I have found that wiping a small amount of plumbers silicone grease on the lip of pour stops my problem with the coffee dribbles

I’m sure that Mr. Coffee, Krups, Sunbeam, Black and Decker, Hamilton Beach, etc. have all heard this complaint untold numbers of times. My guess is that compact design is why they don’t use a carafe similar to Bunn. I still think that when planning to sell many thousands, if not millions, of machines, they could find an engineer who could overcome this problem.

I have taken a page from my chemistry lab days. Use some form of stirrer - stick form- insert it into the center of the coffee cup or urn opening and hold it upright, and then place the pour spout of the coffee carafe against it and pour - the liquid travels down the upright stirrer, and does not go to the outside of the carafe and down the side. When I fill the thermos urn, I use the step of the pump as the upright member.
