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!

Cheers friend.

The analogy fits better than you could have hoped for: I literally ordered all the HW for my new build on Friday. Did I need to upgrade the 5600X and 3080?
No, but PC has been my main hobby for 20 years and I’ve never had a build this long ever (GPU was replaced due to 1080 dying).

Thanks for chiming in and enjoy your new build!

    You too, buddy. I'm kind of the opposite, wanted to build a PC for decades but always ended up compromising somehow or another. Finally escaped windows and built my own at the same time, feels great.
