You can buy cheaper ones on line, however I use the barista smart scales. They are water proof, which is obviously a plus for when working around coffee, and the have a timer built in so you can time your shots (another vital aspect to getting your coffee in the ball park and tweaking flavour).

Ha, that'd be Your So Vain.Originally posted by Barry O'Speedwagon View Post
. And I think one of the lads was the subject of a Carly Simon song that included a dream about having clouds in one's coffee.
Guess the lad, like the subject of Carly's song, will remain a bit of a mystery.
Re the clouds in her coffee, perhaps she wasn't weighing her shots.

Simon came up with the "Clouds in my coffee" line on a cross-country flight. She explained the meaning of the phrase, saying: "Clouds In My Coffee are the confusing aspects of life and love. That which you can't see through, and yet seems alluring... until. Like a mirage that turns into a dry patch. Perhaps there is something in the bottom of the coffee cup that you could read if you could (like tea leaves or coffee grinds)."

The other verses may refer to others and still remain a mystery. As always, there are theories....

True. Another thing, as the beans age the fluffiness decreases.Originally posted by tobeanornottobean View PostOne point worth noting - regarding ratios. If pulling by eye: you can't use a 1:1 relationship between mls and grams. This is because of the fluffiness of the CO2 laden espresso doing its thing. I've found a 40 ml extraction may easily only weigh 20 or so grams.
