Espresso scale

Also known as espresso scale · báscula de portafiltro · shot scale · Acaia-style scale

What it is and what sets it apart: Unlike slow kitchen scales: low latency, drip-tray size, often flow/time. Home dial-in tool.

What it’s for and how to use it: Tare cup → extract to target yield → log time vs dose.

Cup impact or benefit: Repeatable shots; some models flag odd flow.

Technical notes: Splash-resistant; use a mat; calibrate.

Common mistakes: Starting without tare. Changing grind without watching yield.
