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!


Fair enough. I get your point, I just personally disagree with it I suppose. Coffee is important enough to me that it’s worth the counter space, even if it isn’t getting used all the time. But that’s just me. Ultimately, this is a decision you and your partner should make, not random people on the internet. But I know if it was me and I sold it, I’d miss it and regret it.
Same.
I know you’re right so I’m leaning more towards waiting it out for the kids to grow and find a cheap solution for now.
The input here has been interesting.
