Is the cap of this shaker supposed to fit very tight or is it meant to normally be kinda loose?

It's meant to fit and shouldn't be loose. But as with any shaker, you'll need to hold on at the top while shaking.

It fits nice and snuggle, no need to force the cap. Certainly not loose though.

I am having the same problem. I used the shaker five times and the strainer seemed like it was built in to the top piece. However, the strainer piece came off during my sixth use and it appears, after trying several times, that it is unable to fit back on. My shaker is now useless.

Mine fits snugly. I do notice that if the bottom screen, etc., is not tightly screwed to the lid stem, it isn't as tight a fit, so you might try checking that. If that doesn't work, I would return it as defective.

Nope mine fits nice and tight. The only problem I have is that I lost it. :-(

I tighten it pretty darn tight to get to where the locking part of the cap is

I've never tried this, so I did a "shake test" for you. Using the 1/2 gallon pitcher (I think the 1 gallon would be rather heavy to shake) I filled it 1/2 way with water, put the lid back on, and made sure the pour cap was securely in the closed position. First I shook it vigorously in an upright position. No problem - the lid stayed tight and the cap didn't open. Next I turned it upside down without shaking - there was a very slight drip from around the cap. Then I shook it as if I were mixing the contents while it was upside down, and there were only a few drips from around the cap. Forgot to test while shaking side to side. My recommendation would be to put a folded paper towel or cloth over the lid/cap while shaking and put one hand there. I don't think the lid will come off or the cap fly open, but better to be safe than sorry. I should note that my pitchers were purchased several years ago; I can't speak for the quality of ones sold today. Like it or not, sometimes quality changes.

You may have a dud. I have two of these and have given 3 as gifts and I have no complaints. While it's not exactly a precision fit they do not seem at all precarious, with my larger mugs I set the dripper on 2 skewers or chopsticks that I lay across the mouth of the mug (on it's own it fits best on a mug with a 2.75" inside diameter up to one with a 3.5" outer diameter).

The lid is not a very tight fit as this would cause pressure build up.I never had an issue with the insert,it fits fine in the unit but not tight it does not move however. Hope this helps.

There is a little slit in the silicone stopper. I have to squeeze it open before each time I put the cap on. There is a sweet spot between too tight and too loose when the lid screws on also. I think because air needs to flow between the silicone and the cap itself for the liquid to come through.

Hello, mine is snug as it has the two latches which sorta snap into place. When I hold it and carry it around it doesn't shake. Hope this helps. Make sure your air filter isn't too big or it might prevent lid from closing completely if you're not using bag filter.

I believe I've seen this addressed before. My best guess is that "Shaker" means the size of the container and the fact that it has handholds. We may need to get inventive here. I am going to either secure the inner seal to the container after punching well spaced holes into it, or put same said holes into the container lid itself to make it a true shaker (may need to loosen container contents a bit as you go). I will retain the inner seal to maintain as much of the moisture that is present (perhaps also placing plastic wrap over opening as well. I totally get your question, but believe we can make this work until they achieve a true shaker container. Hope this adaptation helps everyone.

The cap on my waterman snaps on tight and secure. I never had a problem with it coming loose. I am sorry about what happened to your shirts.

Mike, I purchased the Waterman Expert pen. To date, I have had no problem with the cap becoming loose. I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Good luck. Regards, Tom J.

If your hand is small. The lid is fairly large. If you get it don't forget to loosen cap when filling a glass as suction stops flow unless lid is loose.

The rotation of the blade has nothing to do with how tight the cap is. The blade rotates on a bearing independent of the cap and seal. You probably have a bad bearing on the blade. Hold the base plate of the blade and spin the blade. It should turn freely.

Dear M, I purchased 2 of the vintage Chinese fortune sticks. I gave one as a present and I kept one.They appeared to be handmade. So the lid fits somewhat tightly but not securely.
