Default gerr: office coffee

the little bastard never behaves.
so 4the more science minded: what the heck is going on here, i tried rotating the pot towards or away from me laterally no difference.
never can tell when it goes into spill mode but sometimes it works fine.

I believe that it's designed to pour slowly so that people don't accidentally spill because they were hasty. One of the side effects is that it is not an accurate pour.

BTW I always spill too.

practice over the sink maybe? I know at restaurants the waitress sometimes can pour out of a pitcher about 3' above the cup!

Ooh! Or siphon it out with a little fish tank hose! Just don't let it touch your mouth, that's burn.

Better yet, make your own little pocket pump that you can leave in your pocket. Just pull out two ends of the hose. Make sure you put the correct end into the coffee of you'll just blow bubbles.
