilling over when full.J L Thomas

where is the leak in the bottom cap , if so check to see if the gasket is there. and also see if its not ripped/ torn anywheres along the edges . if it the little plunger make sure there is no scale build up on it that might keep it open when you turn the reservoir back over when you carry it . other wise it may have a crack some place .

Make sure you aren't putting too much water in. I tend to overfill mine and I have a watery mess when I do. There's a fill line and you can't go even the littlest bit over that.

I don't know why it happens but I had the same experience and left a review here on it. One way to work around it is (and this only works if you're only making 3 or so cups, otherwise you'll have a mess) to not put the carafe in until it's done brewing. I kept the dumb thing but ordered the glass universal which works fine.

Sorry to hear that. Mine doesn't move while blending but it does move slightly in the base. I have had a similar problem with a different brand and just holding it while blending helped. But if you are not satisfied give the help line at Oster a call. They were very helpful to me when I contacted them about my top shattered after I washed it, they sent a replacement in less than a week. Hope this helps. It really is a great blender and the company stands behind its products.

Have only had this problem with drinking glasses getting stuck, one inside the other. Maybe instead of hot water just rap gently with a wooden spoon on all sides of the neck while gently pulling the spout. Cover with a cloth just in case of breakage. Good luck. Hope someone comes up with a better idea.

Not me. Mine pours just fine. Make sure there is gasket on the removeable top above the threads.

Sorry, I have the same issue and didn't know what to do, so I glued the one cup that had cracked at the top seam...which kept the liquid out of the inside gap...other than that, they keep things hot longer, so I keep it with the cracks and all.

Not well at all. We had one for a while several years ago and loved it! but it broke (they do seem to be a bit delicate.) Then my husband finally replaced it recently and the new one is a total pain - if you pour in a very slow trickle you can avoid dumping most of your liquid on the counter but I have yet to manage without some spillage. I think they must have made the spout smaller.

I have not had that problem. But I typically hold on to it while blending. Just a habbit I guess.

I experienced the same problem, but the model had a short spout. The company contacted me and offered the long spout model.It works perfectly. You might be filling the kettle with too much water. I hope this helps.

It sounds like you are filling it too full with water or beans. I make almond or coconut milk, or combined both, but only fill the water up to the first line...no further. Never had a problem with water spilling out. Hope this helps you.
