I have used hundreds of these lids. Haven't tried to reuse them but don't see why it wouldn't work. What can go wrong? Good luck.

Yes I have and it's not a good idea unless you want coffee grounds in your coffee and plastic from the lid. I've tried to cover the hole and sometimes that works. I've also reused the lid a few times in the same morning but again the same result as above. To me it's just easier to use a new lid.

I reuse them usually 3 or so times before they crack. You just have to line the punched hole up when u reuse. I used to mark it with the ^ that you can see above the cup when inserted into the machine but don't need to do it anymore cause I can line it up without it. What I do is refill my cleaned and dried out cups and put a fresh lid on them to store multiples at once then as I go to bre I pop the unused lid off and replace it lined up correctly with the used lid. After about 3 uses the heat makes the plastic do brittle that it cracks the inner circle and allows water and some grounds out. A box of 100 lids has lasted me about 6 months using this method. Hope thst helps.

Yes, I've reused the lids and the cups. I like them better than the little cups you can buy in the grocery stores.If the cup starts to show a crack I throw it away and get another. The lids fit the K-cups you buy already filled too. So you can use them over too. :-)

I have used this same size jars for three years and I am using the same lids. They seal tight with a solid loud pop each use. I do not plan to buy replacement lids anytime soon. I love these jars!

There is a 53mm replacement screw on cap available through amazon. Its $5.20 with free shipping. The reusable caps i purchased from amazon only worked by pressing onto the lid. The screw cap part would not fit on my water bottle, which i also purchased from walmart.

So far... I have not had this problem with my (4) keepers. When I just looked at one of mine, I noticed that there is a groove in the seal that must fit OVER an inner "ridge" in the top of the lid. It kind of 'snaps' onto that ridge when it is on right. You may not be getting the groove on the ridge properly. If that does not correct the problem, then you may want to return it for a new one. I have used one of mine for almost 2 years and have had no problems.

The caps are plastic, and require use of a gasket to make a tight seal - and the gasket is also plastic. Mine nearly immediately went bad upon contact with olive oil in the bottle. I was able to order replacement gaskets through Amazon. Very good question about the caps: I don't know. But on re-examining one of my bottles just now, I would guess that lifetime maintainability by replacing the caps was never considered in the design. You would need pliers, good manual dexterity, and great luck not to shatter the bottle. So in short, this is an expensive bottle that's generally not intended for long life. I hope this helps.

I also have the same question. One of the hinged lids broke off this morning while filling. It had been only opened 3 times, 2 times to load and once to use. How do we get replacements

Hi Sam, Yes this does come with a cap. However, at some point I would pickup replacement lids. You never know when you might misplace one.

The top cover is not removable the tool is to remove the screw caps on the top. The tool is a multipurpose tool than can be used to open bucket lids as well.

Depends on the vendor... I bought one directly from Bodum and has no extra lid, but I bought another from "The Storage Store" (through amazon) and had both lids. Is matter of lucky I think... :D

Did anyone find lids that worked for these? They are useless to me without luds, but maybe perfect with lids.

Definitely!! These lids aren't the easiest to remove as they are tightly sealed (which is what you want) but you can certainly put them back on again with some force to make sure they are completely sealed.

Were you ever able to get the lid off? I had to throw mine out (don't know what brand) and I am looking for one that will not have that problem. NB

I have used these lids for several months now and they work just fine. Do not try to use lid more than once or you will have grounds get through. You may have to watch to make sure when putting than on that it is evenly and completely snapped in place. I wash out my pods and rinse the filter gently then let dry for 24-48 hours before refilling them and inserting lid. Depending on the quality of the pods filter, one can reused pod 3-5 times before the filter becomes too week. Some pods are tighter than others and may crack preventing multiple use. If you get filterless pods as in cider or some use instant coffee methods, you can also buy insertable filters from this company too. Hope this helps!

If you are talking about installation I always push the bottom part into the hole then push the top cap down. For removal I have pretty much always had to pry the head up which oftentimes just broke the clip. I just always used new clips. I rarely reuse one.

The lids are twist tops. some of the ingredients may be wedged just gonna take some elbow grease. If it is salt crystals try soaking it in warm water for an hour or so.. contents will be ruined, but at least you got the cap off make sure it is thoroughly dried before replacing the cover.

You can reuse all lids over and over until the rubber wears out or they won't seal anymore with 1 exception, the lids that you used to pressure can with cannot be used to pressure can again.But you can use them for vacuum sealing.Once I've opened a jar that has been pressure canned I immediately take a knife and put a X or check mark on it, that away I know I can't use it again to pressure can but it's okay to use for vacuum sealing over and over.Hope this helps, good luck and GOD BLESS.rachelkeys
