      That is because weight is more accurate than volume.

      Volume was previously used because the measuring tools were cheaper and easier to use than a scale.

        It’s more accurate, it dirties fewer dishes, it’s easier to scale recipes for larger or smaller batches, and it’s much easier to fine tune portions. Plus, I make a very consistent coffee. I found something I like a lot, and I want it to be extremely repeatable.

        I do, as a metric person, feel like doing things by volume is way more fun though. And I mean visual volume, no measurements. I’m radical like that.

      I usually use grams to measure things into equal portions, easy maths I can often do in my head.
