A rule I follow for kitchen tools is if I can find a manual, metal version, the better off I am. I use a pour over coffee maker and French press. Electronics just don't have the lifespan for me to waste money on them.
Same, some things I just do by hand because it's not so much more work, or leads to a better end result. Moka pot, big knife, iron skillet, some tools are so amazing and low tech. I can't refrigerate by hand though. We got a monster of a big fridge for the pantry, not hooked up to water, just a cavernous fridge/freezer thing and I LOVE it - it's like the TARDIS, will look full but if I shove things at I can add two loaves of bread dough, a cabbage, dozen eggs, so far it's never run out of space even around Thanksgiving with two turkeys in there. I am hoping that because there are fewer moving parts it will last.
And my Honda? I want it to live forever. 6 speed Accord Sport, stealth fun car in a mom car costume.
