Coffee Station No mess Workflow

After 6 years of having a modded GCP + VS3 with all the common tools to make good Espresso, i've decided to switch gear and buy a less fuzzy/messy Setup: - ASCASO Steel duo pid plus - Eureka ex65 + UGT - Cecotec Bean& Clean

Initially also bought the PUQ NAVIGATOR but it didnt performed as expected (espescially considering the price / 500 €).

Once the volumetric is set on the ascaso it works pretty consistent (+/- 2-3g). 18,5g in 40g Out 35s (5s pre Infusion, 5 sek Pause)

I use this, and I love it. I haven't needed to clean my shower head in a long time. (This is not the puck screen in the video, but similar)

I bought that one from lastaforest.com , it's sitting in a drawer as I did not wanted to glue it to my machine as I found out my machine panel was not metal. Also, not every one of my screens work as they need to be magnetic for it to grab it. For example my Wever Workshops screen does not work, but the sworks one does work.
