The super automatic keeps beans and water internally. You press a button, it grinds, tamps, infuses, then controls pressure until enough water has passed. Press button, wait 40 seconds, enjoy coffee. Quicker and easier than even a "pod" machine.

Okay, that is pretty cool... especially seeing as I usually do multiple shots of coffee.
However convincing my wife I need a $800 coffee maker might be a hard sell
On the other hand the reason she shot down a espresso machine was that "they are so messy" and a super automatic would eliminate the grinder (grind my own beans every morning and some spillage is inevitable) and the mess of tamping/loading.
Hmmmmm
