Did anyone else downgrade/consider downgrading? (sh.itjust.works)

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!

Yepp. Both of them on the counter all the time. As it's a Mokkamaster and a Gaggia Classic, their foot print isn't that large and I don't have the room to put them away anyway.
Also, no spouse's opinion I have to consider. :)

If I were in your situation and had the room, I would most likely store the device and set a goal for myself to the tune of "If I'm not using it in 2/3/5 years, I'm selling that thing."

Enjoy your nice machine.
