KT, sorry this wouldnt work with your coffee pot..no place to catch the leaks...the water will just roll right off...sorry!

There is a small trough at the front but, whether it would catch your leak,I'm not sure. Could try it and if it didn't meet your needs, return it.

No it won't it is a flat surface without a place for fluid to go. There is a little indent to pull it out but it really won't hold fluid

The item is flat except for a small groove that runs along the front. I tried pouring a little water on it. Some of the water collected in the groove, but the rest went on the side of the pot.

Leaking water would roll right off onto your counter, or whatever the Handy Caddy was sitting upon.

It's a completely flat surface so it won't hold the coffee if it spills more than a few drops. The finger grip towards the front where you slide the tray towards you holds a little but not a lot!

No, it is a flat surface and nothing to catch the leaking. But if you tolerate a wet handy caddy i don't think it would hurt it.

The Handy Caddy has no reservoir or lip to catch fluids. It is basically two flat pieces of plastic one on top of the other.

Sorry-it leaked at the connection point between the spout and pot after several uses...would try another tea kettle! Good Question!

Personally , I sent mine back after we ordered the second pot, ours was leaking where the stainless and plastic is put together, not the basket overflowing, took awhile to figure that out, me pot fixed it for about 5 days.... Returned for full refund and bought a brewville, have not had any problems with it

If it leaks from the lid when you pour, there are two things assuming the coffee maker does not have a defect. First, pour a bit slowly. Second, when getting the last bit from the pot, take off the lid and then those last drops will come out under control. We like out coffee maker.

You have to make at least half a pot of coffee, so it probably wouldn't be a good one for you. If not used consistently, the water evaporates, too.

I haven't had any problem with mine but if is leaking something other than coffee I would sure return it!!!!

Yes, I do. I have discovered that when you fill the water tank, fill it slowly or the water will leak out the bottom. At first I thought it leaked at any water over 10 cups but I made 12 cups the other day and poured it slowly and there was minimal leakage from underneath. It's good for the price, but you are not getting at $200 coffee maker for $40, if you know what I mean. It's fine for me and it is super cute.

No. There is actually a small hole just above the 4 cup mark so the water would run out. It is a very fast coffee maker though so you might be able to just quickly make an extra cup.

Hi Victoria: I delayed answering your email because I wanted to be 100% sure I was correct. I went home and made a pot of (Mountian Blue) coffee. I filled it up to 5 cups - on the glass carafe it was just a tad under the max line and not a drop spilled. So short answer your pot is defective :(

Before we filled this with plants, we put it outside with the plugs left in. It rained, and it did hold water. I didn't check to see if it leaked, though. If I planned on using it indoors, I'd probably put a tray under it to catch drips. Indoor plants need proper drainage, too.

There is some steam as with all coffee makers. I have had coffee makers ruin cupboards if they are on the counter under them. Always put my pot on my island. Love my Mr. Coffee, no problems. The reason I purchased this model was because of the removable water reservoir that you can clean!

Yes, take it to work!! We LOVE this Carafe for keeping coffee hot. No, it won't spill as long as the lid is on tight!

I wish I could help, but I only live at 6100 or so. This high altitude coffee pot works fantastic for me, but another 2000+ feet will make a big difference. If I ever take it on a camping trip up to higher elevations, I can try it and let you know! I was told by Bunn that the mechanism works with less air than a traditional pot. How much less air? Who knows?

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.

well after i reached a level of frustration i started playing around with it and noticed that right by the frothing wand there is a narrow opening that is vertical and if you take the water tank out you'll see the short hose....push the short hose through the vertical opening and it should stay pushed thru...mine has...and then it will drain into the catch pan that is under the wand and espresso area....the other two hoses go inside the water tank...so far i haven't had any water leakage * )

Hello fellow Amazon buyer! I have this coffee pot and like it a lot. I pour boiling water into the porcelain pot before making coffee. The pot heats up and when I am ready to pour through, I empty the hot water from the pot into my coffee cup. The result is coffee that is actually hotter than coffee made in electric coffee pots that are boiling water drop by drop. In electric pots, the water loses the heat rapidly. So, it is possible to get a very hot, fresh cup of coffee from the Melitta. However, the heat does dissipate. I use a dishtowel to cover the pot if any coffee is going to sit for a while. I hope that I have answered your question! I do recommend the coffee maker.

I have found if the pot isn't sitting properly on the burner it will leak while brewing. Like if it is off center and one side of the pot is higher then the other.
