Is this carafe spill proof? Does it travel well?

We overfilled it and it spilled over once just do not overfill it. We never used it in traveling

We have used Oggi carafes for home and travel for many years, because it keeps a quart of coffee hot for 10 or more hours better than any other thermos we have tried. Since it is tall it can tip over when driving if not supported by some means. And if turned over on its side sometimes it will dribble a very small amount of liquid (teaspoon?) for a second or two, most times it will not leak anything at all. While this carafe is obviously designed for indoor use we use it in and outside because it WORKS at keeping liquid hot better than others. And it is possible to break the glass liner if you drop it but even when dropped the liner usually does not break. An all-steel or plastic thermos obviously would be almost unbreakable, but none we have tried keep liquid hot for more than a couple of hours-- the Oggi keep stuff hot all day long. HINT: It works best if one fills the Oggi with very hot water and let it preheat for 15-25 minutes while your coffee is brewing and then decant into the thermos. For only $10 this carafe is a great value -- and nothing I have tried will beat it for keeping my coffee hot all day.

It leaks. I bought these for my cafe and was impressed the first time. After 2 years of constant use it was time to replace them. The carafes are spill proof but they leak from the bottom. Not the same as they were 2 years ago.

A carafe can drip, I would recommend using a thermos for traveling. I also have the same problem as Yvonne, mine is leaking from the bottom. I've checked and there isn't a visible crack in the glass liner.

2 yes' and 2 no's. Interesting. I didn't know they made a "spill proof" lid for ANY coffee pot. However, I do not have any trouble with this one. And, as someone else said, you can sneak a cup while it is still brewing.

I see nothing about it that would resist spills and it's easy to tip over. However, you're normally going to want the top screwed on to keep the contents hot or cold, with the top on you can turn it any direction without a problem. I've thrown mine in a backpack many times.

Yes, I didn't find Contigo to be leak proof, although it is a good mug. I throw the Zojirushi in my bag and it hasn't leaked!

Yes, the unit is skid proof. It does not move when removing the carafe. It has rubber on the base.

You may need to line up the carafe better. The hole is very small so being off even a little bit can cause it to spill

I make a full 14 cup caraffe every morning and we have'nt had any problem with it spilling or dripping. There are 7 of us and no one has complained about that. Makes great coffee and i love the bold setting. Easy to clean and program. We love it!

It pretty much acts like a travel mug. The lid screws on and you can cap the hole you drink thru/put straw in. If that is open, then yes, some of the liquid will get out if spilled. Overall, I have been very happy with this item.

I've been pouring coffee out of this carafe for over 6 yrs and have never spilled a drop! Half turn to open and pour away...be sure to close to keep your brew warm. Enjoy.

It is pretty much spill proof. I've knocked mine over with no spills. If held upside down the liquid would come out.

Yes, take it to work!! We LOVE this Carafe for keeping coffee hot. No, it won't spill as long as the lid is on tight!

Yes, it's still leakproof as far as I can see. But we don't travel with it coz it's too small for a 3yr old :). We use it at home extensively and for water only. There are plenty of grooves in the cover for milk to curdle so I won't use it for milk.But I would think it will travel well, cos my toddler sometimes hold it upside down and shakes it and nothing comes out. I would put it into a separate clean bag on it's own tho, as the child's mouth will be drinking directly from the lid.

You can spill anything if you're not careful! I have not had a problem with spillage. Very happy with this coffee maker. I use it for travel... but I'm not a sloppy 'pourer'.

If you remove the plastic filter w/paper filter and pour into cup there is no spillage. With the filter unit on the carafe there IS spillage. Brews very hot coffee, so be careful.

My wife packs this carafe in her Tote daily. She fills it with hot filtered (ProPur) water to have at work. The carafe does not leak if tipped over as long as the cap 'push button' is not depressed. So, depending on how the carafe is packed, there is risk of spillage if the 'push button' is pressed down.

Yes. And none of mine (I have three) are completely spill proof. However, they keep things hot for HOURS!
