Does the spigot drain the pot or is there undispensed coffee remaining, and if so, how much?

After it quits dispensing, while sitting level, there is approximately 12 ozs. left in the urn. You can tilt it to get most of that, but its better to just dump it!

Thanks for the info. Some pots must be tipped for the last few hot cups which can cause accidents, spills and burnsso my question really is how much is left in this pot when it stops dispensing? thanks again. m

As in most coffee pots like this, the spigot does not go completely to the bottom - but about 1/2" to 3/4" up from the bottom. Most folks have simply learned to lean the pot forward and use the spigot to drain all of the coffee.

I don't think it drains completely . Needs to be tipped to get the last drop.

I use the coffee pot to fill with water. It is marked up on the side in white up to 12 cups.

I believe that the coffee pot is defective. The last measure of coffee is not deposited into the pot instead, is dribbled onto the platform causing a significant puddle.

There is a spigot as shown in the picture, but I honestly don't think it would be a very "controlled" pour so I haven't used it. I just pushed it in tight so that the barrel doesn't leak. Sorry that I'm not absolutely certain. Mine is more of a conversation piece.

Paula, I don't know how. I got rid of mine about a year ago. After 2 months coffee would run out while brewing. They sent me a 2nd one for several dollars. Two months later coffee would run out during brewing. To stop coffee from running out I put a rubber band on the lever where the coffee comes out. I used that for a year and it worked fine before it started to take several partial brews to fill the pot.

There is a stop valve that is engaged when the coffee pot is not in place. Perhaps that valve is not properly pushed up when you put the coffee pot in its spot.

Yes, just put in less coffee and less water, but you only get about 4 full cups when you do an entire pot.

You'd just need to reduce the amount of water and ground coffee. I've made partial pots with no issues.

To my knowledge there is none. Mine has worked great, however now when I brew a pot either auto brew or manually some water remains in the coffee maker. Out of 10 cups 2 will stay in the machine. This could be due to user error as my wife has poured hot water into the machine a few times. It might just be worth the extra $45 to go for a new one.

I'm surmising that you are concerned with waste of precious beans. Fear not. The exit end of the grinding mechanism is the last part of the unit that the coffee bean touches; the grind falls directly into the filter or canister. There is no chute or funnel to retain ground bean. There naturally will be grind left in the business part of the burrs when it shuts off, but that is not wasted, it just flows out at the beginning of the next grind.Now, if you are inquiring as to the capacity of the canister which is shown in the photograph, that exceeds one cup. The weight of the grounds which it contains, I cannot tell you. Considerably less than can be put into the top hopper, that is for certain.

There isn't a plug or hole in the bottom of the pot, but excess water drains into the built-in saucer.

Not to my knowledge. I would put less water for a smaller amount of coffee. This coffee maker lasted less then six months. I have given up on Mr.Coffee makers

When you make the last cup of coffee shut it off, and drain out whatever water there's in the container, by not letting the water boil for the next cup it will not be in the tubes,if further questions you're free to write me, good luck

Just one at the bottom. Drains right into the coffee pot or insulated carafe, whatever you put under it.

There is some ground coffee left in the spout (if you are worried about one type of ground mixing with the next). This is the best grinder I have owned, as it can freshly grind one shot at a time for the espresso machine.

Sounds like a defect....if it is coffee that is leaking out, there is a crack somewhere in the pot. If it was steam, I would suggest vegetable oiling the screwing part. Also there is the possibility you might be using too much coffee. As you put coffee in the hopper, tamp it down with the spoon after each addition and fill it just below the rim. But to be honest, it sounds like it is defective.

No. The water flows through the gold mesh on the sides with no issues. You dump the grounds in the trash after you are done brewing.
