The biggest luxury I have, a Rocket Appartamento 🇮🇹

Use it ~4 times a day

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!

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).

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 ?
