Mini Espresso Scale

When dose and yield are guesses, espresso changes from one morning to the next. A full-size kitchen scale rarely fits under the portafilter or on the drip tray, so the weighing step gets skipped.

This mini espresso scale is sized for a tight coffee bar. Weigh the ground coffee going into the basket, tare, then set the cup on the platform and weigh the shot as it pulls. The small footprint leaves room around the machine instead of crowding it.

It suits home baristas working toward a repeatable recipe on a compact setup. Set it on a flat counter, tare before each weigh, and wipe up any drips straight away.
