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.
