My drip maker shuts off. This is very frustrating, since no human should attempt the consumption of six cups of coffee within thirty minutes.
I’d like to get rid of this timer, but I can’t see anything obvious on the board. Is it most likely to be in that little processor at the top left of the coated side?
lmao some of these replies are exactly the sort of thing you’d expect from reddit in like, 2011. For reference, even mildly scalded coffee tastes better than that instant shite, and I’m not drinking ut for taste.
The fire hazard is no greater for removing the timer, there’s a bimetallic strip in there that will detach from circuit if the thing gets over 90ish degrees. It’ll just keep cycling like that. Microwaving coffee tastes, in my opinion, worse.
If it’s functioning correctly that is true, but eventually that part can break, and if each use is 4 times longer than the current setting it increases the chance it could break. Even if that mechanical component is devilishly simple. Both reheating and keeping it warm breaks down the sweet and acidic elements leaving the bitter taste. The difference is reheating a single cup will do this less (especially if you use a lower powered setting on your microwave) vs continuing to do this to the whole pot as you come back to it over and over. Your preference might just be your own desire for that acidic taste or caramelizing of other elements added to the brew for flavor. My suggestion would be to just make less more often, or get a hot plate and move the pot over to that instead.
Edit: I also meant to say that those mechanical temperature control parts are made much cheaper than in the past.
