My friend bought a high end full auto machine and I gifted him a bag of my favorite dark roast (which is really a very medium roast, not overburnt oily crap).
I tried adjusting his grind and other settings on the full auto machine and I couldn't get anywhere near what my Bianca does.
The one button convenience is amazing but yeah I do love the ritual.
Same for me, I love the ritual, but it's not something I have time everyday. For those days, a super simple electric coffe maker is good enough, but not even this kind of coffee you can find in a lot of coffee shops.
