I strongly suspect you'll have to physically remove the beeper - do you have
modest soldering skills?

I had to do the same thing on a UPS (battery backup power supply) for my
office computer, where power fluctuations in the building would regularly
cause it to start beeping, driving everyone crazy near my office. A couple
minutes with a soldering iron, and out it came. I have it in front of me as I
type: a little cylinder maybe a third of an inch in diameter and a half inch
high. Amazing that such a tiny gismo can make such an irritating and
obnoxious sound.

Anyway, it's just a matter of unsoldering it and removing it; it plays no part
in the essential timing circuitry of your coffee maker. I suppose a wad of
BlueTak or the like on the tiny opening in the beeper would mute it
drastically, as an alternative to unsoldering. This assumes it's easy to get
the shell of the coffee maker off to expose the guts - sometimes a big
assumption with consumer electronics!
