There's a saeco automatic espresso machine on sale in another thread which makes far better coffee and wastes far fewer resources.
That being said, I don't pay much heed to an inventor's remorse when said inventor sold his rights for $50,000 a couple of decades ago, long before it became a commercial success. While the sentiment is spot-on, a "sounds like sour grapes" spokesperson might not be the best choice.
