I’ve had medium roasts I would still pull longer and some that I would pull closer to 1:2, you just need to learn to go by taste and not by rules, because it really depends on the beans and one rule won’t fit all.
Few questions 1. What if the size of the cup if different( cappuccino for instance) will the scale need to reset or automatically reads it? 2. If we need to pull a single shot using single shot portafilter? Does the scale automatically detects it or we have to re do using the app? 3. How handy is the scale and mini combo if I use it in a small cafe where every shot is different from the other, same with the cup sizes and shots? How does this over all works? I dont want to go through the app every time i change the cup size or the portafilters.
1. It tares when you move the paddle, so cup weight doesn’t matter. 2. You’ll need to select single dose in the app (which is probably quicker than warming up the single portafilter). 3. Well, if you want to make it work, you’ll make it work. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an update at some point to enable switching between doses without the app. Some people just have an iPad or something next to the machine and have auto-lock off, so the app is always open. Not a dealbreaker if it’s something you think you’ll need in a cafe (I saw people use the same iPad to play music etc.). Having the Mini stop the shot at weight while you’re doing other things is super handy, definitely more handy than not having the scale at all.
