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!

I have a two-group Astoria and a decent burr grinder at home, for weekend funsies.

I also have a 12 cup percolator for weekday sipping.

And an Aeropress for when I don’t want to deal with all that.

AND a jug of store-bought cold brew in the fridge, for emergencies, when I “just can’t even”

My point is - it’s good to have options; get something easy and fast for “most” uses, but keep your good stuff for “treats”!
