Three Tools for the Step Before Grinding
Single dosing means weighing exactly what you're about to grind rather than filling a hopper and hoping. This kit covers that step: a ceramic tray to weigh on, a walnut spoon to scoop with, and a spray bottle for beans that need it.
Ceramic Weighing Tray
A stable surface that sits flat on the scale, holding up to 40g — enough for any espresso dose and most filter doses. The shape lets you pour beans into the grinder without spilling.
Walnut Measuring Spoon
Roughly 10g capacity, for moving beans from the bag or canister to the tray without handling them. Walnut rather than plastic, so it looks like part of the setup rather than an afterthought.
Spray Bottle — and When You Actually Need It
The spray bottle exists for RDT (the Ross Droplet Technique): a light mist on the beans before grinding, which stops static from scattering grounds across the counter.
Worth knowing: if your grinder has a built-in plasma generator — as the DF series does — static is already neutralised and you don't need RDT at all. The spray bottle is for grinders without static control, which still covers most hand grinders and many older electric models.
Why Weigh at All
An extra gram of coffee changes extraction time, and extraction time changes flavour. If you've ever had two shots from the same bag taste completely different, inconsistent dosing is the most likely reason.
Weighing takes five seconds and removes a whole category of variables.
Care
Ceramic and glass wash normally. Wipe the walnut spoon rather than soaking it — wood and prolonged water don't get along.
