> A typewriter is an excellent tool because, even though it’s slow in a relative sense, every aspect of the machine itself operates as quickly as the user can move. For some reason, coffee machines with a built-in reservoir for coffee beans annoy me a lot more than the ones with a filter. For one with a filter, I know I have to put some coffee in it and fill the reservoir. I can determine the strength of the brew by this as well. The ones with built-in reservoirs should be able to give you a cup of coffee, but it is incredibly annoying when you have to suddenly refill the reservoir. While the total work you do is less, the machine is unpredictable. It feels like the machine now controls you, instead of the other way around.
