I have been using the Bookoo Mini for a while and recently got the 15€ Aliexpress one to test for a video - and I was actually quite impressed. The Bookoo obviously looks nicer, but functionality-wise they seem really close to each other.

I am also planning a more in-depth comparison video between the two, so I wanted to ask: what scale are you using, and what do you look for in a good one? and maybe what annoys you about your current scale?

If you are interested here is the video: https://youtu.be/-DUXnXUvZa0

I found a project on GitHub that connects Claude AI to Gaggimate with an MCP last week. Basically the idea is: take a picture of the beans, describe your setup, and the AI creates a pressure profile directly on the machine and then analyzes your shots to improve it. And all communication with the machine happens automatically in the background.

I made a short video about it if anyone is curious how that looks in practice: https://youtu.be/iI2O-JybS8o?si=IzNWRbksCQxfcqXC

Honestly more useful than I expected for dialing in a new bean, especially the shot analysis part. Still not magic but for getting started or if you want to optimize your shots to the last bits, it could be nice.

Anyone else tried integrating AI tooling with their Gaggimate already?
