I’m extremely happy with my Profitec Pro 600, but after getting kids I just value sleep more than the perfect cup in the morning. After work it’s usually kindergarten pick-up, dinner, playtime and then too late for a cuppa.
Also, when having guests over, the constant noise of grinding 5-6 cups interrupts the conversation and takes time.

I’m seriously considering selling my dream machine and getting a capsule and/or the Fellow Aiden so I can at least make really good coffee, but with one grind and a batch for everybody at once.

What have been your experiences on this?
Am I being an idiot and should keep it stored for when I have more time in the future?
Do I just not love the process enough for such a quality machine?

Appreciate honest feedback!

    Do what you need to do. We downgraded to instant, it works for occasions when its 6:30am and the dog wants to go for a walk, cup of coffee in a minute, without waking my wife up with the grinder.

    You really appreciate a proper brew after instant LOL

      Same here. Fresh cappuccino is our default but I take out the V60 for larger quantities and instant for convenience. To anyone in Europe I can recommend blaek.coffee. It’s still instant but better than the usual stuff and comes in single cup sachets.

        Good recommendations. I think many people equate instant with the real cheap nescafe coffee you’d resort to while camping

      Thanks for the input!

      I’m leaning towards adding rather than replacing, because all coffee is OK at best everywhere else. Life’s to short for OK, even for us normal folks, right?
