What is a grind by weight grinder?

It is a grinder with a built-in scale that stops grinding once it reaches your set dose, so you get the same weight every time.

Is grind by weight better than grind by time?

It is more consistent, because the dose does not change when you adjust the grind or change beans. Grind by time is simpler and usually cheaper.

Do I still need coffee scales?

Not for dosing the grounds. Many home baristas still use scales to weigh the espresso in the cup.

Are grind by weight grinders good for filter coffee?

Yes. The Fiorenzato AllGround Sense covers both espresso and filter grind sizes.

Do you service these grinders?

Yes. We service every grinder we sell, including burr replacements, in our Adelaide workshop.

We ship Australia-wide at a flat rate of $9.95. Orders over $1,000 ship free.

Grind by Weight Coffee Grinders

Grind by weight coffee grinders have a scale built in, so they stop grinding at your exact target dose. Set 18 grams and you get 18 grams, every time, with no separate scales or guesswork. Unlike grind by time grinders, which run for a set number of seconds, a grind by weight grinder adjusts automatically for changes in grind size, bean density and roast, so your dose stays consistent from the first shot of the bag to the last. That consistency is the key to dialling in espresso and repeating a great shot day after day. Our range includes the Eureka Mignon Libra and the Fiorenzato AllGround Sense, both popular with home baristas who want precision without extra steps. Not sure if grind by weight is right for you? Our grinder types guide explains how it compares. Every grinder we sell is serviced by our Adelaide workshop, and shipping is $9.95 Australia-wide.

Grind by weight or grind by time?

A grind by time grinder is simple and great value, but the dose can drift as you change the grind setting or open a new bag. A grind by weight grinder measures as it grinds, so you never need to recalibrate the timer. It suits home baristas who weigh their shots and want the most repeatable results.

Pair it with the right machine

A precise dose pairs best with a machine that holds a stable temperature, such as a dual boiler or PID controlled machine. See our machine and grinder bundles for matched pairs, or book a free demo to try a grind by weight grinder in our Torrensville showroom.
