Coffee scale with timer

The Importance of a coffee scale with timer

When I (Jasper) first started as a home barista, I thought I didn’t need a coffee scale. I would just fill up my portafilter basket and then be unpleasantly surprised by the taste of the coffee.

It wasn’t until I started weighing my beans and my espresso that I understood why this is such an essential step for making great coffee at home.

With a coffee scale, you can be sure you’re working with the right amount of ground coffee (18 grams) and espresso (36 grams).

Only then can you start adjusting your grind until you find the perfect extraction time.
Every time you order new beans, or you switch between single and double shots, you’ll need to readjust your grinder.

That’s what makes an espresso scale with timer a must-have basic tool for brewing delicious coffee at home.
