Pulled a ~ 600 € DeLonghi coffee maker out of the dumpster and invested about 50 € in spare parts (water tank, grounds container, and a new magnet valve). Seems like I have a new coffee machine now (storage.googleapis.com)

(It would have gone even faster and without a puddle on the kitchen counter if I had put in the gaskets from the start. 🤦 Ah well.)

It's amazing what a little curiosity can do. Most would consider the machine dead. A friend also had a similar coffee maker that stopped working and just decided to pop the cover off to see if there was anything obvious. A quick replacement of a deteriorated hose and they were back up and running when it otherwise would've ended up in the landfill.
