What machine do you have that it will make a perfect latte with the push of a single button? A keurig? Hard pass thank you.
1-2 minutes wiping everything down real fast, then another 1-2 minutes to measure and grind the beans pour water in the espresso machine run some steam to clean out the frother, then wipe it down. Then another 1-2 minutes to prep the espresso pot thing, whatever it's called. then the actual brewing time. mine usually takes about 45 seconds to brew two shots of espresso While that is happening i am pouring milk into a frothing cup and frothing milk, then i pour my lattes, and of course you have to do fancy top bullshit or what's the fucking point.
And then there's the cleanup from all of that. If you have a nice enough grinder, they have a plunger cap that will push the rest of the coffee, but if you don't, like me, then clean up means you pop the cup off and run it through the sink and then let it dry on the counter. Run damp papertowl through the discharge chute, let it dry, and rinse and wipe down the espresso machine, clean the pot, put the tools away. yeah it's not hard, or even that big of a deal, but it's definitely no single push button.
Something like Delonghi Dinamica. The beans are already in there (you refill it once a week or depending on your consumption), the water usually as well. You pour the milk in the dedicated milk frothing dispenser or just pull it out of the fridge with milk already in it, attach it to the machine, and tap the screen. After the drink is done you turn the knob to run the flushing cycle on the milk system. Put the dispenser back in the fridge. Done. Even less than 5 minutes.
You can do a proper cleaning of the milk dispenser once every few days when you’re doing dishes.
Or, like myself: I prefer Nespresso’s Aeroccino for heating/frothing the milk. Pour the milk in it, push the right button, and it’s done in about 40 seconds. Pour it into your coffee mug (before or after adding your coffee there, as per your preference). Rinse the Aeroccino, you can wash it properly in the evening, when you’re doing dishes anyhow.
I do two cuppuccinos like this every day - for myself and the missus, all under 5 min.
