I wish they'd show someone using it.

How big is it? Seems like it's about the size of a gallon jug. Maybe bigger. The hourglass shape, unlike a traditional filter, wastes a lot of fridge space.

Do I have to remove the filter to pour? That would be a deal-breaker for me. If not, is it spout directional, or can I pour at any angle?

Pouring from of a top-heavy hourglass could be awkward. Especially if it's weighted down with a filter.

It's smaller than in the video. We had to use an early prototype there to have the video ready in time. It's designed to fit nicely even in small hands. You do not have to remove the filter to pour, there is a spout that is hidden but runs up the side. I'll make sure we get some pictures of the pitcher from angles that you can see the spout / lid.

Main Q is Can it fit on a d00r-shelf like a 1/2 gal milk? That's probably the once critical size constraint, IMHO. Without it, you are limited where you can put it (as well as taking up extra space). This is something I personally check for every pitcher/flask i get.

I can't help but wonder why ya'll didn't show pouring from it.
