Does the top come off? We use a Mileta drip approach to make our coffee .. so we need to be able to set the mileta drip filter on top.

Hi Gail - yes the top screws off, but the opening is a round hole with apx 1.5" diameter hole.think of a Thermos glass liner in a plastic case.I don't know what a Melitta drip filter looks like.I think it holds 32oz. I usually use it for TEA and put 2 tea bags and 3 splenda in the Copco carafe. If I were to use for coffee, I'd brew in my Mr Coffee and then pour the hot coffee in to the Copco carafe.

the top does com off, but a melita drip could be too wide for the size of the opening.

The top does unscrew. Not familiar with the mileta drip. The opening would be the size of a thermos.

Yes, you can twist of the top to fill and clean the container. But not sure about putting a filter cup on top; due to the curvature of the spout. You won't be able to site the filter flat/horizontal on the top. If you want to manually hold it above the opening while it fills, you'll be fine. BTW, if you read my review, I would not recommend buying this carafe. Water leaks into the cavity; peeling off the silver coating; and that coating pours back into your coffee. Not a good design.

Yes, the screw top does come off. The opening is only 1-1/2 inches so I don't know if this will work with your filter or not.

If you pull the carafe out the drip stops but I think you want to wait until it fully brews since really it does not make a huge amount of coffee and it really has the full rounded strength after the full brew.

It is an easy answer. Just put the coffee in it and close it. Depend upon how you want it you put a little or a lot of coffee in it. Never fill it to the top. �

I found that if I use ground coffee the water filters through slower than if I grind my own coffee as it is more of a course ground. The tapper/filter goes on top of the coffee and then you pour the water on top of that.

It works fine that way. it fits okay as soon as you shut the lid, but it does tend to want to pop up when the lid is open and you are filling it. I take the pot out to put coffee in the filter holder, then fiill the pot, close the lid and put the pot in position. I don't notice the pop up that way

No, it just keeps you cup warm by the steam of the water going thru to the coffee. You can take the top off and see what I mean. It pops off and on easy.

Melissa: We've never tried positioning a coffee filter holder and filter on top of the Zojirushi and using that to brew our coffee. We brew our coffee separately in a coffee maker and then pour it in here for dispensing. As someone else has mentioned, pre-heating the Airpot with hot water keeps the liquid hot longer.

If your useing it to roast coffee I didn't evenbuse the top. I bought a funnel like peice from homedepot in the ducting and modified it to put in the top. I saw other people useing this kinda method on utube.

The top screws on at the black grip (easily). It's definitely drip free as you shake it, but pouring gets super messy. I wrote about it in my review.

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.

No, it 'POPs' on and off. It forms a good seal so no coffee leaks out as you drink. The top is also made of a HARD plastic. I LOVE the travel mug because it won't fall over while driving. Put it on the dash and leave it and not have to worry.

Hi Wendy, You must put the coffee in from the top. I' do have to pull mine out to load the water and the coffee but it is no problem for me. I like the pot and the timer lets me wake up to the smell of coffee.

Yes. When you pull the green part off, the cup and empty it, then kind of knock the ground off the rest. just push through with your finger on the inside part and the cap will just pop off. I had the same issue of struggling to get it off. Just make sure you tap it first to get all the grounds out or you'll get the grounds on your finger. Hope that makes sense.

If your referring to a glass dropper with the top no, but it has a plastic piece on the rim that allows it to slowly drip out? hope that helps

I fill mine up, let it filter to the bottom and then top it off until totally full to the line at the lid. NO PROBLEM

We use one in our office here and have run into this problem only two or three times when we first got it. We figured out a few things that can lead to this issue:-users mistakenly leaving the drip-stop in the half-shut position when brewing-loose grounds building up in the drip stop mechanism after successive brews (especially overflows) and blocking water flow-coffee that is too finely ground-gold filter not being seated fully/properly in the basket

Yes, the top part comes off. You put the water in to the fill line, then put the top back on, matching up the black dots (and not pressing down! Just letting it hang.) Then you turn it on.
