Ya, used for almost 10 years, waiting for it to fail so I have the excuse to get a new one.

But I sent for servicing and did some overhaul a few months ago, the guy told me see my machine 10 years later.

It lasted better than my Rolex. :s13:

It was like my bitcoin rig.
My $6000 PC bought at that time paid by itself from farming ETH.

Initially everyone was saying I wasted money buying a high end computer to watch YouTube videos. :(

For my espresso machine, the monies saved by my family from going cafes, making better coffee long ago paid off for the machine. :o

But espresso machines have to be maintained like a car. So for the best ROI I kept studying the inside see solid or not. :o
One of the experiences of drinking coffee is in a cafe though. Not to mention, when out and about , still need to purchase from cafe.

I put a sofa set outside my house to drink coffee. Good view, windy and all good except town council asked me to remove it. :(

reno satki you can even plumb in and have drain out directly
Like will take up a lot of space if it’s in the kitchen though, thinking if should set up a corner behind the living room area but can’t do plumbing there 🤔

if you are doing a full reno.. that's a problem for the contractor / ID to think.. lol..
BTW mine is also at the living room. When i reno the house, i planned for it. so dimension etc are provided to the contractor.
