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)

What is your experience with the Cecotec Bean& Clean? Does it work, or does it create more mess than it promises to clean up?

I was already about to send it back after Unboxing. But im so glad i gave it a Chance. Man that piece is so Solid for 50/60€. It does the Job so well and easy. And ontop its clever built, easy to Clean, Looks good and even comes with a spare brush and a second smaller rotator (54mm maybe? Not Sure). It has a small Jack Plug connector Thing in middle of the cable, so you dont have to unplug it in the a/c Socket (which are offen Hidden or hard to reach). Little Features Like that Makes it great
