Bro, STFU, you paid 35$ for it??? I’ve had my Rancilio Silvia since 2014 and haven’t had to maintenance it at all other the the occasional descaling. I also paid full price for it (over 1000$ cad) and that is why I consider your purchase of it an absolute steal. Well done.

Most important: How many budget do you have??? And how about your height, weight?

If you want own again a chair experience with you in more than 10 years, Steelcase Series 1, 2 can do it. They offer 12 years warranty and 400 lbs capacity weight.

Series 1 (~450$) if you are short

Series 2 (~800$) if you have avegare tall

This is such a good score! I was a barista in high school; make sure to invest in some brushes to clean is well and to “break down” the machine fully when you clean it. (Remove grate, etc.) if you do that, it can last for a literal decade or two.

Ok, maybe their site is just weird. When I looked at the page for sheet sets there's nothing there under 1k, but when I searched for "Percale" then I found some sets in the price range you're describing, which is still expensive but much more reasonable. Although I still wonder why anyone would pay over a thousand dollars for a sheet set, unless it was truly BIFL.
