B-Black Kit

Making my morning coffee is the routine that sets the tone for the rest of my day. I, therefore, like to use coffee tools that not only function well within that routine but also match the all-black modern aesthetic of my little coffee and espresso nook in my kitchen. This dosing kit matches that form + function requirement perfectly. At first glance, the dosing cup could be mistaken for a piece of modern art (looks a little like the Chicago bean to me) but it's shape is also super functional with a spouted side that corrals beans into the grinder after weighing. The RDT tool stores as an unassuming matte black vertical cylinder but twist the upper and lower sections and a micro droplet sprayer pops up so you can work that anti-static RDT magic on the beans before dropping them in your grinder. It is a bit of joy to start my day off with tools in my coffee routine that work well, are fun to use, and are pretty to look at. They help set a positive mood that ends with a perfect cup of coffee. If you, like me, enjoy the art of making coffee, then this coffee bean dosing kit is a must buy.

Works as expected.

I use this every time. I have to grind my beans and it feels very nice in the hand and very nice when I funnel my beans into my grinder. Just the right size to hold my beans and to clap my hand over to rattle after RDT, glad to have this!

Overall: A solid, affordable option if you need a coffee bean dosing dish. There's a few negative things about it but the positive results far outweigh the negatives. Below is a small list of what I've found while using this. 1. Dosing: If you grind in small batches (<25g), this is the perfect size for you. Most of my measurements are around 20g but sometimes I do large batches of 37.5g and that's when things can get a bit dodgy. Regardless of roast level and bean size, 30g is probably the maximum amount you can put in the dish if you want to be comfortable. Pushing it past it's limits, 37.5g is absolute max for light roast, 35~36g for medium roast (depends on bean size), and 32~34g for dark roast (depends on bean size). 2. Durability: Well built dish if you're privy to dropping things. I store it on the second shelf of a cabinet and it's fallen onto my countertop without chipping or cracking. 3. Water Spray Bottle: I really like this this is included and something that you don't have to buy separately. The atomizer is extremely smooth and dispenses a sufficient amount of water. The capacity is average at about 5oz I believe. It's a twist opening sprayer (super satisfying) and you can remove the bottle from the sleeve by pulling it out after twisting. You have to be very precise with the direction of the nozzle before spraying. Sometimes I swear it's pointed right at the beans and then the nozzle rotates and the water goes anywhere but there. That's my first major reason for four stars. 4. Design: Design is similar to most other dosing dishes but with one major flaw. My main complaint about this product that the beans do not properly disperse from the dish because the dosing end is too narrow. The beans constantly get stuck and shaking/tapping of the dish is almost always necessary. This really becomes a nuisance when you're working with larger doses. FINAL NOTES There's nothing crazy special about this dish that sets it apart from other products but it's more affordable and the water sprayer that's included is probably the best I've used so far. If you do normal dosing sizes (<25g), you won't have any trouble using this dish; other than the beans getting stuck at the dosing end.

Easy to use.

As if I needed yet another thing for my espresso setup, but this two gadgets are great! Nice little ceramic "bowl" to measure beans into as you weigh them, and a fine mist sprayer to lightly mist the beans before grinding. The little bowl allows the beans to spread out a bit to be easier to mist. I find that this process actually does make a difference. If you are persnickety about your puck prep, this is for you!

This dosing cup is a small thing that has made pouring beans into my grinder a lot more controlled. I thought it wouldn't make that much of a difference and bought it on an espresso accessory spending spree. Now it's a must have. I don't use the sprayer because it's really not advised with most espresso dedicated grinders. Adding water is a sure fire way to clog up your grinder. Static should decrease as you grind more.

Todo viene bien empaquetado, nada se rompió en mi caso. No hay instrucciones de cómo sacar la botellita y si es de un vidrio muy delgado así que hay que tener cuidado con eso. Se le da vuelta al plástico negro y cuando ya salió la punta del atomizador se puede jalar hacia arriba el recipiente de vidrio. Ya una vez fuera se desenrosca como botella normal, pero en verdad es tan delgado que recomiendo agarrar el recipiente con un trapo.

This has been an excellent addition to my coffee making routine. I have two hand grinders a Timemore Chestnut C3 Esp Pro and a Kingrinder K4. The problems that I used to have with grounds being retained have been almost completely dealt with. The dosing cup holds the perfect amount to fill each grinder and the shape of the cup really helps transferring beans. The atomiser is very fine and produces a good mist and not large droplets like some of the other offerings I have tried. All in all this is exactly what I was looking for and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

After 2 years doesn't work whilst in its holder any more. I have to take the bottle out of use it direct. Other criticism is that it just doesn't hold enough water. For next one, I will choose another one.

Perfect little add on to my coffee bar. It's accurate to the pictures, great price and the spray bottle is great. Nice little mist and helps with reducing static. I compared a grind with and without the spray and noticed a huge difference (I have the Eureka Mignon Zero grinder). The dosing cup is solid, works great and makes me feel a little fancy when I prepare my beans.
