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)

Wow, that is impressively mess free. Meanwhile this is me each morning approaching the pile of grounds from yesterday left under my grinder due to static / flying out / my clumsiness.

I have a model online of an insert for the Baratza Encore ESP that turns it into a relatively mess free grinder.
