can the dust particles go inside the spout since the spout has no cover?

It could happen, but in practice it's not a problem. Our kids have dropped theirs in the dirt, then we've just quickly washed it off with no dirt getting in the spout or into the bottle.

We wash it after each use. It has never been a problem or concern with daily use but I suppose it happens.

It will pass through the spout but the cup comes with a removeable valve that may not let the thicker mixture through. Like I said it can be removed so if you are not concerned about spills from the cup being turned up side down you should be fine using it without the valve.

It does not completely cover the spout but what is uncovered is a very small gap that is certainly not a problem.I'm glad I ordered the cover--just used the Lodge 10 in. cast iron skillet with the lid today. Works great!

You can leave the spout open so it doesn't whistle. I've found that the whistle is not very loud to begin with though.

yes, I checked. there is plastic in the spout, but so far there has been no melting, or visible change in the spout. does that answer your question? and I'm curious-why is this an issue? Are you concerned re: melting?

Mine doesn't but if it's not deep through the holes it may not matter? Might just ask for a replacement from Amazon Customer Service to be safe, don't want any other particles coming off of it...

Yes, the spout isn't protected like other cups, but I've never had an issue with them and my son (who has been using them for about six months) has never gotten sick from it touching the ground, floor, etc. He's also pretty good about putting it up on the table when not drinking from it, so that helps!

No, but see about vaccuming out accumulated dust. That can perhaps be a problem.

Yes. There are coverings that you have to open but are easy to open. When not in use the coverings protect the openings from dust and water.

Not completely, it does cover all of the rim but the outer part of the spouts.

I have not tried that. seems to collect a lots of dust with the attached filter

There is no dust cover. I usually cover it back up with the plastic packaging and then back in the shipping box.

There is a chance of that happening because the end is open in the groove that the spout sits in. I think what Jack said is a good idea, or simply wrap a piece of napkin around it before you close the spout.

Quite possible, but not really designed for that. Any residue left in spout after use would probably harden &. Be difficult to clean

It does not have a cover on the spout but the lid does screw on. I used mine specifically for travel becuse my toddler has the habit of tossing his sippi when he's done drinking and they are pretty sturdy & leak proof. The only problem I had was the lid cracked after he tossed it on a tile floor a few times.

No, no cover. But it doesn't spill out unless you fill it too much, remember it's a small grinder.

No, of course not. It is an excellent pot and frequent use prevents any sediment buildup. Also, use a flashlight to see inside.
