Le?Xpress Stainless Steel Coffee Measuring Scoop

This is the second one I've ordered as my brother kept harping on about how much he liked my first one, so I gave it to him to stop having to hear a repetition of the same declaration ever again when he visited. The scoop and it's stem are exactly 6'' ( 153 mm ) in length being just right for my sealable coffee canister, which is never more than half full with the typical volume of the coffee sold in pouches in my local supermarket ( the one beginning with 'W' that actually does sell good ground coffee). It is sturdily made in stainless steel so lending itself to a very practical, non-tarnishing, and long lasting life of service. As a piece of advice about buying one of these over one of those which come with a clip to attach to resealable pouches, I can only state that in my experience the clips break and most of the pouches look unsightly anyway. Get a nice canister ( there are some with lovely visual designs on Amazon ) and get this nice spoon too.Eamonn

Mine was nicely made and finished. It is important to use this hemispherical spoon shape rather than an ordinary spoon for measuring out coffee. They both hold 15 ml of liquid because liquid will always be level. When measuring coffee a conventional domestic flatter surface spoon will hold much more coffee (or any other powder) when heaped, as follows. This spoon holds 8 g of coffee when level and 11 g when heaped. However a conventional standard domestic tablespoon will hold 5 g of coffee when level and a whopping 22 g of coffee when heaped. The massive variation is due to the larger surface area of the conventional spoon. Clearly there is much greater consistency in measuring when using a hemispherical spoon that is designed and made for solids rather as well as liquids.

Nice spoon for measuring out my coffee for my new coffee filter machine. I like the shape and design, the handle is not too long so it fits easily in the storage container I use for my coffee grounds too. I like having a designated measuring spoon for this purpose (although obviously any reasonably sized spoon would do at a pinch) so am pleased with my purchase.

This measuring spoon looks much nicer in the flash than the photo indicates, nice enough to sit on top of the coffee maker rather than hidden in a drawer. The depth and shape of the scoop allows for a good measure of coffee with no spillage and the steepness of the sides allows a heaped measure if preferred.

A coffee scoop that touches the divine. The platonic ideal of coffee scoops.
