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.

you and me are different, and that's okay

I appreciate good coffee. I don't care enough to have it on a work day when I just want something hot enough that I don't drink it all immediately and with some caffeine in it because I have a severe caffeine addiction that's developed over years and years that I haven't addressed yet

I will rebrew coffee grounds in my single cup maker because I am that lazy and do not give a fuck about it being shit weak tea that it produces on the third rebrew. my recent upgrade was to using a regular drip machine again and I chose to lower the bean amount to near piss water levels to compensate for the fact that I was previously getting less and less caffeine with each brew whereas now it's just equalized across all cups

there are a couple reasons I drink coffee, and how I drink it is reflected clearly by them:

  • caffeine addiction (withdrawal headaches)
  • I want to drink something at my desk, and not always just water (I do drink tea sometimes but idk it just doesn't hit the same and I don't like the taste as much once it cools)

I make better coffee backcountry camping than I do at home

yw for the horror story
