Removing the auto-off timer from my coffee machine (infosec.pub)

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.

I bought a drip coffee maker... there is zero timer, it will never shit off unless I manually toggle it off or unplug it. this is a 6 month old coffee maker.

bought SPECIFICALLY because it had ZERO 'features'.

Okay. Nothing about my comment was supposed to imply that it's not possible. My comment was reminding OP that there is probably a reason why his doesn't do that, and that reason is probably informed by the quality of the parts used to make his coffee brewer in particular. I'm not saying it's impossible to make them that way. The manufacturer chose not to do it, and that alone should make you wonder what they changed because of that decision.

ah, I should have cottoned on in my first reply. the reason it switches off is EU regulation, not for any safety reasons. The machine otherwise looks exactly the same as any kther coffee maker in the world.
