It's quite hard to clean the lid, can I separate the silicon from the lid?

They are very easy to clean for me. I place them into the dishwasher all the time. No, the silicon are not removable.

I don't think you can separare the lid. I use the vineger(Warm water50% and white vineger 50%). use soft cloth to clean around the lid.

There is a raised circle centered on the lid. I think you could cut a pretty clean circle in the top with the right tool, but I am no expert on this. Just my opinion...

Just the lid can go in the dishwasher. Use warm soapy water and shake it up with the lid on then rinse it out.

Yes, the lid holder can be removed easily. I'm not sure why you would want to remove it, since it's quite handy, but if you have a reason, it's just a matter of unhooking it from the base.

I have two of these. In one, the lid is very loose and comes apart even when you are not trying. I had to dent the side a little to keep the pieces together. In the other, which is in my kitchen, the two pieces are firmly co-joined. I just wash it whenever I empty the container. It has never needed changing, but when it does, I think the filter can easily slip out by grabbing it in the center, folding and gently tugging.

You cannot take it apart to clean. It is a nightmare to clean and quite honestly it did not perform very well either. I do not recommend this product.

I don't see that possibility. The entire lid disassembles for cleaning. A small, easy-to-handle screw keeps the lid components together during operation, and unfastening the screw allows for each component to be washed thoroughly by hand or in the dishwasher. Of course, I wash the same screw by hand because it's tiny and I don't wish to lose it! I am completely satisfied with the performance and ease of cleaning with this spinner.

The clear part is plastic. The green is a bit like a cross between silicon and plastic the inside looks like silicon but the outside looks like plastic (I hope that makes sense). The lid and the bottom are both flexible so you can get them on and off easily to clean it. I expected it to be bigger but it's not too bad. Is this any help?

I had the same problem. You should be able to unscrew the lid. If not, use plyers. Then take a screwdriver amd just keep "stabbing" that flat part until you puncture it. All you need is a small hole. Hope that helps!

I just did it, but it was not obvious. The people who say to remove the silicone cover first are right. The key is that you have to realize that the silicone cover is one big piece -- I kept trying to find a seam to separate it. Instead, hold the case as if you were looking at the phone, and bend back the silicone cover at the corners (away from you). Do that on all 4 corners of the screen -- you'll need to stretch it a bit, but it will come off. Then, you'll just have the hard inner case, which is opened by popping the 2 tabs on the side and the 1 at the top.

Lid is a solid one-piece constructed out of rubber&plastic; where rubber is not removable. Cleaning the lid isn't very difficult. Hope this answer helps.

No. I could not remove it. Don't think you would really want to anyway. Might make it easier to clean but might make it harder to seal.

No, there is no seperate metal disk that usually found attached to the upper lid. But you can remove that triangle part on top of the lid to clean, and it's really easy to keep the whole thing clean in general. Hope this helps.

Great question... I have not cleaned it yet. It looks like it may be challenging to take apart, but I am not completely sure.

The two parts do not separate. It is a bit of a strange design... The handles blocks some of the safety instructions on the glass. This being said, I have no problem getting the coffee maker totally clean.

The only thing I can think of is perhaps you left the lid on. Take the plastic lid off. I have used this product with excellent results.

The lid and the mounting surface for the lid are not silicone. The rest of it is food grade silicone though.
