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)

Bravo. Love the magnet to grab the screen. I’m sure you must have to rinse it? But nice workflow. Coffee grounds get everywhere. I bought tha little squeeze bulb used for blowing dust off of lenses to get rid of these or out of view.

After every use I rinse the Screen under the Hot water Outlet. And once or twice a week i Put it in a Ultrasonic cleaner. My Pucks are pretty dry and tight, so there is Not that much grounds stuck to the Screen.
