    Those new to espresso need training on palate and consistent dosing/distribution and that's it.

    Science and tools come later if required and are only of value once the base technique is sound.

      Agree with Chris. Palate training helps a new person in the steep learning curve. It also helps those who may have accepted a certain level without realising what is possible. For the rest of you it may be common sense but I find that I am still learning and so if there is technology that can help the learning, it will be great. The fear though is how the technology is marketed as in golf where you acquire all the tools but still do not play very good golf [emoji2]

        Palate training eh? guess my education is sadly lacking!

        Reckon Alan covers it very well with this statement,
        "Most of the time the only instrument I use
        when brewing is my mouth. For some reason, it seems to be all
        purpose. It tells me when the coffee is too hot or too cool, too
        strong or too weak, over or under extracted, and whether or not it
        tastes good."

        Most importantly, does it taste good?

          Yep...

          But when has that ever stopped people heading down paths that ultimately, they should not have proceeded...
          Just saying...

            If breaking the rules leads to a better result, then you change the rules. That's science.

            The trouble with common sense is that it's not very common.
