brute force (and then keep the bubble so you don't have to do it with the next bottle)

It's a crap design isn't it. I have never managed to detach the cup and just tip it in.
I like "penis small and mighty". Could make one's under-endowed partner feel better about themselves.

There's a knack to it, you have to squeeze the clear plastic dispenser so that it becomes kind of oval shape and then pull it off. You can't unscrew the lid before you take it off as its impossible to get off the lid then. Hope that makes sense!

I also thought the title said penis! Bit disappointed now.

As I was scrolling past I read your thread title as 'penis small and mighty'

I know nothing about persil

I have never had this problem. The damn things litter my house as my 2 yr old loves them. They just fall off round here.

Mine is still stuck on the top. It won't come off.
I thought it was just me

I just hand it to DP (after having a ten minute scrap with the bottle). He gets it off first try. I'm assuming, as with jar kids, its because I loosened it for him :D.

Oh god the surf one is the same too, drives me crazy

Do unscrew before you try and take it apart? That might be the problem.

I just squeeze it slightly and pull it off.

I keep the cup separate one I have taken it off the first time.

Never had a 'problem' with it.

I always struggle with that!

Oh god this really annoys me too! Brute strength is the answer, but it's definitely a design fault

I just pull it off. Don't know what my secret is.

Pliers, brute force and ignorance!

If you find out how to do it, I'd love to know. Drives me bonkers!!!!!

Is there a secret to getting cup from lid. I just can't do it so poured it straight into machine but it is so annoying.
