Does anyone have issues with the glass portion of the press spinning around when it gets hot? That is, the spout moves off-center..

Not at all, but I don't like my coffee super hot, maybe theta makes the difference.

mine does not do that ... however it is so stuck that I cannot separate the glass from the plastic holder in order to clean it.

That doesn't happen to mine. That must be a very annoying problem, though! Perhaps you could try contacting Bodum or Amazon for a replacement?

I thought you meant the spout. After reading your question again, the actual handle does swing up and down, left and right. Hope that is helpful.

What I noticed is you have to pinch the spout to get it out rather than biting down. It's a bad design flaw. But when I pinched it, it did pour out.

I have not had that problem. Using the front of the cup that has the pouring spout avoids that problem.

I'm sorry to hear that but I don't have that issue with mine. I'm very pleased with the way my machine operates. Maybe check to make sure there are no clogs in the cover opening.

yes I have the same problem. What I did was that i held the center tube while i tightened the head so it got really tight, and then it could pan without getting loose. However I think I am doing something incorrectly because I can't control the pan(how smooth it is). Another solution I figured only works when the center tube is in its lowest position and what I do is that I loosen the center tube(the thing that makes it stay in place vertically) so I can kinds control the pan but limited to the head staying on the lowest postion.

The spout is not fixed, you can turn it 360 degrees if you would like. Works great! Very happy with it.

When facing the front spout, twist the spout and cover counter clockwise...it will click off quickly

Mine does not sit flat anymore either but I just figured it was from me dropping it! Though, I have never had a problem cooking it it even though it tilts.

I've had the same problem. Bad design. The workaround that I've found is to close the top before putting the carafe in place. If you put the carafe in first and then close the top, it doesn't seem to work as well.

Make sure the silver knob coming out of the bubble level housing is backed off a turn or two, and the whole top, from the bottom of the bubble level housing, should rotate to pan. Only the bottom part that attaches to the vertical tube stays fixed. It was very stiff at first until I exercised it a few times. It's still a little stiff, but that keeps panning smooth and not jerky.

I can move pot handle only left off center too. You probably use too fine grinded coffee. Try grind it more coarse.

Yes, it's intended to be a little loose. That appears to just be part of the design. The top on mine does not fit tightly into the glass beeker whether the plunger is up or down.

Yes, mine is the same way but its not a problem for me. I just turn it around gently and presto.....problem solved. Its works great so such a small problem is not worth time and energy.

I think it's defective if you mean you have lateral motion when opening the press away from yourself. The halves on mine don't allow for that, sorry but yeah I imagine the hinge is not fit properly.

I had no issue with this thing right out of the box. Yes it won't turn all the way to the left but my perfect temp is achieved with the knob slightly to the right. Maybe my hot water heater just puts out really hot water.

Sometimes the sensor thingy that sits atop the glass carafe is not in the right spot. I usually start fresh and make sure all parts are in the right place---that usually does it.
