not to revive an old thread but your tip about un-screwing the filter to get it off was a lifesaver. i had the classic can't get the filter off until i came across your thread and tried it and it came right off. i, like alot off other people didn't realise that's how you do it. a million thank's for a great tip....

I almost felt your pain today doing mine filter. I thought it best to stop and research it on this forum and then i ran into kfish's eloquent tip....
