not easy to pour from unless it is two-thirds empty

not easy to pour from unless it is two-thirds empty, always seem to drip and run down the side, leaving oil on the counter where ever I set it down.

First, a coffeepot should pour without spilling.  You cannot pour the water in the container without it spilling.  You've got 2 inches of space.  Secondly, no one can ever get the basket in without a flashlight.  There are two holes the size of a pencil lead.  Black holes on a black maker without any indicator of where it is in about a 2 inch space.  You can fiddle with it and eventually find it.  There's nothing to guide it in.

You turn it on, set the clock and set the timer.  Not complicated.  But without the directions, good luck.  I've misplaced mine.  After going to Mr. Coffee, and narrowing it down to 40 models, I realize I must get the model number.  Guess where it is?  The bottom.  I slip it over the counter and look so I don't need to pour out the water.  I can't read it.  Out goes the water.  I turn it upside down.  Slightly raised letters--black on black.  I try the old pencil rubbing trick. Not raised enough.  I pull out a flashlight.  I try different lights.  I still cannot read it.  Finally, finding JUST the right light and adjusting it from the side, I can make it out.  Whew.  And I discover that I forgot to remove the coffee filter/coffee.

I go back to the web site.  This model, still sold at Bed Bath and Beyond is not listed.  I try looking at similar models starting with bv or ending with x-23.  I search in 10 pot makers.

IF you buy this, laminate the manual and tape it to the back.  (You will spill when you try to fill up the pot).  The coffee isn't great...but it's not bad, either.  But if you value your mental health, RUN AWAY

This product is very well constructed; the top comes apart in sev. pieces to wash--all is dishwasher-
proof, but you will need one of those "baby-accessories" type baskets to hold the small parts.

I only give it 3 stars because, unless you plan on making a lot of Alphabet "pancakes" (ie, Pen), I find it
more trouble than worth.  The batter has to be fairly thin to come out of the nozzle; thereby making "ribbons"/alphabets of cakes.  You can use it without the nozzle & I haven't tried this for say, Cupcake mix into pans?  You pour all the ingredients into the container, shake & pour.  It is hard to
get all the mix out of the container, other than rinsing.

Does not work very well to drink directly from the bottle.

For me, the potential convenience of reading for above is not worth the number of times I've spilled pouring from the wide shallow spout. I often heat thin liquids like chicken broth or hot water but this model is not good for pouring. I have spilled many times. I have been using it for a year and a half and it hasn't really gotten easier to use.

I really like it but when you pour from it the top comes off. You have to hold on to it.

This does not measure out to be two cups when you're filling it with food.

It does work as it states but the problem I have is it leaves gas at the bottom because the screen doesn't go to the bottom of the funnel so I have to dump out the couple ounces left. I cant put back in a container because im pumping it from another tank and not easily poured back in.

Issues I have found with this "dispenser" include the whole front part opening (frequently if the canister is full) when you pour - what a mess. The canister is very heavy when filled with cat food - those of you with aging hands (me) or not as much strength in your hands, will have issues using it for such unless you don't fill it more than 1/2 way. The pour "spout" is not at the very front, meaning you have to tip it further to get the food out.

Main Problem: When pouring, the liquid dribbles out of the spout unless you pour very very slowly.  In addition, because the centerpiece is metal, you cannot  microwave with it inside and have to remove it each time you want to microwave it.

I recommend something else, unless you want to spend 30 seconds filling up 1 cup of tea.

Because of the shape of the pot you cannot pour every last drop from the pot to the reservoir which is really annoying. Setting the auto time is also tedious because the buttons aren't super responsive. Otherwise its a great coffee maker.

I bought this flask to take to Iceland with me, the bottom in not flat, so doesn't stand straight to fill. I will return and try another one..

This is interesting at first. I've used it for frappes and whipping up some light salad dressings but,if the liquid is even slightly thick, it slows down considerably, making it difficult to whip. If you are looking to whip up some dense liquids, this is not the mini mixer for you.

These are really cute and handy.  However, no matter what I try, I am unable to get the dropper to fill more than 1/3 of the way.  So to get a full dropper, I have to take 3-4 every time and then I'm merely guessing at how much I've used.  I was looking for a dropper I could fill out at least mostly fill every time and so far, after two solid months of use, that had never come close to happening.  I even tried switching, hoping it was just a fluke, but it seems they are all like that.  Very disappointed.  The blue is nice, but I need functionality over appearance.

Difficult to use with the two hole especially the top one. Need to pour your liquid in before using.

It is a bit tricky to fill.  If I had a funnel small enough for the opening, I doubt the soap would go through it.

Works okay; the lid is a bit cumbersome as you have to completely remove it when you pour.
