This solution of tasting and appreciation of coffee is much more environmentally friendly and Eco-friendly but actually uses slightly more ground cafe in a capsule Nespresso®* compatible which, in turn, conserves natural resource…

In short, if you have opted for an espresso machine, here is the clarification on the questions that you ask.

As we know, an espresso machine automatic grain can be very precisely adjusted. The weight varies depending on the intensity, the size and strength of your cup.

But we believe that a cup of espresso with espresso beans composed of an average of 10 grams of espresso.

1KG = 1’000 G of coffee / 10GR = 100 cafes in moy.

In other words, with a kilo of cafe beans, one achieves 100 coffees, using an automatic machine.

According to the setting made, the basis weight may be less important and get off at 8 grams per cup. Therefore, in our calculation:

1 KG = 1’000 G of coffee / 8GR = 125 cafes avg.

How to measure coffee

Every lover of a fragrant freshly brewed drink certainly wondered how to measure coffee. It would seem that there are instructions on the package. But the wording “1-3 spoons per cup” is difficult to understand anything specific.

Cups, I must say, are different, and in a spoon can fit a different amount of ground grains. First of all, of course, you should consider the size of the cup. For a miniature “thimble” is enough and one spoon. But if the cup is large, then you need just three.

And how to measure coffee if the required amount is exactly 7 grams, and there is no kitchen scale at hand?

Naturally, at home, people use a teaspoon for this purpose.

Let’s make a reservation right away! Next we will talk specifically about medium-ground cafe. Since this characteristic also affects the ratio of weight and volume of powder.

So, in a teaspoon filled to the brim, pour 3 — 4 grams of cafe. If you scoop up ground grains, as they say, with a hill, then their weight can reach 6, or even 7 grams. Sometimes there may be problems with the spoons themselves.

The fact is that differences in design can affect the amount of ground cafe that fits in a spoon.

How to measure cafe if you are not sure that the volume of your teaspoon is standard?

It offers a not very elegant, but effective solution-take a regular matchbox. With its volume, there will be no surprises.

A matchbox filled with a slide is the perfect 7 grams for espresso.
