If you're opening the filler while the coolant is cold, then there's not supposed to be coolant flowing through the upper hose. The thermostat doesn't even begin to open until ~180F.

If you're opening the filler while the coolant is at operating temp, you've probably got horrible burns and have more important things to address at the moment.
