I understand how frustrating it must be to have your coffee machine waste good coffee due to sensor issues. While bypassing the Hall sensor isn't generally recommended, a potential workaround might involve adjusting the motor's current draw. Increasing the current flow by about 200mA could help, as suggested by HarryA, ensuring it stays within safe limits. Alternatively, calibrating the sensor as mentioned by bidrohini and Beans320 might resolve the issue. If these methods prove ineffective, consulting with a technician for a more precise solution might be your best bet. Good luck!
