☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!

Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

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 😁☕

(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.)

What do you do for a living and how do you know how to fix coffee makers?

@workerONE Officially, I'm a computer scientist 😉 But over the years, I've fiddled around with enough electronics and mechanical engineering as well that I'm overall pretty good at fixing stuff 🤷

Just remember, if she doesn't find you handsome at least she finds you handy.
