I currently have a non-functioning coffee machine and a broken kitchen scale right beside me. (Like, literally broken, I keep finding acrylic glass fragments...)

What if you're currently using a working coffee machine that's the same model of the broken one, keeping it 'just in case' the other one breaks 'in a different way' and you now have the part? Umm, asking for a friend...

That's not only perfectly reasonable, it's also the most sustainable thing to do

I tried that once. Turns out they made some small changes between the different version of the same model and the parts didn't quite fit. I don't keep things around for spare parts anymore.

Just swap the broken parts an you end up with two working coffee machines for your friend!

With a few mods you should be able to get a functioning kitchen coffee scale machine

Nooo don't give me ideas!
