- Shot logging with weight, time, and flow rate curve
- History and statistics
- Firmware updates
Usage Notes#
- Place on drip tray before locking in portafilter — auto-tare triggers when cup is set
- Flow rate indicator is less instantaneous than newer models — useful for trend, not real-time channelling detection
- Keep away from steam wand — splash resistance has limits
- Charge via MicroUSB before shots drop below ~20%
