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!


Fellow sucks, they have no support or parts available. I would never buy from them again.
Having a moccamaster or other SCA approved drip maker for crowds does seem reasonable. Whether you use the espresso machine “enough” to keep it around is of course up to you.
Thanks for the input!
Leaning towards a cheaper secondary option that can be stowed away
