Does the carafe pour well? My current Mr Coffee pot leaks coffee/water all over the counter every time I fill the water or pour a cup of coffee.

No, it's the same as other Mr. Coffee models, you have to pour slowly to avoid a spill

No have not had that problem. The spout is really good about not doing that

It pours very well. I am very pleased with this coffee pot! It is very easy to operate (setting time delay, etc). It also allows you to sneak a cup without dripping.

My coffee pot has never leaked. It works perfectly. You might have to return it for a new one.

As far as I can see, the portion of the carafe that comes in contact with the coffee is all glass. There is a metal band around the outside bottom of the pot but it has no real bearing on the pouring of the coffee. I have always had good tasting coffee from this pot - but then the coffee you get out of it is only as good as the grinds you put in!

I have found condensation does tend to drip down the back when you open the lid to remove the basket. I put some paper towels under the machine when I set it up because I read other reviews with this problem. The coffee this machine makes is so good I'm willing to overlook a little leaking condensation issue.

I don't know why it happens but I had the same experience and left a review here on it. One way to work around it is (and this only works if you're only making 3 or so cups, otherwise you'll have a mess) to not put the carafe in until it's done brewing. I kept the dumb thing but ordered the glass universal which works fine.

I sent this coffee maker back..it leaks water or coffee all over..I read this in the comments and bought it anyway. They were right and I should have taken them seriously. Not having the coffee maker anymore I can't advise on the cup but I will warn u against buying it.. A word to the wise should be sufficient.

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.

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.

I ordered mine this past fall, and yes mine leaks slightly where the spout connects to the lid. Not enough to drip, but you can see liquid trapped underneath. I just use it for homemade coffee creamer, so although it's not perfect, it definitely gets the job done.

I did not have that problem. My problem with this is that it did not keep the coffee hot and it shut itself right away. I consider it not a great carafe that did not have the insulation properties to keep the coffee only "warm." Poor quality control so I returned it before the end of 30 days.

I've had this same problem. I keep my coffee maker clean, use the clean cycle with vinegar, use Q tip on lid. It's still pouring coffee (or water when I tried to clean it again today) all over my counter top. Mine is less than a year old, usually one pot a day. I'm really frustrated@

I have one and it works Great. Are you locking the coffee filter in tightly? Sometimes if there are few grains of coffee on the sealing edge of the filter it will leak. Ensure that it is clean. Also use the filter with the two discharge ports. The other filter is much harder to use and achieve satisfactory results. Hope this helps.

Sounds like a defect....if it is coffee that is leaking out, there is a crack somewhere in the pot. If it was steam, I would suggest vegetable oiling the screwing part. Also there is the possibility you might be using too much coffee. As you put coffee in the hopper, tamp it down with the spoon after each addition and fill it just below the rim. But to be honest, it sounds like it is defective.

I have had my coffeemaker since April and initially gave it a bad review because of this problem. The answer for me is the positioning of the carafe on the heating plate. If it is not in EXACTLY the right position you will get the overflow of grounds and minimal coffee will flow into the pot. After a while you get a feel for the exact right position, but the machine is very finicky and even now I find myself occasionally missing the spot. Other than that, it is a great coffeemaker.

Since that has never been a problem for me, I would have to watch how you pour the coffee. Maybe the pot is too close to the cup. It only spills when I am filling the canister and that is because I am holding the pot too close to it and am in a hurry, so just wipe up the water when done. I love this coffee pot and never want a different kind.

Coffee tastes pretty good. Coffemaker is good. I am only concerned because the carafe leaks.

No-we've had no issues with this carafe/brewer at all! Finally a great coffee maker :)
