    My housing is plastic, and was just held on by clips holding the outer part to the base, I gently pried the housing away and lifted the housing off. It’s a Capresso model 560

    Mine is as well. I tried digging the “rubber washers” out but it was only scratching plastic.

    There are 5 areas you can slide a slim flathead into and gently wiggle to get the casing to slide out from the base. Be firm yet gentle.
