The coffee machine finally died
Looks like it's broken. I've used it well for over 5 years... Now I'm debating whether to get it repaired or buy a new one. Maybe this is the perfect chance to go down the rabbit hole of grinding fresh beans like a true coffee nerd?

I used mine for 6 years too, but recently tossed it. Replacement parts cost half as much as a new unit, so I just bought a new one. Once you get into grinders, it’s a whole new world, fr.
Buying a separate grinder would cost extra... and since I'm switching machines anyway, I might as well pretend I'm all about coffee flavor lol
Well, that's a bit... It's not like grinding your own beans automatically makes it taste good. Water temperature and pressure matter too.
Oh, I didn't know this. A separate grinder + machine setup is easier to maintain, I guess.
Is this brand normally repairable? I've also heard that local repair shops say it doesn't last long.
Not to argue, but... you'd need to see what the symptoms of the coffee machine dying actually are. If it's just the pump sound acting weird, the repair cost could be low.
The real question is how much the repair costs. These days, coffee machine repairs end up costing more than you'd think.
5 years is a good run lol. Buying a new one is more peace of mind.
If you're going to get it repaired, the first thing to do is check the service cost. If that's more than half the price of a new one, just buy a new one.
If you've used it well for 5 years, it's about time it broke down lol. Just go for your first grinder ever. I only used capsules before switching, and I'm satisfied.
