Left-Handed Coffee Chaos: My Extremely Serious Battle Between Two Machines

Yes, I know you've been dying to find out which coffee machine I use. Sleepless nights, tossing and turning, thinking: “How does Kuray brew his morning coffee?” And let's not pretend — I know you were especially concerned about whether it’s left-handed friendly. Because that’s what keeps people up at night, right?

Anyway, it’s been a while since I wrote a blog post. Words have been steeping in my mind like a good French press, and now that I’ve spent some solid time with two coffee machines, it’s time to spill the beans — literally and figuratively.

Today, we’re putting two machines to the test: one budget-friendly, minimalist, "I make coffee and that’s it" type — the Philips HD7461/20. And the other? A confident, feature-packed, “I’ll even grind the beans for you” machine — the Fakir KM 6151.

So buckle up, especially my fellow left-handed coffee warriors — we’re diving into water tanks, digital screens, bean grinding drama, and the eternal quest for That Perfect Cup™.

Philips HD7461/20: Pour with your right, suffer with your left

Let’s start with the no-nonsense Philips. Affordable and sleek, yes. But does it play nice with left-handers?

• The water tank is only accessible from the right. As a leftie, I basically have to channel my inner yoga master to pour water properly.

• The opening is narrow — spill central if you're half-awake.

• No grinder, so you’re manually grinding your beans every time. Fresh? Sure. Fun? Not really at 7 AM.

• Decent plastic quality, but it’s light. It doesn’t give that “quality gear” vibe — more like “starter pack coffee maker.”

Overall: Gets the job done, doesn’t stir your soul. Ideal for students or folks who see coffee as just fuel, not a ritual.

Fakir KM 6151: Barista vibes in machine form

Enter Fakir — a premium machine that acts like it owns the café.

• Built-in grinder = fresh beans, fresh flavor, every time.

• A digital control panel lets you select the number of cups and the amount of beans. Half-asleep? No problem.

• Heavier and sturdier — it just feels like it belongs in a serious kitchen.

• Most importantly: leftie approved! Water tank is accessible from both sides. Sweet ergonomic justice!

Yes, it’s nearly twice the price of the Philips. But with the convenience and quality it brings? Honestly, it feels worth it. Bonus: the timer lets you set your coffee in advance. Wake up and it’s already brewed. You’re welcome.

Verdict: Choose your coffee spirit

If you just need caffeine and go, Philips will do. But if you want an experience — that fresh aroma, that sleek control, that morning ritual — Fakir is your best friend.

Which one do I use? Well, I won’t spoil the mystery… but let’s just say: I can access the water tank with either hand 😉
