There's little things that are built to last scattered all over my home and office. A chunk are inherited from previous generations others are unsuspecting items I bought that just keep chugging (I'm looking at you $9 toaster from Walmart). I have a few things that I've bought that I really hope they are built to last -- part of my motivation to purchase was this quality. Of course building things to last isn't obsolete. Most things we buy are for a purpose. Typically that purpose results in them being "used up". Socks get holes, mechanisms wear -- all of that is normal and expected. Periodically through either some extra care or happenstance the item doesn't get used up in an expected period of time. It seems it was BUILT TO LAST, over time our kids and dependents will marvel at the way things used to be built. Some day in 40 years someone will look at your Aeropress and bemoan, is "built to last" obsolete?
