Have owned this product over 5 months, and have constantly tried to find the 'secret' to drip-free pouring. It seems to pour fine IF one is satisfied with merely dribbling the coffee out of the pot. Any pour at a normal rate causes coffee to dribble down the outside of the pot and drip from the bottom of the pot onto the counter, floor, table top, etc. Am extremely disappointed with the 'pour' design and hope B&D will develop a better carafe to replace this one.
