Questions people ask

Does a coffee scale work for cooking too?
Yes, it can weigh any ingredient. It often holds less than a standard kitchen scale, so check the maximum weight.
Why use a scale instead of a coffee scoop?
How much coffee fits in a scoop depends on the bean size and roast. Weighing gives the same amount every time.
