I used to live on a “totally not a commune” and they had this espresso machine for like 20 years, used daily by 10-15 people pretty much the whole time and I bet it’s still trucking 6 years later. Total workhorse, I’ve been looking for a secondhand one since I left that place but no luck.

It’s about 630-800€ new. Simple parts, you can make all maintenance by yourself with basic tools. PID mod + presure is necessary IMO.

I have one of these going on 13 years as well with nothing replaced yet. Still makes a better coffee than some of my local cafes. OP what’s the digital display under the frother? I don’t have that did you do that custom?
