I was gifted a Fellow Stagg EKG electric kettle for xmas.
Amazing! not sure why I took so long to buy one. I would go for the grinder but I heard not so good reviews/feedback about the level of fine it can grind. |

I haven't been in Italy in 20 years so I can't speak to that, BUT many of the new commercial machines have scales built into the drip trays, e.g. La Marzocco KB/strada/PB series. Also using low retention grinders w. autodosing. The scales are there, it may just not be as obvious.

I've got a cheap scale. It's not waterproof and the display is a little wonky because a little water got in there and affected it, but it's still readable. I was always wondering how accurate the scale was though, so I bought a set of calibration weights off of Amazon. The scale is spot on. IMO, you don't need to spend a lot of $$ on a scale, and a lot of them are quite pricey and not worth the money. Water resistance is nice though.

Got a Nespresso for x-mas, which has helped me to reduce my daily intake from 10+ cups to < 5 cups.

If I run an extra 5 g of water through the same 18g puck. I'll pull off bitters I rather not have. In addition, all this weighing, timing of shots...etc, simply turns almost any barista into a half-way decent one by removing as many variable from their hands as possible, ones that an experienced barista will have internalized.

Outside of espresso, have you ever seen pour over being made in somewhere like Blue Bottle? They have scales built into the counter. Or Verve, or Intelligentsia or any other third wave coffee shop. They'll all absolutely use scales of some kind. Edit: Oops got beaten to it by crankles. Last edited by jkbrwn; 01-07-2022 at 11:41 AM. |

I said much earlier I don't use a scale because I like to taste the coffee a tad different from the last. |

I toyed with getting a Nespresso machine for Christmas, but
ended up just buying a new rubber plunger for my Aeropress, as well as an Aeropress travel model. I did get a new Peugeot hand grinder. Interestingly, Peugeot made pepper and coffee grinders well before they ever made a Bicycle or car. The Peugeot grinder is for home use, I still have my beat up but still functional GSI Java Mill for coffee outside. After about 10 years of using Aeropress coffee makers, I’m still in love with the simplicity and quality of coffee I get out of mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

weight vs time
I dial in new beans, getting the pressure, amount of grind and times are correct.
Then, I just use time of grinding and my eyeball for the amount. My timed grinds are within 1 gram of the new bean validations. Would I get better results if I get a scale? |
