Acaia Lunar scale first coffee flow control device on Lelit MaraX

Acaia Lunar digital scale first coffee using flow control device on Lelit MaraX. I need to mention that I did not replace the bottom spring of the MaraX, I am testing it that way first.

Damn. I just realized something on your machine. You added a flow control. That's not usually on the Mara X. What a beautiful addition. I was curious as to what that actually did but you just demonstrated. It allows you to add any level of preinfusion but also lower the pressure on the fly so if you are getting too much pressure you can adjust it as the water is flowing out, right? Was that addition expensive and hard to install?

I'm curious to know if there is any clumping with your grinder. I use a grinder that does the job but it comes out kind of clumped together. I'm wondering if these higher models avoid that or if all espresso machines kick out clumpy grains? I mean as soon as use my distributor they go away but still it would nice to not have them clump. Great video by the way.

Could you fit the bodum under the lelit? I'm wondering what scale to buy for long term, acaia pearl or bodum, lunar seems a bit overpriced :)

How do you like the new scale?
I will also order and and am doing some research.

I got lelit Mara X as well and today installed the Lelit Flow Control kit. I was testing the flow rate when flow paddle turned to maximum but only got a flow of 40 - 42g / 10sec, which seems to be quite low compared to the usual. Would you be able to share/test how much your flow / 10sec is at the maximum?

Eureka has that mutch retention? 1.5g...

Too bad you have a nice setup but you still call it expresso
