minimum dose size?

Jan 31, 2024 |

I use the Hario switch to brew my coffee and am trying to reduce my caffeine consumption. Hence I would like to brew smaller cups of coffee. I am currently using 10g of coffee with 160g of water. (1:16 Ratio) I am wondering if there is a minimum amount of coffee...

Chemex – audibly guided scales. Does this product exist before I try build my own? (More details in comments)

I've got a 6 cup Chemex, that I use about twice daily. Sometimes, just myself, but mostly me and my fiance.

I use a pour-over kettle with a built-in thermometer, and a digital scales to get the pour approximately right.

However, I'm usually brewing while either feeding cats, or responding to work on the laptop, so occasionally I forget to return to pour the next batch of water in, and leave it sat there for a few mins getting cold, or more annoyingly my digital scales goes to sleep, losing the current ml count 🙃

I'm wondering, is there an existing product out there, that would help correct my poor pour habits?

​

As both an amateur home automation + coffee enthusiast, I can picture how I could fashion together a weight sensor kit + some code, into a dedicated Chemex scales.

For example, something like this kit below + a nice wooden enclosure with "🧍" or "🧍🧍" buttons.

And a small display and/or audible beep to tell me when to start/stop pouring (i.e 80ml + 240ml later + 240ml + 240ml for 2 people's worth of water).

Does this kind of product already exist? And if not, am I alone here, or would this not be really useful?

​

Edit: By the way, i'm not looking for research/responses here to validate some business Idea. I'm just wondering am I missing something more obvious/simple that everyone else is doing, or are ye all just intently standing over the Chemex for the 10 mins it takes to brew?
