Let me use the discussion of coffee to plug what I believe is the most beautiful and long-lasting espresso machine currently out there (you'll hand it down to your grandkids): https://coffeegeek.com/reviews/firstlooks/cafelat-robot-espr...

I've pulled a few thousand cups of long espresso from this guy since we bought it two years ago. Much, much nicer and lower maintenance than a boiler machine. If one wants, you can go deep down the rabbit hole of heat control, etc. but even as a "just boil water and make espresso" machine it works great, with no fuss.

Unfortunately, after buying this thing I can't justify buying other coffee objects that are beautiful but would probably make worse coffee than the robot, e.g., the Moccamaster and other drip machines.
