Had fixed it once in 2011, where the SCR for the water heater had a weird issue and needed to be replaced.
This cheap thing made tons of coffee during all those years, with minimal maintenance like cleaning and descaling once in a while.
Pretty impressive if you ask me.
Good thing I had collected four identical machines over the years.
Can't fix anything without a steady supply of coffee.
It's probably the pump, which is still available for about 16 Euros:

It sounded weird during the last few days and descaling didn't change that.
Not much of a repair yet but I'll probably find time to take care of it during the next few weeks.
