Why this helps make better coffee

You fill the filter basket with ground coffee, tamp the coffee down and turn on the machine. Yesterday your espresso tasted nice, but today it is sharp, thin or bitter. Yet it seems as though you have done exactly the same thing.

The problem is that small differences are barely visible. A slightly fuller filter basket contains more coffee. Brewing for a few seconds longer gives more espresso in your cup. And when you only look at the height of the coffee, the layer of foam on top also counts. That layer can vary per coffee and brewing session.

Because of this, you easily compare two espressos that are less alike than you think. Then you adjust your grinder, use a little more coffee or stop the machine earlier. If you change several things at once, it becomes difficult to discover which adjustment actually helps.

Something similar happens with filter coffee. A scoop of coffee is not a fixed amount and filling a water jug by eye makes your recipe difficult to repeat. If you want to understand why one cup tastes stronger or more pleasant than the other, it helps to first make visible what you use and what you do.

A coffee scale makes three important aspects of your espresso measurable:

  • How much ground coffee you use.This is your dose: the weight of the coffee in the filter basket.
  • How much espresso you brew.This is your yield: the weight of the coffee in your cup.
  • How long it takes to brew.This is your brew time: the time you record during brewing using a consistent method.

By looking at these figures together, you can make fairer comparisons. If you use the same amount of coffee each time and stop at the same coffee weight, it becomes clearer what an adjustment to your grinder does.

For example: you use 18 grams of ground coffee and brew 36 grams of espresso. You are then making about two grams of coffee per gram of coffee. That is a ratio of 1 to 2. It is a useful starting point for many double espressos, but not a mandatory recipe for every bean or filter basket.

The timer then helps you record how long that recipe takes. If the same amount of espresso suddenly takes much less or more time, you have a clue to check your method. After that, you taste whether an adjustment actually works better.

Do you want to understand how weight, time, and taste are connected? In The 3 Golden Rules of Espressoyou will learn how to use those measurements to make more targeted adjustments.

With filter coffee, you use weighing to maintain the ratio between ground coffee and brewed water. The timer helps you compare the course of your preparation. The same applies there: measuring gives you a point of reference, but tasting determines whether the recipe suits your coffee and preferences.

More guidance when weighing and comparing, so you can more effectively work towards an espresso that suits your taste.

Who is this suitable for?

This scale is a logical starting point for home baristas who want to stop dosing and tamping by feel.

You are starting to make espresso

You don't need to know complicated recipes yet. Start with the weight of your ground coffee, the weight of your espresso, and the time it takes. This will help you establish a method that you can repeat next time.

Your espresso varies for no apparent reason

If you use roughly the same amount of coffee every time, you don't yet know whether the amount actually remains consistent. Weighing helps you rule out that difference before you adjust your grinder again.

You want to adjust your coffee grinder more precisely

The grind size determines how finely or coarsely your grinder grinds the beans. With consistent weights and a measured brewing time, you can better track what a small change to that setting does.

You are looking for simple operation

This version is suitable for someone who wants to track the weight and time themselves and operate the timer manually. You don't need an automatic measuring function for that.

You also want to weigh outside the machine

You can weigh your coffee on the counter, provided that the cup or portafilter used stands stably on the weighing surface. For weighing during espresso preparation, there must also be enough space on the drip tray and under the spout.

For whom is this not necessary?

You are looking for an automatic timer start

This is the basic version with a manually operated timer. If you want the timer to be activated automatically, first compare the versions in the coffee scale overview. Automatic operation is mainly a choice for convenience; you do not need that function to learn to work with fixed weights.

You have little space under the spout

A scale may fit on the drip tray, while your favorite cup no longer fits on top of it. Therefore, measure the entire combination. In case of limited space, also check the mini coffee scaleand check the current dimensions before choosing.

You already have a well-functioning scale

If you can already reliably track your coffee and drink weight and have a usable timer, then a new scale is not automatically your most useful purchase. More insight into your recipe can then yield more than an extra device.

You expect that weighing will solve the taste automatically

This scale does not change your coffee beans, grind, or brewing temperature. It helps you measure. To understand that data and apply it meaningfully, Start with Espresso Under Controlcan be a better first step.

Does this fit your machine, routine or use?

  • Compatibility

    A coffee scale does not need to be connected to your espresso machine. Whether you can use it while brewing depends mainly on the available space.

    Check three things before ordering:

    1. The space on the drip tray.The scale must be able to stand flat and stable. Allow for a size of 183 Γ— 129 mm.
    2. The height under the spout.The scale is 27 mm high. Your cup must fit above that, with enough space to place and remove it without bumping into anything.
    3. The accessibility of the display and buttons.You must be able to read the weight and operate the timer while brewing your espresso.

