See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Argh. Espresso machine produced one teaspoon of ice-cold coffee this morning and then just stopped dead. This is our third to go dead in less than two years (the first one, a Braun, lasted almost 15 years before dying, but Braun doesn't make them anymore). Does anyone have any recommendations for espresso-making workhorses that won't collapse after a couple of months?

JZ- I use a stovetop one like this (only mine was $10.00 in the ethnic food section of my grocery store).
I would say it can't die, however, I killed mine this morning by putting it on the stove with no water and starting a fire. So I, too, am in the market for a new coffee maker.

OMG, I just looked at my electric bill for December. It's $170!!! Has to be because I and/or my mom was home for those three weeks. Last December, I only used 1300 kw--this year, it's 2000.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I used to own a Gaggia Carezza (I had to lose it in the move). I used it daily in my office when I had a job and occasionally at home when I didn't. I bartered it to the producer of my album and as far as I know it's still working for him. However, it's an older model so it may be a little hard to find. I see some listings on Google Shopping but I didn't hit the links to follow through:

I have a ten-year-old espresso maker, sitting in my closet, unopened in its original box. It was supposed to be a gift for my sister who gave the same xmas list to both me and my brother-in-law.

Ah! An Italian job! We have two which are our only coffee makers. Such delicious coffee! (I actually kind of like the french press better but had to stop using it after I burned myself terribly twice last year)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm a big fan of the Aeropress. People with better palates than mine tell me its brew is espresso-like. It won my heart by being by far the easiest to clean of any coffee making apparatus I have used.

Attempting this from iTouch... lisah , neighbor & I have plans that go as far as "booze and uhh..." so I'd be happy to entertain any proposals beyond that & include her.
Ok, not fast, but bearable . Maybe I'll get used to it when I get my own in a week or so.
