I’ve only just begun home brewing coffee and have been looking around for a little help, so thank you for the informative post. I hadn’t really considered using a scale to measure the amount of coffee I use, but you do bring up some great points. I really like the one about being able to brew consistent batches of coffee. I guess the next step for me is going to have to be finding a reliable scale!
We recommend the Hario scale pictured above! Sturdy, portable, definitely reliable. http://www.lacolombe.com/collections/brewing-equipment/products/hario-scale
