With my digital scales, If you set the container on the scale, THEN turn the scale on, it will set itself to zero so you don't have to hit the tare button. I imagine they are all that weigh
Man, if hitting the Tare button is too much effort, you are even lazier than I am.

My espresso scale auto-tares and starts a timer when the espresso starts in the cup.
Pray I never have to make coffee for you...
Ooh, fancy. So, it tells you how much coffee is in the cup? Why? I would have only expected it to weigh the ground beans.

More a matter of efficiency. One less button to push. And since the bowl is there anyway, might as well set it on the scale.
Plus it's handy when I am reloading and the scale has shut off. Just hit the power button with the powder scoop on the scale and it zeroes itself.

Yeah, but it's just so much easier to set the bowl/container onto the scale while it's off, then just turn it on. Voila! Automatically sets itself to zero. Why go through the steps of turning it on, then picking up the bowl, then setting it onto the scale, then hitting a button again? When all you have to do is set the bowl on the scale, turn it on, you're done.Man, if hitting the Tare button is too much effort, you are even lazier than I am.

But you make sure to not put anything on the scale that doesn't need taring, before you weigh it, right?
Otherwise you might find you've a 250 gr steak that weighs nothing.

He would survive. He's had coffee made in military cantinas.
It presses water through the carefully measured and ground beans. Don't want to get too little or too much water, do you?
It does. My current espresso recipe is 15g beans to 32g final in cup. I like that in 32 to 35 seconds.

That would also mean your steak has no calories and 0 grams of fat.

I'm lucky if I can find a coffee shop where I live that doesn't have a sour tasting expresso, they really have no clue imo.
I find the current coffee can get sour when I am in the lower 20s in time with a properly prepared puck.
A lot of places these days are going for lighter and lighter roasts for espresso, but I am more traditional in taste and like a bit darker. Lighter roasts can be harder to get right.
