Blog2026 ≫ Weighed my coffee for the first time in ages

Just revisiting old coffee data, I blew the dust off the scales to see how much coffee I was really using I used to do this all the time! I have been saying I use about 17g of coffee per cup but it was really 14g. This will really change my coffee cost per cup stats. I should revisiting this regularly just for that.

Now will I have the same issue I had with the run stats were a table creates html that is too wide for phones? I think this is fine 1...

After this coffee based excitement we're walking to Hythe so T2 can give the cricket club a try. I would rather be going there for a boot fair. Boot fairs never really came back after covid did they?

Trimming historical results here now just keeping a week's worth of data.

Coffee ☕️ Gator scales 7 for weighing.

Sunny intervals and a gentle breeze, 7 - 14℃.

Guessing 3172 cups of actual coffee from my espresso machine 7 probably comes to 79.1p per cup (including 4+ years of the actual coffee and servicing 7 so not the 'leccy).

  1. Nah, it's not fine.
  2. grind size
  3. grind time (seconds)
  4. ground coffee (grammes)
  5. espresso expressed (grammes)
  6. express time (seconds)
