Great coffee at home starts with a coffee scale.
When I (Jasper) first started as a home barista, I honestly just filled up my portafilter with ground coffee and hoped for the best. As you can imagine, not with the best results. Then Hugo explained the basic coffee recipe to me, and I finally understood why a coffee scale is essential for making espresso at home. Knowing how much coffee beans you use, your brew time, and how much espresso you produce allows you to dial in your grinder. That’s how you take control of your coffee’s flavor and quality!
Why this is our go-to coffee scale:
From day one at Barista-Essentials, this scale has been our reliable companion – no fuss, just a decent coffee scale that gets the job done!
- Everything fits: You can place your portafilter on the scale, as well as two cups for a double espresso.
- Simple to use: With clear buttons, the scale is easy to use without any instructions needed.
- Does what it’s supposed to do: With 0.1-gram precision, you can weigh your coffee to stay in full control of your espresso.
New beans? No problem!
Every bean is different, so make sure to adjust your settings when you switch beans. But it’s not just new beans that need attention – as your beans age, you’ll also need to adjust your grind size to maintain the flavor of your coffee. In both cases, this coffee scale is essential.
If you need a bit more guidance or certainty, try our specialty coffee. It comes with brew recommendations and a basic recipe to get the most out of your beans.
