Me, years ago:

I'm going to buy a bean-to-cup machine! So much easier? And no pods, for the environment!

Me, these days:
Oh the drip tray is full. *Empties drip tray*
Oh the used coffee compartment is also full. *Empties that*
*Powers on machine*
Oh the water compartment is empty. *Adds water* *starts coffee cycle*
Oh that grinder doesn't sound right. *Cancels coffee cycle* *adds beans*

There are times where I yearn back for the predictability of a French press.
