I prefer minimal config, but she lost me here:

> If you compare the experience of using both coffee machines, even if the former doesn’t give you the exact kind of coffee you want, you are still far better off.

Nope. Probably true for people that don't care about coffee, but give me the full espresso machine any time.

I feel the same about coffee machines (owning one of the beasts), but I mostly agree with the article.

I wonder if pro coffee machine technicians prefer single-button full autos. Would make sense.

Actually, it's a great point. For the vast majority of us, coffee is coffee. I have an Aeropress that I use at work and Keurig's at home. I can't tell the difference. So tailor your configuration to the masses with options to configure if that user has "better taste buds".
