*Why I built it:* When I started with espresso, I'd pull a sour shot and have no idea if I should grind finer, change dose, or adjust temperature. The compass gives you a systematic approach instead of random guessing.
The flavor wheel was because I kept seeing "jasmine, bergamot" on bags and had no idea what beans to buy if I wanted those flavors.
