title_body: Good quality espresso / cappuccino maker that doesn't leak or break within 18 months of use
upvoted_answer: I think I put a new gasket in the Vesuviana once, but I find it more of a pain to clean than I like. Still, gotta be pushing 50 years old, pretty reliable. 
  
  Also a stovetop device, but purported espresso. Espresso snobs may say it's not real espresso.
  
  For cappuccino there are similar stovetop devices to make steam with.
