UX-minded home barista who stress-tests machines in real kitchens during peak hours.

Your machine should disappear into your routine and reduce morning friction.

One winter, I shadowed a family's morning: two kids, one meeting, eight minutes. The 'fancy' machine won on Saturday but choked on weekdays—loud, splashy, endless wiping. A quieter model with a rinse tray and tidy puck saved 90 seconds and stress. Workflow, not wattage, set the tone.

I favor quieter workflow, tidy pucks, and intuitive controls over raw power.
