Anyone know how to get the bean grinding container -- the bit with the blade -- to come loose for cleaning? Once in a while it will just lift out, but more usually no matter how I fiddle & turn & push or pull, it stays put. (I have the machine but not the instruction booklet.)

You can find the owners manual on Cuisinart's webpage. Here's a link to get you started.
I would have gave you the link to the users guide but I don't know which model you have. I have the model DGB-600BC myself and enjoy it except for the daily cleanup of all the parts. The part on mine that that you put the beans in comes out without a fuss, but I don't think the blade is meant to detach from it.
I also noticed that after brewing coffee that under the grinder shute acumilates some coffee where its not supposed to be. That may be the reason for that bottom part sticking. I wipe the interior down especially under the shute.
I also noticed that the caraf really doesn't keep the coffee hot for as long as they advertised.
When this one dies I'll go back to grind a batch and brew a pot along with a warming plate.
Hopes this helps, sorry for the rant,
Dean
