Carafe drips or spills when pouring, even when using the spout correctly.

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

• Clean thoroughly:
  • Wash carafe and lid, paying special attention to the spout and lid channels.
• Inspect for damage:
  • Look for chips or cracks at the spout and lid.
• Pour slowly:
  • Pour at a moderate angle; very fast pouring can cause overflow at the lid.

If dripping continues and the carafe is damaged or warped, replace the carafe assembly with a compatible Mr. Coffee part.
