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)

I think they make too much money repairing complex coffee machines to make it difficult

Also unlike phones they don't need to make them small as possible and able to survive being carried all day, so don't have those reasons for making things tight and sealed
