Brewing Consistently Great Coffee: Why Using a Scale Improves Your Brew

Brewing Consistently Great Coffee: Why Using a Scale Improves Your Brew

Do you ever wonder how you can brew the perfect cup of coffee at home? While a "perfect" cup differs depending on who you talk to, what we can say for certain is that a coffee scale is an indispensable sidekick to have with you on your journey to brewing coffee that is perfect for you. ☕️

Here are some reasons why we love brewing with a coffee scale:

  • Consistency: A coffee scale helps us maintain consistent coffee and water ratios. This is especially helpful when we are following specific recipes.
  • Control: By knowing exactly how much coffee and water we're using, we can make slight adjustments to dial in our brew.
  • Precision: Precise measurements ensure that we are using the correct amount of coffee for the amount of water, which ultimately affects the extraction and flavour.
  • Reproducibility: When we find a coffee-to-water ratio we love, a coffee scale can help us repeat that brew every time.
  • Experimentation: With a scale, we can easily experiment with different brewing methods and techniques. Who knows — you might just surprise yourself when you use a coffee scale!
