While I agree, and know that the coffee maker is just doing the manual steps, there's a lot to be said for just pushing a button and getting a coffee.
I got a "manual" Breville espresso machine (Barista Express), and honestly it's not that many steps compared to a full auto like my mom's Jura. I just have to move the portafilter to the grinder, tamp, and put it back into the showerhead. Meanwhile, my mom has to fill up the tank, the coffee hopper and empty the grounds bin every ~5 cups... Not convinced it's worth 2x the price, and I can actually make better espresso on my machine.
