I once had to fix our neighbors' coffee grinder at Burning Man. I found that it had a blown thermal fuse, probably because they were using a household coffee grinder for an espresso bar which served dozens of cups a day.

Solution:
1. Bypass thermal fuse
2. Write on the case "For playa use only. Safety systems disabled"
3. Safety third!
