I worry about the longevity of Vesuvius. So many moving and electronic parts. I suppose the same could be said for any modern machine but Vesuvius' dinky LED touch screen worries me as do the internal parts that control all that control.
Brett, How could you have such a rational thought, and contradict the preaching of the world's most renown espresso machine expert?? Everything the mouth of the south sells is simply the greatest, and he will tell you so repeatedly, so that soon the light shall become clear. It is blasphemous to doubt the word of the mighty retailer. The electronics are state of the art, and surpass what NASA uses, no doubt they will be deemed indestructible. The wiring is not your common pvc coated crap, but most probably high temp silicon that can withstand 200deg+. The copper wire is probably not tinned, but platinum-ed. The internal design is so schmick that the possibility of water egress to any electrical part is unheard of. Remember, control boards do not fail, and technology is king. The more complex the design the longer it will last. I suggest your penance to be a BLT whilst watching "Team America". Durka Durka....
