In my attempts towards maximum consistency between shots, I ordered a digital weigh scale today. I plan on using it to try and calibrate the doser on my grinder, as well as determining (and controlling) exactly how much coffee I’m loading up into my portafilters.

The scale that I ordered is from http://www.dealextreme.com – I’m certainly not expecting great things for the whopping $11.00 that the scale is priced at, and I don’t anticipate using the scale for a very long time. Any digital scales that I’ve been able to locate around town have been anywhere from around $40 to $100.

Will post here how it works once I receive it (be interesting to see how long it takes – they also had a really cheap fm transmitter that I ordered as well).
