Dosing Tools

Achieve consistent quality espresso every time with the right barista tools. Coffee Grinders can sometimes be inconsistent with coffee dosing volume, clumps and particle size. There are lots of variables when preparing coffee and with the right barista tools you can eliminate some and provide consistent results.

Weighing coffee doses is a great way to replicate results and stick to a specific recipe. Dosing cups can assist in transferring coffee grounds from the grinder to the portafilter. Although dosing cups are not a necessity for preparing espresso they can be a great tool for workflow and reducing mess or overflow from the grinder so your coffee doses are consistent. A very popular tool is the Clump Crusher also known as a WDT Tool. This tool will break up any clumps of coffee ground and evenly distribute the coffee grounds in the portafilter basket. Lots of great results have been reported from using the WDT tool compared to not distributing the coffee grounds.

Espresso Puck Screens can also assist in even espresso extractions. It is best to taste your coffee while eliminating different variables and evaluate which taste best. With so many barista tools available, espresso making can get quite overwhelming. Always remember to stop, evaluate your coffee by your preferred taste.
