Is it easy/possible to open the pour spout with one hand?

Yes - it is very easy to open with one hand. Simple flick of the thumb does it.

Yes. The spout on the shakers can be easily opened and closed with one hand. This is made possible by a slight curve in the spout that allows the user to press down on the bottom of the spout to open and press down on the top of the spout to close.

YES! But follow these steps. (1) Do NOT fill the water reservoir to the top line. (2) I tested the lid to see how far to open it to be able to pour - it's not much. Then I put a dot of red nail polish on the pot to mark the spot. (3) After opening the lid that SMALL bit, apply a little pressure to the edge of the lid closest to the handle. This creates a bigger opening for pouring. (4) Pour SLOWLY and you'll have minimal if any drips. I always tighten the lid after every pour, and the coffee stays hot longer than any other carafe I've ever used. I haven't found another front-load coffee maker, so for me it's worth the extra effort. Good luck! YES! But follow these steps. (1) Do NOT fill the water reservoir to the top line.

There is a comparison chart of several pourers online and I believe you will find it useful. Here is the link: www.pouro.netI found a great pourer there called Amazing Pourer that can be opened or closed with a simple twist. I tried it and they are the best for me.

I know it's difficult you twist the top half grab it by the spout and twist it should open

There is a small lid (the pour lid) you can open or you can remove the entire lid (not recommended) but you risk splatter. I hope this helps.

The shape of the pot is traditional and might be perceived as inefficient for use since you can't pour out all of the liquid without putting a finger on the lid to keep it from falling into your cup. So, I'm not sure if the short spout is the problem, but it definitely requires two hands to pour. Some might think that is part of the charm of the pot though. I rather like it. It does force you to focus on your actions and be mindful as you pour.

You don't need to unscrew the top, just open the latch and the top pops open. The spout is a good size and easy to drink from. Best travel mug I ever owned. I use mine every day.

Yes I can.Their is a little piece of the white cap right in front of the red spout that will break off .Use a small screw driver so you don't break a nail.

No lefthanders here. You would have to turn the handle with your right hand. It is relatively easy to turn - depends on kind of can that needs opening.

You can do it with one hand but it is a very cheaply made product that likely won't hold up long. We are very disappointed with the cheapness of the materials as they are a very lightweight plastic.

Well - the bottle tends to spin with the motion of the opener. You would need some way to secure the bottle so it wouldn't spin. If you did that, it could be done with one hand.

Slightly twist the circular part below the spout counter-clockwise. Sometimes it opens easily and sometimes it doesn't.

Oh no, you just twist left or right and the pouring hole appears. My wife had me buy a second one.

Yes, very easy open. At first I struggled with closing the lid because I didn't understand that I have to pull the lever with my thumb for opening AND closing! FYI, I have crippled hands from severe rheumatoid arthritis. But I still can do it.

Not difficult at all! If you are looking at the picture, the water reservoir section opens to the right. The other main top part opens backwards like a lid. You pop out the coffee basket (easy) and then the entire top silver part that is showing above the display comes right out.

You press in two tabs on either side of the spout and the top half of the black plastic section lifts open, I then pull up the draw tube which has a top plastic section almost the size of a golf ball and lift it up. I rarely fully extract the tube. I just pour my coffee in, drop the tube assembly back down and close the top. I use it every day. It is a great value in my opinion. This is my second unit in over 10 years of constant use.

This may work, but I would strongly suggest trying the one with the twist open/close feature to be able to close after use. It is called the "Amazing Pourer" and we really like it. here's their link Pouro Plastic Liquor Pour Spout 12 Pk - Twist Open and Closed
