If available as new (not used on eBay), I may buy again.
Positive Product Points
Real workhorse! Have had/used for > 12 years. Heats quickly, can pull decent shots with a fine grind and good tamping.
Negative Product Points
No replacement parts available any longer except the filters and filter holder.
Detailed Commentary
I have used the Krups Novo 964 for 12.5 years and am very impressed with the unit's durability and ease of use. I pull up to 7 shots on any given day; after 12 years, I pull more decent shots than not, but still consider myself a beginner.
The unit is solid and heavy, unlike the newer Krups models which feel light/plastic. As these are no longer available new (nor can you even find mention of them on Krups' website), I am unsure as to what I'd buy if/when this unit goes to espresso heaven (ok, maybe purgatory as it is a Krups...).
