Classic
Easiest to dial in
More details
Often works well with older beans, supermarket beans, darker roasts, and coffees with no known roast date. There is no dedicated bloom phase, the main extraction is flow-based, and the profile reacts directly to puck resistance.
No standalone files in the current build.
Direct Lever
Flow profile
More details
Original Automatic Pro experience. Flow-based extraction that simulates a direct/manual lever machine and reacts directly to puck resistance.
If this causes issues with a fast pressure drop, switch to one of the other variations.
No standalone files in the current build.
Spring Lever
Pressure profile
More details
Pressure-based extraction that simulates a traditional spring lever machine with declining pressure throughout the shot.
Useful if Direct Lever loses pressure very quickly or tastes overly acidic. If the shot runs too fast, grind finer.
No standalone files in the current build.
Adaptive Pressure
More details
Experimental pressure-based extraction where pressure adapts to puck resistance. It can reduce acidity for some coffees, but is still actively evolving.
No standalone files in the current build.
9bar
More details
Traditional flat-pressure extraction using Automatic Pro pre-extraction logic. It usually needs a finer grind than traditional 9 bar profiles.
No standalone files in the current build.
Ultra Fine
More details
Experimental profile designed for very fine grind sizes. It is mainly intended for light roasts and aims to reduce perceived acidity while preserving fruit notes.
No standalone files in the current build.
User Profile
More details
Use this batch when the profile differs from the other profile schemas or is a small variation of an existing profile or variation
