In the craft of coffee making, it all comes down to precision. A coffee scale is used to ensure that the right quantities of both coffee beans and water are measured out accurately thereby leading to a good quality and uniformity of each cup brewed. This article discusses why accuracy and precision in scales are important when brewing coffee.

When it comes to measuring the strength or intensity of coffee, there are a few different scales that are commonly used. The most popular scale is the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) coffee strength scale, which ranges from 0 to 100. This scale takes into account factors such as extraction percentage and coffee-to-water ratio to determine the strength of a cup of coffee.
