How is pouring from this kettle? Has anyone noticed dripping, splashing and such from it? I bought Sunpentown SK-1717 and have this dripping problem.

Pours very well. No drips or splashes. My late husband was English, a Russell Hobbs kettle has been the only way to go fo years and years. I was thrilled to be able to purchase one here in the US upon my return from living many years in the UK. The squat kettle-shape, as opposed to the more common tall one, is more energy efficient as well. Love mine!!!!!

I haven't had any problem with dripping or running down the outside of the spout. No splashing either, it's pretty smooth.

Michael,It is excellent. It looks short, but it does not seem to make a difference. I have not experienced any drippingor leaking from this kettle. Hope you like it!

With a intentional pour it pours ok. Be carful if contents are hot of course. Pouring slowly it drips.

Sorry, I don't know, but it has performed xceedingly well, whereas many teapots drip from the spout after pouring this one is designed not too. I would google for the manufacturer website and ask them about its place of origin.

Sorry-it leaked at the connection point between the spout and pot after several uses...would try another tea kettle! Good Question!

I have not had that problem at all. Pours without a drop. I wonder if your carafe is defective??

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

Hi Victoria: I delayed answering your email because I wanted to be 100% sure I was correct. I went home and made a pot of (Mountian Blue) coffee. I filled it up to 5 cups - on the glass carafe it was just a tad under the max line and not a drop spilled. So short answer your pot is defective :(

No, I didn't experience any rust and I bought about 1 and half years ago. It's one of the best glass electric kettles I have used. The best thing is I can put my hand inside to scrub and clean the residue built up on the bottom of the kettle. So the inside surface still looks pretty good and shiny. I wish the spout can be better designed to avoid spills when pouring the hot water. Now I make sure I lift the hot lid up till it's perpendicular and pour carefully to avoid spillage. Good luck.

Mine is leaking the coffee from bottom when brewing. I can foresee more leaking problems in near future. I only had it for a few weeks too.

If your carafe drips from the handle perhaps it's defective. Mine is perfect. Does it drip while pouring or while brewing? I would carefully examine the handle and the flip top. Does the top fit tight inside the rim? Does the hole where the coffee comes out line up with the hole in the top? This coffee maker wasn't cheap so if you like the pot, I'd ask for a replacement.

I've had no problems like this. It seems there may be something else going on with yours. Was anything spilled on it?

I've had mine for two months and I was also concerned about leaks, because of where the dispenser was to be placed. I'm happy to say no leaks - be mindful assembling the spigot and realize that occasionally you will have an errant drip, just like off your kitchen faucet.My stand was finished.

We see a bit of water on the base unit but never enough to run over on to the counter top. It may be just condensation or even splash over from our filling the kettle. I would not say it leaks in any way that might cause me to worry.

Wondering... how quickly do you feel the water should come to a boil? Peeked this morning as was a little surprised to see some coffee had already appeared in the top portion eventhough there was not a full rolling boil going on below. Wondered if I had the stove setting a little too low. Thoughts?

No I have not had this problem. I have had it a few years. No drips. I would guess it is not likely to stop either, just due to the nature of drips.

I had the same problem and I don't know if it was a coincidence or not but after I gave it a good cleaning it stopped. Now maybe you can tell me how to stop it from leaking? It constantly drips and if I don't forget to watch it I end up with water all over my counter.

Try to do the cleaning cycle again, could just be a simple malfunction. I've never had that problem. I love my DeLonghi Coffee Maker, it makes the best coffee, but I have a problem with spilling coffee when I'm pouring a cup. I believe it's the engineering of the pot.
