I've replaced parts on an as needed basis including valves, seals, pump, pstat, etc and it just keeps on ticking. Only regret is that it's not plumbed.

For regular coffee, I've got a French press, aeropress, kalita and now with a new baby went auto with a mochamaster technivorm. Kalita takes the cake for best non-espresso cup in my view, when time permits.

However, whatever your method, fresh beans are a must. In Boston, big fan of Gracenote, but Barismo is definitely solid too.

I think that's literally the first generation Rocket post-Andrew Meo company takeover. Damn.
