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.

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

Not sure what you mean by covering cap. It came exactly as pictured. No cap, just the black silicone spout which opens by pulling up.

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

no. but it's not important to me because: it's a hard spout so stuff doen't stick to it like it would to the soft spouts, the cup doesn't leak even if it is left rolling around on the floor, I find the cups that come with covers never seem to have the cover on when you need it anyway..

I don't know if I quite understand the question but I would say no aseverything is all enclosed. I have not had any problems with dust ordirt getting inside.

I have never had any trouble with dust. I do not thing the crucial parts are really exposed as the design has everything covered except the end.

If the door is closed, you shouldn't have trouble with dust getting onto the items inside. Just got one of these. Looks nice!

i don't think so,as anything inside pipe would get caught in spinner. great product though.

I don't cover mine and it's fine. I just dust it with a Swiffer duster once in awhile.

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

Yes, as long as the cooler has a flat spot where the spout would come out. If it is rounded you might have some leaking.

yes, I checked. there is plastic in the spout, but so far there has been no melting, or visible change in the spout. does that answer your question? and I'm curious-why is this an issue? Are you concerned re: melting?

There is a chance of that happening because the end is open in the groove that the spout sits in. I think what Jack said is a good idea, or simply wrap a piece of napkin around it before you close the spout.

Didn't try that and probably wouldn't. The fine abrasive dust might damage the vac, Shop vacs are cheap enough,

No. The only plastic inside is the little filter in the spout, you can remove it. Even at full water limit it doesn't touch it anyway.

Yes. There are coverings that you have to open but are easy to open. When not in use the coverings protect the openings from dust and water.
