Single Dosing: Weigh Coffee Beans and Choose Your Routine

Do you weigh out one portion of coffee beans for every brew? With single dosing, you prepare each serving separately instead of keeping the bean hopper full. Geert-Jan de Baristaman helps you decide which tools really add value: a tray for transferring beans, a spray for static cling and a suitable way to store the remaining beans. You order the featured affiliate products from Barista Essentials.

Weigh your beans and espresso

Pour beans neatly over

Less static cling

Store other coffee beans

Choose a small routine that you can repeat

Geert-Jan de Baristaman's advice: first consider what you want to measure and which step is currently proving difficult. A dosing cup makes it easier to move beans, but it does not weigh them. An RDT spray can help reduce static cling, but is only suitable if your grinder manufacturer allows lightly dampened beans. A storage container supports your storage routine; the age and roast of your beans still matter.

Single dosing is not the most convenient way of working for everyone. If you brew a lot of coffee in succession or your machine is designed for a filled hopper, a different routine may be more convenient. Do not choose accessories to solve a problem you do not experience. If you want to understand more about dosing, grind size and extraction, Geert-Jan's online training courses are a practical next step alongside the tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Collapsible row

For each preparation, you weigh out a single portion of coffee beans and grind them immediately. This means you are not continuously working from a large supply of beans in the hopper. Whether this works well for you depends on your grinder and routine.

Collapsible row

No. A spray is primarily a possible addition when static cling is problematic. Only use RDT if your grinder manufacturer allows slightly damp beans. You can also weigh out each dose without a spray.

A tray is a wide container used for weighing, preparing, and pouring over whole beans. Depending on the design, a dosing cup can also hold ground coffee or attach to your filter holder. Check the application and size of the specific product.

This is mainly determined by the grinder and the way it doses. A machine with automatic dosing or a hopper for multiple cups may require a different approach. Check the manufacturer's instructions before changing your procedure.
