Let me tell you guys a story. When I wear my /ck/ hat one of the things I do is make espresso. I'm budget conscious so I use a simple old school prosumer Gaggia boiler that they've been making since like 1985 and they're still making.

But the grind is really important to making good espresso too and a good grinder can cost just as much as a boiler! So I use this literally 110 year old hand cranked coffee mill.

That coffee mill is like a CRT of the previous century. The kind of technology that was EVERYWHERE and even though maybe 99% of them are gone there's so little DEMAND for them, especially in "for use" condition (versus antique suitable for display) that it's not expensive to own and use one. That's how CRTs are going to be for the whole rest of probably even my kids' lives.
