Yes you do have to remove the lid to pour water in.The little hole is for the whisteling effect to let you know when the water is boiling.

Thanks to everyone who answered this question! I had to search through pages to find it.

Lid would only be in contact with boiling water if you over filled it, and you can pour without opening the lid.

Hi. I have one of these, and I can take the lid off of mine without removing it from the base.

dont try to pour all the water out or the inverted position will dislodge the filter and lid. when pushed firmly on, perpendicular pours work just fine without holding the lid. I refill often to keep enough water in to do this

I would say not, the glass carrafe is the only thing contacting the water, there may be a metal spring in the lid that pops up, but you can avoid touching the lid when pouring. BTW after I returned my defective unit, they sent me a replacement which has not had any problems for about 4 months now...

That is exactly how I do it. I remove the whole top. It is easier to add water this way and much easier to mix things in with the water this way.

Yes. You can drink or sip from it without the lid, but you would be doing so from the full 3" opening as you would from a regular drinking cup.

Just the two buttons on top lifts a hinged lid that is removable. The lid hides the pump feature which is removable also so you can pour in the coffee.

Yes. The lid for water receptacle is at the top of the machine so you just lift & pour. If pouring from a mug is difficult you can always pour from a container that is easier

Not sure I understand the question. As long as the lid is screwed on, it does not leak but, obviously, if you remove the lid and turn it on its side the contents will pour out.

Manually. There is a lever, which easily locks the spout lid in the open or closed position You can leave the spout lid in the upright position, if you want to, but if you do that, the kettle will not whistle. It whistles when the kettle lid and the lid on the pour spout are both securely in place (and when the water is hot, of course).

You are correct. You do not have to remove it. Be aware that you absolutely do not want to use a fine ground coffee. They will overflow

No, not sold without lid. It could be removed, but it doesn't look right and you run the risk of break/cracking the unit doing it.

No you don't. You twist the lid a bit and it opens to reveal an opening in which the liquid can pour from. Hope this helps. We use ours for water as well..it works great.

No the lid doesn't remove but the coffee pot is very easy to clean. The clear little percolater top does remove though. I love this coffee maker. It makes a great cup of coffee and will last a lifetime, unlike the plastic drip models

you have to lift the lid.... this is not the item that they sent me. it was the item that i ordered... but they made a mistake... and i am soooooo glad they did. i got the one where you lift the coffee and reservoir out and pour the water in. much, much, much nicer than this model. i have both models now... this one i took to camp and when it goes, i will replace it with the one they sent me by mistake....

no.. just a "thermos styled" shaker... there is a valve in the top that you can close or open and the lid screws on/off... measure/? who measures?? haha... long live the "free pour"...
