It took a while, but my set-up is as good as perfect now. Only thing that's left is sorting out the wiring mess under the table and moving from a breadboard to a a soldered prototyping board and putting it in a neat case with connectors.
So it's a PID controlled La Pavoni Europiccola pre-millenium and a Compak K6. Small gubbins I made for myself are a stainless steel scoop to scoop the grinds out of the 3D-printed nozzle replacing the doser. And a 3D-printed tamper, suspended in a ring resting on the basket to ensure level tamping every time. I'm a big fan of the Hario timer / scale combination, as I'm constantly switching beans it helps me stay on top of grind settings.
The purple glow underneath are grow-LEDs for an Ikea Växer based hydroponics garden, controlled to be in sync with sunset and sunrise.
