Does someone have a video of how the new 2014 design work? I understand that there is no longer a on off control at the pot filler spout.

THE FIRST ANSWER IS NOT CORRECT - water only flows from one place at a time. I just installed the new version of this faucet this weekend. It's just like a normal "old fashioned" faucet/side sprayer combo - when the water is turned on at the main lever (at the side of the faucet base), water flows out of the pot filler arm of this unit. When the sprayer handle is depressed (either manually or because the small hook is latched to keep the handle squeezed for you), the water stops coming out of the pot filler and flows from the sprayer. You can't have water coming out both places at the same time. Because of the new design, water will always be flowing out somewhere if the main lever is turned on: spray handle depressed = water thru the sprayer; spray handle not depressed = water thru the pot filler. You can latch the hook on the spray handle to keep it always depressed and then use that arm of the fixture as your main "faucet" when you turn the lever on/off if you want. Unfortunately the new design results in wasting water, since letting go of the sprayer handle while cleaning dishes does not stop the water flow.

OK, I HAVE THE FIX. The problem is the lever under the diverter does not get pushed back far enough. The protrusion on the rear of the reservoir only pushes to the horizontal, which lets the water from condensation drip backwards, underneath. I got a teeny screwdriver (a paper clip might work) got it red hot and pressed it into the lever several times until it burned a hole through it. Next I got a teensy screw and screwed it into the hole, leaving 1/4" sticking out. Now when you place the reservoir into the coffee pot it will push the lever back an extra 1/4" which levers the water diverter down more at an angle so the water can run down it properly. I still get a few drips down in the heating element but that's better than the fill up I used to get.. (Original answer) The only way to get the water out is tip the whole thing into the sink. Ours fills up and will leak onto the counter after just a few says if we don't do this. The problem is a poor design in the diverter that is supposed to send the condensation back into the carafe, but doesn't.

there is a shut off on the end of the main spout. I would not buy this product, however, as its quality control in the assembly is not good.

Just turn the lid and tilt the pot. The labels on the lid wear off in a few months. So, line up the slot at the base of the center nob of the lid with the pouring spout. Practice with cool water first.

There is a tube made of aluminum, plastic and rubber. The aluminum tube extends into the pot. The rubber helps form a seal with the lever mechanism to allow the pumping of the beverage. The plastic spigot dispenses the liquid. I usually run it through piping hot water with every new pot. The pot does get dirty after several uses. I'm still working on an effective way of cleaning it. The opening is too narrow for anything larger than a bottle scrubber and the pot is so deep that most bottle scrubbers wont reach the bottom of the pot. Somebody suggested using a toilet brush. I don't think it would fit.

I was having the same exact problem and i couldnt figure it out. My assistant played with it and I think she put the gasket at the bottom or something and now it works. Unfortunately i didnt fix it, she did i dont know how to help you. I would suggest that you change the order in which the parts are inside the handle and see if you can get it to work.

No, mine is really good. Make sure the main valve is fully open and the pot filler valve is fully closed.

There ARE female threads in the spout. Other spouts sometimes use an o-ring, slide on and set screw. This uses the standard pipe threads.

The pot lid is the only drawback I see on this coffeemaker but you can make it work. I have 2 ways. First, as you hold the handle to pour, put your thumb on top of the handle and brace it against the plastic hinge to hold the lid in place. That will keep the lid from opening so that the coffee will go to the spout. If this doesn't work, then pour with one hand while holding the lid in place with the other. That should always work. Also, you may want to pour a little more slowly. I would like to see a snap-fitting lid on this pot myself, like I had on my old B&D pot. Edit March 2015: I've recently had the same problem of spillage. I find that if I pour at an angle I have to forcefully hold the top in place to avoid the issue. However, if I pour directly perpendicularly there is no problem.

The spout stays open when you want it to. I'm not quite sure what others are talking about, but ours new one and old one clearly have a lock setting that you just have to push closed to override it. It's a very handy design that we are quite happy with. In fact, we have two of them--one for our kitchen at home and one for our RV.

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.

Note that the company has changed the design.....the valve control on the pot-filler has been removed; there is only the main control now. Opening the sprayer stops the flow of water to the pot-filler.

I have not used that feature, but I believe it does. We have removed the pot for various reasons before the end and there was no leakage.

There's a cover on the pot that you screw on. You either screw the cover off altogether and pour or unscrew the cover to the 'Pour' position and pour out what you want.

Julie: Just pull the top silver piece straight off and fill. Be careful as today I filled my pepper grinder and I pulled the top rather firmly and some peppercorns flew when the top came off. My fault as I was in a bit of a hurry. Hope you enjoy the grinder. Do you have both the salt and pepper ones? I have both. Had to order from two different vendors, but love them both. They are well worth the money spent. Enjoy!

Mine works perfectly. Be sure the swivel bar inside, is over the basket when you finish loading the pot. I had a little trouble in the beginning.

Yes it does. On this new model after charging you remove the canister so it is not always sticking out like the old one. The spout is also straight up instead of out to the side. I like both of these changes as it stores in a much smaller space in refrig. I bought this as a gift, almost wish mine would quit so I could get this new one.
