How Do You Disassemble The Cuisinart Dcc-1150 Lid For Cleaning?
Our old Cuisinarts had lids that you could take apart to easily clean the ball inside. This one appears to be threaded together, but we can't get it to unscrew. Is there a trick to it? It's got enough build-up inside to cause the pot to overflow when brewing. Thanks!

I had the same problem. After warming the plastic with warm water the lower cylindrical portion pops off the lid by carefully bending it like taking the lid off a margarine tub (it won't come all the way off immediately, but will separate a little allowing you to work the rest off), revealing the post on the bottom of the ball valve. It appears that post sits within a hole beneath it in the lower, previously removed part that may be supposed to raise the ball valve under circumstances I couldn't figure out (no obvious lever beneath, but there is a gasket surrounding the hole. Increased air pressure from temperature?). I also couldn't figure out how to disassemble the lower cylindrical portion that has another pour valve within it (that seemed to work fine). Deciding my options were fix/figure out the lid or buy a new one at $8 + $6 shipping, I chose to permanently alter the lid by heat-fusing the tip of the plastic post to the nearby plastic housing around it (in the upper part of the lid), thus keeping it always open. Lacking a hot glue gun, I heated a nail in a pair of pliers over a gas burner and repeatedly melted the post to the surrounding plastic. Done.
