Do you have trouble closing the lid on your Breville?

No, I have never had any problem closing the lid on my Breville tea kettle, so there is not much I can contribute to a discussion about it.

As a matter of fact I did. Opening became increasingly hit and miss. Eventually I just filled through the spout.

I put both of my thumbs under the little red lever located right above the clock and "Bella" while placing my index fingers along the top edges of the coffee maker, and it opens with slight pressure. It locks rather securely so it DOES take a little more pressure than most other coffee makers I've had. Good luck, and I hope this helps even a little.

Yes, I've done it several times. It's a tight squeeze to get the lid on but it fits.

That is normal, it is to help break the seal so you can remove the lid. It would really be harder to remove the lid if that wasn't there. I love my Presto and the great coffee it makes!

You need to twist it off. it is kind of tricky, but just be patient and hold the bottom part and twist the lid. if you look at the lid, you can see there is a part that locks on the bottom part.

I've gotten used to opening/closing. There are little marks to guide you, but I don't know why they had to make it so difficult :). I like this for my morning coffee (I take it too Starbucks and they warm and fill it) but it did take a little getting used to.

I just push the bigsby handle down and around a bit on the guitar body so it is in a somewhat upside-down position and the lid closes just fine. Does not affect the bigsby or guitar in any way.

I've had 2 of these. My newest one, the lid is definitely tighter, but still a one handed operation. If it doesn't get easier quickly, I'd get a different one. Is the seal glued on properly? Maybe it slipped??

Please warn those that are opening the lid to start at the middle and work to the ends, they are difficult to open sometimes and could cause a mess if you don't have a good hold on them.

I haven't had that problem but this is how I get it closed. First, every few uses I use olive oil around only the angled edge of the pot that contacts the lid (as per the manual) I only use a little oil, almost wiping it all away. I loosen all of the wing nuts and then set the lid on the pot looking at how much space is between the two all the way around leveling this out as much as you can (it's never perfect). Then I flip up all the wing nuts into their notches. I turn one only until it contacts the lid, not pushing the lid down yet. Then I do the one directly across from it continuing like this until all are making contact, always going across from the last one I tightened. Then I start over with one tightening it most of the way, then the one across from it and so on. Basically I keep tightening across the lid and around until they are finger tight. Now, when my husband helps me can I always have seal failures and problems because he is strong and thinks everything needs to be tightened as tight as he can get get them and not so with the lid just hand tight by me and I am not strong. Now, if the canner is getting up to pressure I personally wouldn't worry about it. Mine may have a little bubble or sputter here and there and I don't notice it if it comes up to pressure. Hope this helps, it sounds very complicated when I typed it out but it isn't really when I do it just a system I follow.

Good question, although I've never had that problem. I've always been able to hold the jar just fine and use the opener to open the lid without any problem, because the opener is so efficient (and believe me, I have no strength in my hands). However, if I did have that problem, I would probably use a towel that had some roughness to it to get a good grip on the jar without it slipping out of my hand. Good luck!!

Yes the lid closes. Then you just lift up and lock in place to retrieve drinks I love it it's awesome!! Also has drain plug

Not so much. There's a little black button you push to the side which must be held there as you open the lid.

The lid on my unit fits perfectly fine and I have never had problems with it. You can disconnect the lid by the rear hinge for easier cleaning and filling.

Oh no, I have never experienced that issue. I typically just sort of jiggle the top when removing it.

its been a while since i had this but i believe it should just twist/pull/pop right off. i dont remember the lid being an issue for me.

i never encountered this problem. Mine is easily removed by pulling up from the cup component either by grabbing the juicer apparatus or by removing it and pulling on the lid component. It's not a complicated operation.
