Automatic Pro v3.5

by modsmthng

Automatic Pro is a profile family built to automate puck saturation and extraction with clever phase stops. Instead of creating different profiles for different beans, it aims to let taste be shaped mainly through the classic variables: preparation, grind size, temperature, and yield, similar to a traditional 9 bar profile. What makes it different is its adaptive behavior. Rather than relying on hard-coded phase lengths, it uses machine feedback such as pressure and flow to adjust the phases automatically. The result is a profile that responds more consistently to user input, mistakes, and intended changes, while reducing unnecessary profile tweaking and keeping the focus on the factors that shape flavor. How it works: The core idea is to automatically detect puck saturation without relying on a scale, regardless of dose, basket, beans or headspace. There’s also an automatic blooming phase, based on how much more water the puck can absorb without more dripping, as well as a ramp-up phase designed to minimize overshooting. The actual extraction then depends entirely on what you’re looking for: classic, spring-lever, or manual-lever-style extractions and so on. There is even an experimental adaptive pressure profile. (I prefer the direct lever variant, which is a flow profile and is inspired by how I use a Flair Pro 2) Example with the Direct Lever variant: https://mybrewfolio.com/analyzer/shared/4d2f3cfd-c7dd-4fcf-86c9-4a07cb539d50 This profile was developed by modsmthng together with the GaggiMate community, with a particularly significant contribution from LordApoth. The Deep Dive Shot Analyzer was developed for this profile and has since found its way into the GaggiMate WebUI and MyBrewFolio.
