I see reviews mentioning this drips a lot.. Does it drip when you start pouring? Or only when you finish pouring (like a wine bottle)?

I actually bought this item as a gift, so I haven't seen it in use for a while. I tested it first, which is how I knew it dripped. As I recall, the drip came after pouring the wine. It was that last little bead that would drip down the side of the decanter. This was a common irritation in all the decanters I tested. I felt that for the price, the decanter looked elegant and was still worth buying. You'd want a napkin, though, to be handy after pouring.

This does indeed drip like a sieve but after your finished. Also the lack of padding and insulation on the shipping is atrocious. I'd go somewhere else for a decanter.

I've bought two of these. The first one, I was not able to. The second one didn't really have that problem.My experiences from the first one was that no matter how tightly I screwed the cap on, it would still leak if the bottle was on its side. I never had an issue from either of mine leaking from the cap when it was right-side up. If it leaks from that position, you probably should get a new one because that's not supposed to happen whatsoever.

It shouldn't CONSTANTLY drip - - however because of the design, it WILL drip when the instant hot unit is heating the water to it's holding temperature. This is NOT a flaw - - it's just physics. On these faucet units - the valves do NOT release water from the holding tank, rather they ADD water TO the tank. The heating tank is ALWAYS vented out through the faucet. So - - when it's heating, the water expands slightly (or steam is vented), and drips out of the faucet. If, however, your faucet drips ALL the time - - that is a problem !!

After finishing a shot, mine continues to drip for about 15-20 seconds afterwards. It's most likely just left over water stored in the capsule that's dripping out. I don't believe it's anything to worry about, as it always falls in the drip tray.

I have not had any problems with mine... Sometimes if you do not line up the bottom right when you screw them on they will leak (just like anything with a screw cap). What I noticed is that water can get stuck in the bottom (Between the white "ring" and the bottle plastic) and it seems like the bottle is leaking but its not.

Are you shaking the bottle beforehand? Other than that, sounds normal to me. It has a very runny consistency.

No. And - on a different matter - as I stated in my review, best to get the Dripless Teapot Gadget (not currently available on Amazon but if you Google it, you'll find it) because the teapot does drip significantly when it's full and you make the first pour (and sometimes even the second).

it drips depending on the angle that you hold it, I dip it into the honey and pull it out, then if I hold it vertical it will drip faster, if I hold it at an angle it will drip slower. I would imagine a thinner honey or syrup will drip faster.

That's the way it is- it's not a good top design. You have to remove the cap of the big bottle and LEARN not to spill any water when turning it down onto cooler. It took me a good amount of getting used to it. I hope this helped. Happy No Spilling!

Actually it does. I noticed it doing that this morning. I just thought maybe it was because I had too much water in it, but it leaked again after I refilled the bottle.

It works great for me. I use it every day for my vinaigrette dressing, no drips.

You're right. It will drip IF the gauge is turned other than almost upright. Mine stays at a slight angle to make it easier to read and I haven't lost any fluid from it. Also, I really like the gauge. Not sure what the result would be if you didn't make the cut.

It is difficult to avoid some spillage! I move quickly and usually that's ok. Incidentally, the bottle I had before this one had a better design and this didn't happen! I should have kept it and refilled instead! It may be intentionally designed this way, so you purchase more. It is so mild though, that it is ok if some spills out.

Ah... Without a pointed spout, one will always get dribbles, methinks. But I have not found the bottle to be messy. Nothing that a quick swipe with a paper towel won't fix. You could always pour it into your favorite bottle with a pour spout after making the dressing. That way, you only need one of these bottles for mixing the dressing. Hey---that's a great idea!

Hi, it doesnt really drip on counter, my issue with drip tray was that when it was delivered it was a little bent and it annoys me at times, so when I empty it in sink its tilted but other than that, it does a great job of collecting all the water from, rack is great itself. hope this helps.

Im sorry, I did not encounter this problem- But I did notice that the water flows through the 5 stage filter much faster the more you refill.....it did kinda seem to drip at first.

Just be careful when you take the top off to refill. Water will drip out of the top. Otherwise when it is running, the mist is so fine it dissipates quickly. I have mine sitting directly on my wood desk. I just make sure to keep a paper towel handy when I refill.