    Measure with the cup you actually intend to use. A low espresso cup may fit where a taller cappuccino cup leaves too little room. If you have two cups, also check that both stand stably and catch the espresso properly.

    If you want to place the portafilter on the scale to weigh ground coffee, check that it stays in place without support. Do not hold it with your hand during the measurement: this will affect the measured weight.

    No fit for a specific machine model is guaranteed here. If the drip tray is small or there is little height, it is wise to also compare it with the mini coffee scale.

Advice from Geert-Jan the Barista Man

With over 10 years of experience in providing barista workshops at home, at businesses, and in Amsterdam, Geert-Jan is happy to share his advice.

Who is Geert-Jan?

From practice:

Geert-Jan de Baristaman explains why weighing helps: you can only make targeted comparisons when you know how much coffee you use and how much espresso you make with it.

My advice:

My advice: choose this scale if you are looking for a simple foundation to track coffee, espresso, and brewing time together. Especially if you currently fill the filter basket by eye and the machine stops as soon as your cup seems full enough, this will provide you with useful information.

Then start small. Choose an amount of coffee that fits your filter basket, keep it consistent, and decide at what beverage weight you will stop. Record the time and taste. You don't need to come up with a new recipe for every espresso.

Only buy this version if it fits well under the spout with your cup and you want to operate the timer yourself. A smaller version may be more convenient when space is limited. Automatic timing can be useful, but it won't make your recipe better on its own.

Do you already have a useful scale and your espressos keep varying? Then first invest in understanding what you are measuring. The 3 Golden Rules of Espressodirectly relate to working with coffee weight, beverage weight, and time.

If there are still many clumps in the coffee after grinding, a WDT toolcan additionally help to distribute the ground coffee. Such a tool has a different purpose than the scale: weighing controls the quantity, distributing helps you prepare the coffee bed. Therefore, you do not need to purchase both right away.

Here's how to use this in your coffee routine

A barista tool only really works well when you know where it fits into your routine.

Get into the routine:

Weighing

Usage:

Weighing

Geert-Jan's tip:

Write down three pieces of data: grams of ground coffee, grams of espresso, and elapsed time. Then add one brief taste note, such as β€œsharply acidic,” β€œdry and bitter,” or β€œpleasantly balanced.”

Time alone does not tell the whole story. An espresso of 20 grams in 28 seconds is a different recipe than 40 grams in the same amount of time. By also recording the weights, you avoid treating different preparations as being the same.

Use the same beans and the same cups in your next attempt. This makes comparison clearer and prevents you from changing too many things at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Digitale koffie weegschaal met timer en 0,1g precisie voor barista’s en koffieliefhebbers.

Should I buy this scale from De Barista Shop or Barista Essentials?

You buy this scale from Barista Essentials. The button takes you to their store, where you can check the current price and availability and place your order.

The Barista Shop provides information and guidance to help you choose. Payment, shipping, delivery, returns, warranty and any complaints about the purchase are handled by Barista Essentials. You can also view their current return policy and information about the right of withdrawal there.

Why is there an affiliate link for this scale?

This link allows Barista Essentials to recognize that you have been referred by De Barista Shop. You do not pay any extra for this. De Barista Shop may receive a commission when you subsequently place an order.

No price guarantee is made for ordering via this link. Check the current product price, any discounts, and shipping costs on the Barista Essentials website before checking out.

Will this scale fit under my espresso machine?

That depends on the space on your drip tray and the height between the drip tray and the spout. Measure both before ordering.

The stated dimensions are 183 Γ— 129 Γ— 27 mm. When calculating the height of the scale, also add the height of your cup and leave enough space to be able to move the cup.

Also check that the scale sits flat and that you can use the display and the buttons. Simply confirming that it fits on the drip tray is therefore not enough.

Do you have little space? Then also compare the mini coffee scale.

Does the timer start automatically, and do I need to insert batteries?

With this basic model, you operate the timer yourself. Start it when you begin brewing with your machine and use the same start time for every attempt.

You do not need to insert separate batteries. Barista Essentials recommends charging this scale using the included USB-C cable. The battery compartment therefore does not mean that you need to purchase batteries first.

Are you looking for automatic timing instead? Then compare the different models in the coffee scale overview.

When would it be better to do something else first than buy this scale?

If you already have a scale that works well for weighing your coffee and espresso, you don't need to replace it right away. A separate timer may be enough to start practicing with fixed recipes.

Are you mainly unsure what to do with the measured weights and times? Then start with Espresso Under Controlor dive straight into The 3 Golden Rules of Espresso.

If this version doesn't fit well under your machine, choose a more suitable size first. And if you lack options for adjusting your grind, don't expect a scale to solve that limitation. It makes visible what is happening, but it does not do the work for your grinder or machine.
