Spent a fortune for this coffee maker awhile back. It is well built, the milled aluminum parts were meant to last a lifetime, but the plastic parts ages, stains and cracks overtime and need to be replaced. Unfortunately, no replacement plastic parts are available. I learned later that this beautifully designed machine is also destined to go to the landfill just like the cheaper coffee makers around.

Easy to use, solidly built, very reliable, vacuum flask keeps coffee hot, makes good coffee I would strongly recommend this for domestic use. Ours has been working reliably, two or more uses a day, for fifteen years. It was slightly hard to screw the top on but thats not a huge problem.
