Abstract
A coffee-measurement apparatus (60) and related methods for precisely measuring and displaying the weight of ground coffee to be used for preparing espresso shots and espresso-based beverages. The coffee-measurement apparatus (60) includes a portafilter platform (80) positionable directly below an output portion (116) of a coffee-grinding apparatus (100). The portafilter platform (80) is coupled to a weight-measurement device (20) as well as to a display (66) so the net weight of the ground coffee in a basket (52) of a portafilter (50) resting on the portafilter platform may be measured and displayed. In some embodiments, the coffee-measurement apparatus (60) may be configured to automatically start the coffee-grinding mechanism (130) of the coffee-grinding apparatus (100) and to stop it when a desired weight of ground coffee has been dispensed into the basket (52) by utilizing an electronic connection and/or an electromechanical actuator (140) communicatively coupled to the coffee-measurement apparatus (60).
