I just received mine today. Does the top just pull off or does it screw off? I don't want to break it before I ever get to use it.

The top unscrews. It is somewhat difficult to get a off because of the design. I found it easier on the hand to take a dish towel and protect my hand while getting it started. Also, a lesson I learned the hard way is that these coffee pots are not supposed to be soaked, which of course is what I did with my first one (I have two of them) to get the label off. Good luck.

My Copco Chloe 1 Qt Thermas did not last long. The insides broke into pieces the week after the return period expired. Buyer beware.

The whole top comes off. That said, part of that top is hinged so you can open and drink. Keeps things very hot or cold.

That's odd. Mine comes off almost too easily! I just lift it off the top. Sounds like you got a fit that's not within specs!

for my grill it just pulls out of the top itself. Best to check yours out first.

I read the previous answers but couldn't figure out to open it. My husband did. Wish I could post a photo showing it off/open & on/closed. The entire top that flares out (a darker plastic piece) comes off. Use your thumbs to push it up & off. Don't use a tool like I did! I broke off a small chunk trying to pry it open.

Yes the top comes off. When you receive the house the top is packed upside down in the bottom section for shipping it just snaps together.

I popped off the top piece of the plastic cover. The two pieces are just snapped together, and you do not really need the top one at all. Works like a charm.

Mine just pulls off, no twisting or clicking or anything, wondering if you bought the same kind, other brands may not have the exact size heads where they fit on the unit

Mine pops on and off very easily, both the top and the bottom. I don't think I unscrew it, I just pull it out by putting my thumb in the spout area.

Only the top screws off. BTW, I ordered two of them and they were both bent because of other things that were thrown into the box with them. I sent them back and bought two at Fred Meyer...FYI.

I think there is a rubber piece on the top. Pull that back and it might be in there. Haven't used mine in a while.

not sure mine broke , only using the top part for now. Would not buy it again.

That's a funny question, the rubber coated (?) top pieces come off. I'd use a thin piece of plastic (guitar pick worked for me) to pry it up. Make sure the screws aren't fastened in the sides. You aren't alone, the manual wasn't helpful in this at all.

No, the top part comes off, I ended up returning it, it wasn't sturdy and came damaged at multiple places. They offer to replace it but I couldn't wait.

It comes off easily. It will come off if you lift it by the top when full. It has worked well for us - except when I forget to not pick it up by the top when full!

It won't break. Just open it and wiggle it up and it should come off. It might be a little stuff at first but it will get looser

You unscrew the whole top; it will come off in two pieces. Place the blade between the pieces and screw it back together. It is quite easy to do. Hope this helps!
