So I purchased this aswell, but what exactly does the top lid do. Why does it even come off?

I'm not quit sure, but I think that part is used to clean the top more easily. Though it can come off, it's still sealed well and keep water warm.

I purchased this for a friend and never saw the item but I own two others that don't have a flip lid. The tops on mine are one piece that unscrew. Perhaps it is to make travel drinking easier while driving or for cleaning?

Ha! I have no idea. I don't bother with the top lid thing because I never figured it out! I still love it though because it really keeps my coffee warm for hours.

The bin lid is attached to the piece that slides off the top. The bin lid piece comes off so you can put your trash bag over the sides and it holds the trash bag in place. If it is not backed up against something the whole top piece flips off when the lid opens all the way. Could probably be fixed with a smaller flip top piece or a chain to keep it from opening past 90 degrees. It didn't make sense to me either until I saw it in action.

You have to pull it off, but it's not hard. The lid stays on securely, though, and wouldn't come off without a little help (pulling).

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

No, the lid come off easily without removing the entire unit from the base. Works great!

We have not had a problem with the lid. This is our second one, the first we had over 6 years and just wanted an 'upgrade' with the basket style. Perhaps the inserted basket to catch the fall off is not properly installed. If the lid is not closing, that sounds like a manufacturing defect and possibly could be contained to only a few units. We like it because of the large capacity and overall functions. I shopped for a capable product and ended up with T-Fal again. For us, it by far is the best buy for what we use it for. Good Luck

It is threaded on. Turn it counterclockwise, as if you were opening a soda bottle, and the top will come right off.

The top lid pops off from the bottom part holding the filter -- ours was so loose it kept falling out -- so we had to bend it out a little to hold in the filter. Just use a screwdriver or something -- should come right out. Hope this helps.

It is a screw-off lid but is very difficult the first time. I used an "ice pick" and put it through the slots and it helped me free the bond and unscrew the top. You can use a screwdriver or any kitchen tool (spoon?) that can fit through the slot. After that first time, it is easier to work.

What I did was measure the opening on the lid, mine fell within the range of this top. Just make sure you order whichever top is within the size of your lid opening. I did have to use the metal ring that comes with it to hold it on, but I've not been sorry I ordered it.

Yes the lid comes off. The edges are all smooth and don't stick out. The screen itself is slightly below a plastic lip, but I don't think would impede anything.

it stays on. Their is no problem with the top falling off. It is just for your convinience to have it against a wall if you want the opening lid to lay against the wall when you leave it open.

Keep turning the lid counter clockwise and it will come off. It has a little resistance to show when in the open to drink position. You just turn past it and the lid comes odd.

There is a clip at the back of the lid. Press down and lift the lid and it comes odd. Do the reverse to put lid back on.

Not sure why it says that. The lid lifts up but the lid frame comes off . The lid is attached to the outer frame . Hope this makes sense

Its totally OK! I was confused at first. You lift off the container and unscrew the round piece that protrudes from the container. Mine was screwed on really tight so it took a few tries before I got it off.

There is a sliding latch. Push it towards the center. Then twist the lid and lift off.
