Hmm, I have Capresso Infinity Burr Grinder #560, and I accidentally placed the upper burr back in upside down. Now it is stuck. I do not see the "black section with a long slot" around the blade

Yes! I had the same issue with putting the burr in upside down and then twisting it an effectively "locking" it in there incorrectly. I tried the "knife" solution that worked for some people here, but it was placing the bean container back on and twisting counter clockwise that did the trick!
So glad I found this thread and didn't give up trying to fix my burr grinder (which we love).
Thanks to jaybayca!
I've owned my grinder for years and never had this problem until this morning. This solution worked for me too. Thanks!
So happy I found this thread! Thank you all for sharing your wisdom!!!
I've posted this in a few other places on this site (there are many ways to ask the same question), but try putting the clear bean container back on and untwisting as if to unlock it -- the problem isn't just that we put the upper burr in upside down, but then we locked it into place with the bean container.

Thank you!!
Thank you! I didn't understand the butter knife instructions, either, but putting the container in and twisting CCW worked. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
