Sorry Not sure which Forum to put this in and seeing as Weber has lots of fans here, this might be it.

I just had the glass bean cellar delivered. Problem. I dont know how to open the cap. I know it is my stupidity! Can someone advice?

Thanks!
Justin

It should just pull off. Your talking about the lid for the vile right?

Yes the cap for the vial.
It seems hard to just pull off. Let me try again

Sorry yes.... I can pull it off. Thanks!
I feel like an idiot now. Hahaha

If it wasn't hard it wouldn't be airtight!

It is a Weber product and I thought it was probably over engineered..... must have some scarcest button with a secret handshake to open it!

I have coffee bean cellars from a different company as well as a grinder that require a bit of oomph to separate. I find that both are easier to separate by applying a twisting motion while lifting.

Of course, if your coffee bean cellars are made of glass, be careful no matter how you attempt to separate the cap from the container.

I found that some of my tubes are difficult to open, and some are quite easy. I tried to swap caps and that didn't really help, so I'm going to surmise that the production tolerances for the tubes is greater than for the caps and O-rings. Secondary evidence of that is that one my tubes was cracked. Sadly, Weber didn't offer a replacement, saying that damage, whether from me or other circumstances, is why they include three spares. I gotta be careful, having only two...

I had the resin one and after a while like about a yr. I normally just rinse with water and tiny soap after each use. I'm guessing the o rings dried up a bit or expanded. So I just lubricated a bit and now it's a bit easier to remove. But yes it comes off easier with twist and pull method

I find a few of mine can be very difficult if trying to twist the top off like a bottle cap or pull straight up. I've gotten in the habit if just using my thumb to just push up on one edge and seems to be the ticket.
