How can I stop a leaky coffee pot/carafe?

I have purchased *so* many drip coffee makers over the years (different brands) and about 90% of them drip when you try to pour out of the carafe. This makes a big mess, not to mention the chance of burning someone with hot coffee. I just bought a new 12 cup coffee maker and it’s one of the worst with this problem I have had.

Has anyone else noticed this and is there a solution? The coffee just seems to dribble down the spout when pouring into a cup. If you pour fast it seems to spill everywhere :( . This is SO frustrating! Help!

One of the best things I have done is to do away with those leaky carafes altogether!

Using a coffee on demand type coffee maker is the answer. And one of the best benefits is that the coffee on demand system doesn’t use a heat plate to keep a carafe of coffee hot. So your freshly brewed coffee stays hot and fresh for hours in the insulated carafe. Similar to a thermal carafe coffee maker … only way better.

Coffee has chemical taste/smell?

For some reason, when I make coffee at home with my 4 cup coffee maker, it has a chemical taste/smell. It sort of smells like rubbing alcohol, and tastes how it smells. I am using the correct amount of coffee, and I made sure there is no soap residue from when I wash out the pot and filter basket. Has anyone else had this problem before? Also-this has happened to two different brands of coffee makers; I threw my Mr.Coffee one in the garbage because I thought the chemical was coming from that, but my Cuisinart does the same.

Is it possible the chemical taste could be a plastic taste. I just read on a coffee forum the same question as yours. I do not agree with the others as the water being the problem. I would first look at the type coffee grounds I was using before investing in a water filter system. (are you able to drink the water from the tap? if you are than it is not the water for sure. Call Cuisinart before you toss it like your Mr. Coffee. It appears you are not the only one having a problem with the Cuisinart:

That coffeemaker smell is REAL!
by: Mama G

This past March I bought a new coffeemaker Cuisinart DCC 1200 Series and could not wait to try it the first time. Well to my surprise it smelled like a chemical plant giving off it’s fumes. I had to waste the first couple pots before I wised up to washing it with vinegar a couple times and it reduced it 99%. I’ll continue to clean it again and hope to get the 1% out. The manufacturers should tell us consumers what to expect. They owe us not for the maker only but for the wasted expensive coffee we had to toss out. In closing there have been so many recalls of products you have to be careful what you consume or wear these days.

Coffee from new coffeemaker tastes putrid
by: Monie
We bought a new Cuisinart coffeemaker. To our surprise, the coffee smells and tastes awful. May daughter gave a good name to it: PUTRID. I had my sister come over and taste it, and she was baffeled also. Someone said we need to use it a lot before it tastes good. But, how much coffee do we have to waste? I decided it is just as bad as putting some rubbing alcohol in it and trying to drink it. Just thinking about it makes me gag. I called the store where we got it, and they said we could bring it back. But, what kind of coffeemaker should we get instead?

How To Use the Cuisinart SS-1 Cup-O-Matic Coffee Maker

Making coffee is one of the easiest things in the world, and yet people are forever finding more and more complicated ways to do it. We live in an advanced coffee culture, where coffee is the most popular drink on the planet, and people get used to things like cappuccinos and lattes and start wondering how to do them at home. A trap some people fall into is buying the instant versions of coffee shop drinks, which inevitably taste inferior, instead of just making the drinks themselves at home.

The most important thing to realise about coffee-making is that, no matter what you might think, there is no variety of coffee-shop coffee that is really very difficult to make, despite the fancy names. An americano is just a normal coffee: coffee, hot water and milk on the side. A cappuccino is coffee, milk, and frothed milk, usually with chocolate sprinkles on top. A latte is milky coffee in a glass, and a mocha is the same thing with chocolate. A macchiato is coffee with frothed milk on top. Each fancy word basically means coffee, milk and froth in some combination (plus, occasionally, chocolate), with everything else being pretty much a matter of presentation.

The coffee in each drink is made by an espresso machine, and a basic espresso machine is really all you need to start making coffee at home: once you can put beans in the top and get espresso out the bottom, there arent really any other features you need. This simple fact means that theres not much difference between the cheapest and the most expensive coffee machines if you know what youre doing. To make your coffee stronger, you just put in more espresso; to make the different drinks, you use different quantities of the different ingredients.
