I think it translates to fully automated coffee machine. Grinder+brewing department+UI. Something like a Bosch VeroSelection. They usually have some settings for the grinder and you can select different kinds/sizes of coffee. And that's the problem. There's one container for the beans but you can theoretically select coffee or espresso. What I was talking about was the need for one container for regular coffee beans and one for espresso beans (or just different roast would be nice as well). I agree that everything else would mostly be gimmicky (even though regulating pressure, water temperature etc. in a more open format would be great) but it would be gimmicks I enjoy like remotely starting it from an app if I enter certain GPS coordinates around a certain time (off from work) or when the shower stops in the morning. I'd probably also get a kick out of statistics and graphs of coffee consumption. p.s.: I do own an Aeropress (+hand-crank burr grinder) and use it but the machine is quicker in the morning where I'm notoriously late no matter when I get up. It's mostly a matter of convenience as the quality is better when I use the Aeropress (but the machine is good enough given great beans of course). I love the control you have with an Aeropress+grinder and that's a good reason to build a DIY machine as the typical ones you get don't allow you to control nearly enough stuff. I also enjoy the process of making the coffee but sometimes I want that tiny extra bit of convenience (even willing to trade it for slightly less good coffee)
