Problem

You are in charge of creating a system that stores coffee machines. Each coffee machine has a brewing unit but only some have grinders.

Please create a class diagram to store these coffee machines. Only those two aspects about a coffee machine are important to capture at this point but the design must be extensible.

For example, in future I may ask you to extend the design to store coffee machines with a WIFI coffee reordering module and so on. How would an instance of a coffee machine be created?
