" ...  I had absolutely no trouble putting water in the pot without spilling a drop the trick to doing that is to put your thumb on the back of the plastic lid and open it it will pour right in without spilling a drop I do the same thing when I pour a cup of coffee never spill a drop.  ...  "

" ...  But real killer is ridiculous water gauge.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Second, after doing a couple of scientific experiments (i.e., pouring and looking) I can confidently say that the amount of water you put in the glass carafe is the same amount as marked on the inside of the maker, that is, if you fill the carafe to the 8 cup line and pour the water into the maker, the water inside will be at the 8 cup level, exactly.  ...  "
