My coffee machine was dead this morning
Woke up and tried to brew, but no water came out—just the pump humming. Ended up heading to work with a convenience store americano. Should I get this one repaired or just buy a new one?

First, check the sensor or filter.
Yeah, that can happen, I guess.
Once you factor in the repair cost, you're better off buying a new one. If it's a few years old, just throw it away.
Isn't a convenience store americano on the way to work enough to be satisfied?
I did that once too, and when I sent it in for repair, the parts ended up costing even more. I'd recommend just buying a new one.
Well, if the pump is making noise, then it's probably not a power issue. Water not coming up is usually due to an air lock or a clogged filter, so just dry the inside and try turning it on again.
I had a similar experience, but it turned out the hose inside the water tank was twisted. Open the lid and check it.
First, check the repair cost, and if it's been over 3 years, it's better to buy a new one.
Only the sound of a pump buzzing = is it a juicer?
I had the same issue last year too. I called for service and it turned out to be a water tank sensor malfunction, so I got the part replaced for 20,000 won. It'd be a waste to buy a new one.
