Is it possible to unscrew the screen from the plunger for cleaning? Thanks!

The plunger rod unscrews from the bottom plate so that you end up with the plunger/cap, and the three parts to the screen assembly - the bottom plate, the screen, and the spring-rim plate that holds the screen shape. They're all easy to disassemble, clean, and reassemble.But since I'm a human male, I figure, why bother? They'll just get dirty again. So just I rinse off most of the grounds and keep using it.

You will use the keypad to remove it. Go home and display senser. Put the I'd to do so.

I would recommend removing the current one, clean your screen with a soft cloth and screen cleaner. let dry and then install the BoxWave. I love mine, I clean it every once in awhile. great product.

I'm not sure you can clean the screen. I've never done it. Let me know if it's possible.

I have never tried to remove the screen. If you do would be interested how and why.

Apparently not. For the first few uses, cleaning was a cinch. Since then, without any change in my recipe, the screens have become almost impossible to clean and have torn.

It MIGHT be stuck. Hold the rod with pliers and unscrew the plate on the end. It should come apart with hand pressure, but that is a big variable. I clean mine by 1) pulling out the screen assembly 2) dumping/rinsing out the grounds (swirl with 1/2 pot of water & toss on garden) 3) add 1 drop of detergent, insert the screen assembly & plunge vigorously 'till it foams out the spout 4) dump it out, dissassemble the screen carrier, rinse everything & set inverted on a towel to dry. Detrgent breaks up the oils, plunging blows off 99% of the coffee chunks off the screen.

I've tried to remove it but without luck. So ive had to clean it with a sponge. Not as efficient.

I haven't fully disassembled mine, but have found the movement range of the plunger sufficient to thoroughly clean it. If you put milk in your tea/coffee, you might want to soak it, just to be sure.

There is a button on the top and side pops open - remove and clear, I usually wipe my down once a week with a damp paper towel. There is also a reset rod at the back. Just be sure and read the instructions - they also tell you how to deep clean. I have another smaller one still working for over 10 years old.

Yes, but I always clean the screen part right away with soap and water using the brush they provided. The other parts can be cleaned later.

No. Just remove the screen in the back to get the dust out or gently vacuum

I had the same problem. Just remove the screen altogether. I can't remember if I needed to tear it down with a screw driver or not, but now flows great.

I wouldn't try it. Gentle is a relative term. It's still a solvent and therefore might etch some plastics or remove some coatings.Most screen manufacturers recommend cleaning with a cloth moistened with plain tap water, possibly with a very small quantity (e.g. one drop per cup) of dish-washing detergent.

Hello. You can clean the case with disinfectant wipes, but after you do that take a cloth or tissue and wipe off any wet residue from the screen area so that it is dry and responsive to touch. Thank you

Not that I am aware of. I think it is pressed in. I have tried a couple of times to remove it to see if it was possible, and I was not successful......

Yes, the screen can be removed. Just keep in mind that it comes in four sections so once it's assembled it can't really be "folded" without disassembly.
