Found a working espresso machine on curb day in Portland
I was driving home last Tuesday and spotted this De'Longhi machine sitting next to a trash bin on SE Hawthorne. It had a note taped to it saying 'turns on but no steam', so I figured why not. Took it home and spent about 20 minutes descaling the boiler with vinegar and it works perfect now. Anyone else ever picked up something that just needed a simple fix?

Nice find! I love seeing stuff get rescued like that instead of just tossed.

I just read that 40% of electronics thrown away still work and @adam_patel is right, rescuing stuff is awesome.
