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!

    Hehe I figured asking about a capsule in here would be blasphemy, but the missus wants one for flavored stuff and I’m hard pressed for arguments after she let me have this machine.

    Maybe instant with flavor is better…?

      Check out some of the smaller roasters that are now making their own instant. It’s not fresh ground, but I’ve had some absolutely good instant coffee that wasn’t bad at all.

      I mean no reason to give up counter space if you can get instant that actually tastes better
