Bridging brown and red or whatever colours not blue and white are will bypass the board entirely.
If that is the only pcb in the device op should be able to just put any (mains capable!) switch there to just toggle the entire device on/off

This is probably a bad idea, because the timer relay circuit probably has some additional safety features in it such as temperature limits, along with the device never being designed to run indefinitely.
If I had to guess, the heating element is controlled by the relay (big black cube). I would either bypass the output or bypass the input signal. The relay pinout can be easily found online on sites like this.

It almost certainly is designed to run indefinitely, this exact same coffee maker has been in production since the nineties or so. the only addition is the timer circuit, which is very clearly a much later addition, as the supporting structure is markedly different tk the rest of the device.
Anyway, a 240v switch is in order, I think. Fortunately we still have Farnell here in the UK, I shouldn’t like to pay international shipping fees for a single switch from china.
