Dose consistency

Also known as repeatable dose · consistencia de dosis · dosis repetible

What it is and what sets it apart: Without a stable dose dial-in is useless. Weight rules—not basket fill look.

At the bar: Scale on portafilter or dosing cup → target ±0.1–0.2 g → correct grinder retention/purge.

Impact on the drink: Impact: predictable time and taste; fewer random strong/sour shots.

Technical notes: Set house dose (e.g. 18.0 g). Recheck after burr cleaning.

Common mistakes: Dosing by eye. Ignoring retention. Changing baskets without retargeting.
