Pouring coffee
-
If your carafe can't fill a cup in less than three seconds from three feet away without spilling coffee everywhere, then the person who designed the carafe sucks at their job and should consider a different line of work.
I'm looking at you, Keurig. This design sucks.
You've made something that takes forever to pour simply because your design doesn't allow for the free flow of caffeinated goodness. Why did you chose to squeeze everything through such a tiny hole? Are you trying to make us more mindful of our pouring? Perhaps the k-cup users were complaining that the pot drinkers were getting their cup of joe too fast and it wasn't fair? Come on, give us something more functional than stylish! I'm tired of having to clean up spilled coffee because EVERYBODY who has tried to pour a cup from this travesty of design has made a mess.Never discount the possibility that you might live through it.

@BicycleBuck my Mr. Coffee one does the same thing. I just push the tab on the lid so it's no longer resting on the glass rim and that let's a fast pour with no spill. It's really the lid that usually screws things up. My pot has the spout molded into the glass though so that might be why it works.

@BicycleBuck
simple fix, just put the coffee in the cup add hot water from your kettle add sugar and milk (if req) then stir and drink2014 Chery J3 - (18/7/20) meh.

Keurig makes a coffeemaker with… a pot?

@MasterMario That's what I used to have to do with our old Krups coffee maker. That thing was awesome otherwise though, it lasted like 8 or 9 years. I'm drawing a blank on our current brand of coffee maker. It makes 14 cups a pot, has an excellent carafe design that rarely spills, a bold setting that makes tasty coffee ... And reliably breaks every 14 months
But we like it so much we're on our 3rd one.

Are you hurling your coffee into your cup? I think I see the problem here.

You'd think that opening the lid a bit would help, but it doesn't. Keurig went and did this:

It was a surprise to me too. My sister-in-law bought one for my in-laws. They loved it so much that they brought one to us during their last visit. It does both a pot and k-cups.

At least it's reliable....

@BicycleBuck Good rule for carafe design. Have you seen the videos of Chinese tea pot testing?
My $15 walmart coffee maker has served me well since 2018. I wired over the broken switch a few years ago so it just turns on and off by {un}plugging it. I can set my mug in the sink, hold the carafe at about face height, and do a slow pour from about 4'. I do this to get it to drinking temperature quicker. It's in the sink for this because it splashes a little.

I ain't got time to gently pour a cup. I'm slinging coffee like I'm working in a diner.

@BicycleBuck did the person who designed this even drink coffee?

@BicycleBuck Mocca master laughs at your pitiful carafe.
Seriously though this is the best coffee maker I've ever owned. Copper heating element makes all difference. -
@BicycleBuck Why are you filling your cup from 3' away?

@BicycleBuck
I will say my Mr. Coffee pot irritates the hell out of me because about half the time it drips while I'm pouring my cup. Seems to work better when I pour faster...so I kinda see where you're going with that.I could probably invest a little more in my coffee maker than the....nothing, I think?...I paid for this one. I don't know where it came from but I've had it for almost twenty years...and only actually used it for the past two years.
-
@BicycleBuck it's fine, trust me.
-
@BicycleBuck If I was smart, I'd have another one on hand right now.
If I was really smart, I''d go buy another Krups instead.

Ours is not to reason why...merely to point and giggle.

@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly your not a fan then?

As someone who has taken straight from the bean for nearly twenty years...no. I'm not a fan.And that carafe shit can take a flying fuck at a rolling donut too.

Surprisingly, I do remember one video about the tea pots. Heat water. Pour. Evaluate how smooth it pours. Surprisingly entertaining!
Your pouring method is EXACTLY how every coffee pot should pour. Able to hit the cup from four feet.

It's more about the speed than the distance. It irritates me when my cup can't be filled in less than 2.5 seconds. I must have been a pitstop fuel man in my previous life.
