Glad you got it worked out!

Still no firmware for pulse grinding or the ability to set a button to less than 1.0s eh? Id settle for .5s

I cant tell you the number of times I've hit 15-16.5 when I was trying to hit 18g and then had to waste coffee because hitting the single dose at 1.0s put me well into 20g.

Sometimes I will be quick with the off button as someone mentioned previously in the thread, but you have to wonder how good that is for the machine to get it grinding away and then just shut it down mid grind.

Parts required:


Step 1. Disable microswitch activation of the timed dosing through the menu.

Like so:
