Hot take: That $300 'viral' coffee machine is just collecting dust now

Bought it after seeing it everywhere, but it's way too much work for a daily cup. Anyone else have a gadget that seemed essential during the hype?

Oh, I sold mine online and bought a simple pour-over setup instead.

Sell it now while it still has that "new" factor and people are searching for it. The resale value on those things drops fast once the next shiny gadget comes along. A basic French press makes great coffee with about two minutes of actual effort. Mine paid for a nice dinner out after I finally admitted it was just a fancy counter ornament.

Actually use mine every single morning and it's the best part of my routine. The timer and automatic brew mean I wake up to coffee already made, which is huge on busy days. Sure a French press works, but for me the convenience is totally worth the counter space. It's not just a gadget if you use it all the time.
