I'm actually surprised they are still around...


Italian born and raised, but moved around in various contries.

I own a handful of Bialetti mokas of different sizes. A couple of those are from my teenager years, I don't even remember buying them, they might have been from my parents. I still use them multiple times daily.

Mokas are for life. As long as you replace the plastic gasket once in a while (a couple bucks) and you don't accidentally melt the handle (which you can replace anyway) they'll outlive all of us.


Came here to say this. Everytime i look at a moka I am delighted about how sturdy it is, and think about how no one builds stuff built to last as long anymore. cast aluminum ftw.


Exactly: at its core a moka is just a casted aluminium blob. Good luck breaking that one.

Replaceable parts are a few euros.


I love the simplicity and perfection of a moka pot.

The Dualit toaster is another piece of "built to last" kitchen equipment.

Pressed steel panels and all parts available since 1946. They're made for caterers so you probably won't ever need to repair it if you're using it domestically.

We've had ours since 2004ish and it still looks and works exactly like new.


Friends up in a forgotten corner of the Western Highlands turned one into a passive fibre termination box. Pics:

Yes, if you look closely at their shell you'll see they are calling some `python3` command to get/push/(?) stuff into that PR.


This. I never have to take it off. Battery lasts forever, lightweight, thin, accurate (despite it lacks radio synch), extremely cheap.


I'm happy with mine, but it gains ~1s each day w.r.t. the national radio clock signal. I normally adjust it every couple of days.



Indeed, it sounds something that should have been part of their now-famous SRE book :)

Is it breaking any obvious NDA or can you share it?


Not affiliated any more, so I don't even have it. But yeah documents you write on payroll are corporate intellectual property (same as code is) so I couldn't just share it even if I wrote it myself.

I wish they added it to the SRE book. But it's not a hard sell if someone already believes that you need to distribute computation/data for higher reliability. Same goes for labor/know-how.


Sounds familiar to the bus factor. You want to keep it high in a project, wikipedia has some hints about it.
