100% - I have a Rocket Evolution 2, got it in about 2010... still going strong. One of the best machines (brands) on the market. I thought about getting the Appartmeno, but a) expensive vrs what I'd sell mine for and b) not as small as I thought when I saw it. So I kept mine. Expect it to last another 20 years or more, with basic servicing. Time for another shot I think!

That's so exciting to hear! yeah it's definitely an investment - which I'll likely pay off in 1-2 years (given the cost of coffee here in NYC). And yes I'll want to keep it and maintain it for life. Any good coffee equipment you have found useful @fastchicken ?

Get a good tamping mat (mine just came from Aliexpress) Some good cleaning gear (descaler / cleaner / a brush to clean the head). Make sure you clean it (internally) weekly given your use (or more?) Most of all: get a good grinder. I have a Mazzer Mini at the moment, expect that to maybe outlast me (I'm 50).

We are on tank/rain water (I live up the road from @pjc ), so out water isn't hard, but if yours is get it properly descaled ... annually? They use a hypersonic thing. Get the head seal replaced at the same time Other than that... I don't do a lot to it, just make coffee, wipe it down to keep it clean... clean the head weekly... Mine gets about 4-6 shots a day thru it so not a lot.

Iโve found a puck screen really useful. I clean my machine every 2 weeks, but maybe should clean more often. Thank you for the advice!
