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.)

Amazing dumpster find! How long did it take you to fix?

@gronjo45 I'd say roughly an hour to take the cover off and find the broken valve, one week waiting for the replacement to ship, and half an hour to put it back in 😉
