02
A cheap digital scale that reads to 0.1g
doesn't need to be fancy, ~$15-20. good for someone who's been eyeballing their dose
03
Bottomless portafilter for their machine
check their basket size first, 54mm/58mm/whatever. ~$40-60, lets them see channeling instead of guessing
04
Puck screen
05
A real distribution tool, not the one that came in the box
redistributes grounds evenly before tamping, ~$20
06
Digital coffee scale with a built-in timer
Acaia is the standard here but pricier (~$70+), cheaper clones do the job fine
07
A dosing funnel
08
A bag of good beans from a roaster they haven't tried
this is the one people forget. ~$20 and it doesn't compete with equipment they already have opinions about
09
A notebook, specifically for dial-in notes
sounds like a joke gift. it's not, i wish someone had given me this a year ago instead of another mug
