Is the top tight? We ordered one from amazon a couple weeks ago and returned it because the lid fell off when you poured.

No problems with ours! Maybe you just received a one off "lemon". Try again...my kids love ours as do I. So great for mixing powdered drinks...and for "remixing" when juices settle.

No problem of that kind with mine. It takes a little pressure to press the top on to the container.

The whole top lid does come off but its a much better design than the previous one. It stays alot better. And its setup so you can place your thumb on the edge of the lid while holding the handle so it doesnt come flopping off. The older brita used to always fall off but this one stays much better for us!

The lid stays on with normal use, but it is admittedly loose in that it isn't "fastened on" securely. This particular pitcher tends to drip a bit when pouring, but placing a finger on the lid helps somewhat.

It doesn't fall over easily, wobbles but tends to stay upright. And if lid tight it doesn't leak at all when tipped or upside down.

I have an earlier model with the same cover. I've dropped it several time while it was filled. Usually the lid stays on. +1 for a tight lid!

My top, the end with the little funnel, comes off as an assembly with a quarter turn to the left (lefty loosey - righthy tighty). As Lionel says, the assembly is glued, although my funnel slips off (not glued). There is a rubber seal that may be the reason yours is sticking so tightly because I've had a similar problem with whole house water filter that wouldn't unscrew due to a tight rubber seal.

YES, I CALLED !!! Place 2 of the flat lids on till sealed then remove the top one and you will have a tight seal.I wanted it for that reason, and was down to the last ok to buy it She I saw your question and the answers you were getting. I STOPPED RIGHT THERE, AND CALLED. I have bought mine.

The Top stays on. You actually have to pull out the sides slightly to remove the lid. Very good quality

Mine was not tight. Been using it multiple times daily have not had a problem in over a year. Good luck -I love it.

Mine was tight too but I eventually got it off. Try wiggling it. My product was defective lower down the carafe so I returned it.

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.

The lid does not create a tight seal. If it were to be tipped over the lid would either come off or it would slowly leak.

Don't pour fast. Slowly and it doesn't come out of the top. I haven't had a problem with that.

Mine fits snugly. I do notice that if the bottom screen, etc., is not tightly screwed to the lid stem, it isn't as tight a fit, so you might try checking that. If that doesn't work, I would return it as defective.

My top closes just fine. If you have it too full then maybe it wouldn't. Maybe you have a defective one. Make sure it's not overflowing and then maybe take it back if it's still not working properly.

I haven't had that problem...quite the opposite. The lid was on so tight I had trouble getting it off.

Nope...lid holds very tight....the center cap holds tight but seems as if there is enough roo. To allow steam to pass so pressure doesn't buold up
