Carafe drips or leaks when pouring, even with the lid on.

Safety first: Allow the carafe to cool slightly before handling to avoid burns.

• Clean lid and spout: Disassemble the carafe lid if possible and wash all parts with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
• Inspect for cracks: Check the glass or stainless carafe body and spout for hairline cracks or chips. Replace if damaged.
• Check gasket: Inspect the lid gasket for wear or deformation. Replace if it no longer seals tightly.
• Use proper pour angle: Pour slowly with the carafe at a moderate angle to reduce spillage.
