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!

Grind in batches, even daily would be okay. I'm not sure if capsule machines have gotten better, but if not, I would expect grinding daily would still have substantially better quality, even it's not ideal.

In your morning routine are you making coffees for multiple people? I find it hard to believe low single-digit minutes is eating into your sleep time, but could be if multiple people.
