What are the best BIFL quality products that are being made today?
seconding le creuset cast iron. also SEBO vacuums, ecm espresso machines (though most italian esp. machines are similar quality), bradley mountain wallets, peak design bags. not sure about true BIFL status due to the inclusion of software, but my nikon DSLRs have held up very well over the years

Best coffee maker? Is there anything new in 2025?
Id like to throw my setup into the hat. Espresso - ecm synchronika ii, eureka libra ap grinder. Drip - technivorm moccamaster (i have the one with the insulated carafe that’s glass lined. Inuse a df 64 as my grinder for coffee. I also have a capresso bur grinder that is semi retired/backup. Its lasted about 10 years, and still kicking. I used it every day. Pour over chemex. Melita makes some decent ones too but the chemex is all glass which i like.

What is your current BIFL item you recommend to everyone?
So many of my BIFL recommendations are kitchen gadgets. So skipping the obvious: Lodge Cast Iron Skillet! Zojirushi Rice Cooker (a made in Japan model) Vitamix Blender (skip all the fancy sensors and electronics, the 5200 series is great) Kitchen-Aid Stand Mixer (if you are a Sam's Club member, they nearly always have the "bowl-lift" model on sale for $300) Cladded Stainless Steel Cookware - (Hestan, All-Clad, Heritage Steel, etc.) This is splurge purchase, but you're a big espresso nerd, a European made espresso machine, thinking companies like Rancilio, Profitec, ECM. Thermo-Works instant read thermometer (Thermapen One) I use all of these at a minimum weekly, but as often as daily, or multiple times a day (espresso), and they've all lasted me and my wife years and some are pushing decades now.
