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!
Never go back to the capsule machines. They all still suck.
An Aiden would be a good choice to supplement the Profitec but you could also look at a Clever Dripper which will do up to 500ml of brew at one time. Do you have a seperate grinder that could be used with a Clever Dripper?
I use a Clever Dripper at the office because it uses very the least amount of my time to make a consistently good cup of filter coffee. It is also quite forgiving if you get interrupted and the grounds steep for a few minutes longer than planned.
