I&#8217;m now using about 2 g. of coffee per 1 oz. water, and to get that precise measurement, you need a scale.<\/p>\n<p>Lardera&#8217;s scale ($59) is light, portable and doesn&#8217;t take up much counter space. It&#8217;s also very accurate with a sensitivity of 0.1 g.<\/p>\n<p>I use the scale for my pour-over coffee, which allows me to take advantage of the scale&#8217;s auto-timer. It automatically begins timing after you pour the first drop of water and stops once you pick up your brewing equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Another key to making good coffee is to make sure you have the correct size of grounds. Here&#8217;s where the stainless steel Chestnut grinder ($79) comes in. It has multiple grind settings, including pour-over and espresso, that you control using a dial on the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>The compact body has a capacity of 30 g. of beans and is easy to grip. You pour the beans into the top and then attach the handle. When you&#8217;re done grinding, you unscrew the bottom container to get your grounds.<\/p>\n<p>I loved both the Lardera scale and grinder, and I wished they came into my life sooner. Lardera also makes other coffee gear, such as a French press, and it has an exquisite selection of coffee.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the Catuai Anaerobic ($3 for 2 oz., $9 for 6 oz.) from Costa Rica has delightful notes of cherry and passion fruit without going overboard. Meanwhile, the Kenya Washed ($3 for 2 oz., $9 for 6 oz.) from Costa Rica has hints of milk chocolate to it, though I couldn&#8217;t detect any of the described juicy citrus flavor.<\/p>\n<p>All Lardera products can be purchased on its website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been meaning to up my coffee game, and now I can after I accepted offers to review a coffee scale and the Chestnut C2 grinder from Lardera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7449,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[172],"tags":[181],"class_list":["post-7445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-and-beverage","tag-coffee"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7445"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7445\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7451,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7445\/revisions\/7451"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
