Discussion around "Brew by Weight via Home Assistant" split off to its own thread to keep it from getting buried in here

Hi everyone, for some time espresso coffee hasn't come out as creamy and good as before. Same coffee (50\50 arabica and robusta), coffee grinder (kingrinder k4), espresso machine (de longhi dedicates art), same grams. I'll link you as it came before {video} uploaded by me.

Gary - We owe a lot of what this hobby or shall we say "art" has progressed into to OrphanEspresso (Doug & Barb). Definitely for hand grinders (search for hand grinder jive... or something like that) and for Lever machines. A story: I can still remember that late night trolling on eBay for an espresso machine after
