Yeah, that's a different way of looking at things.
I don't sleep much as I'm a night owl (roughly four-five hours a night). Mornings can be a little tough some days, so I can't be bothered to go through the whole process and just skip the coffee until noon. The most obvious solution to all my problems is to sleep earlier, but I'm not ready for that just yet
The girlfriend still uses a Nespresso which I could use (and have thought of), but I've been spoiled by the taste from my current machine that it tastes so watered down. Pods are also so expensive for what you get compared to whole beans.
I was thinking a super automatic would be a good compromise between taste and convenience for me and she could eventually migrate off of the Nespresso at the same time.
