  • I’ve got another dumb coffee question. I have a gaggia grinder and I put the portafilter underneath to dispense the coffee. Is there a way to get the grinder to dispense a specific amount of coffee?

    Pulling the lever the amount of coffee dispensed is very hit and miss.

  • Unless you single dose and grind only what you weigh before hand, not really. There are of course grinders will built in dosing mechanisms but they are on the pricier side.

  • Is there no timer function? I'd advise against single-dosing unless you're confident in how little coffee is retained in the grinder as most (especially those with dosing chambers) will retain a few g of coffee.

  • Is there a way to get the grinder to dispense a specific amount of coffee?

    The only way I have found to do this is put a specific amount of coffee in the grinder and then grind until empty.

    I tried timed grinds but that wasn't consistent enough for what I wanted.
