EU moccamaster hotplate, lengthen auto-off

Hello, I have just purchased a moccamaster select because I’m lazy and pouring water over ground coffee is too much like hard work in the morning.

One of the primary reasons I bought this thing was because it has a hot plate but EU regs state for the device past 2015 mean it turns off after 40 minutes.

This is not ideal, I wanted the machine to brew me a big batch of coffee and keep it warm for at least 2 hours.

I know, just make another batch bro! But the moccamaster shines when it’s at full capacity and I don’t want to drink “20 cups” of coffee (6 mugs).

Can it be modified to bypass the auto off? Most posts about modifying the hot plate consist of cutting the wires to disable it - which is the complete opposite of what I want to achieve.

I want 2 hour old stale coffee dammit.

(Real reason I got this and want the time extended, I’m expecting a child and just wanted to make brewing coffee easier and keep it hot while doing other things)
