@Jeff I just looked over the editing again. Your right. A BIG pain. An excel spreadsheet with formulas would be the way to do it but that is going to take additional effort. I may reach out to Crem to see what they are doing.

Just on the Crem One. I couldn't find the page to download the firmware. I only seen this post in my search. Can you download the firmware from Crem? I couldn't even find an email address to ask about the software program to edit the profiles/recipe.

Just when I thought it was safe, I've found another model to consider.

It's been a month... what did you end up going with? Or still deciding?
I'm still on the fence--
Bianca seems like the "safe" bet
Crem One seems like the higher ceiling but lower floor.
My brain likes the idea of the VBM, but I just can't convince myself it's what I want.

I ended up buying a Profitec Pro 700 v2 with a Eureka Mignon XL grinder.
My decision just went back to looking for a low tech machine. The Rocket R58 which was a close second. You can get down a rabbit hole trying to decide so I just asked my wife which one she liked the look of the best and the decision was made. They didn't have the Crem One in so she didn't see that.
I watched some youtube videos on the Leit Bianca which turned me away from it.
I haven't received the grinder yet so now review. I like espresso's so I like the fact that the brew boiler heats up fast for my espressos then I can move on to making latte's for wife once the steam boiler is up to temp.
Steam pressure is at 2 bar but mine sits at 1.9. Having a shot clock is good.
