Ceramic Coffee Dosing Tray - Single Dose Bean Weighing Tray

A coffee dosing tray is the small ceramic dish you weigh beans in before they go into the grinder. The shallow bowl and shaped pouring spout let you tip an exact dose into the grinder in one clean motion, rather than chasing stray beans across the counter.

Why it matters

• Accurate single dosing: Weigh the exact dose you want on a scale, grind all of it, and stop guessing at hopper output.
• Ergonomic pouring spout: The shaped lip funnels beans straight into the grinder throat instead of over the sides.
• Made for RDT: Spritz your beans with a drop of water in the tray before grinding to kill static.
• Ceramic beats plastic here: Ceramic does not build a static charge, so beans and stray grounds do not cling to the surface the way they do to a plastic tray.
• Stable and quiet: Heavier than plastic, so it stays put on the counter while you work.
• Wipes clean: Glazed ceramic does not absorb coffee oils or odours.

How to use it

1. Put the tray on your scale and tare it to zero.
2. Add beans until you hit your dose, typically 18 g for a double shot.
3. If you use RDT, give the beans one light spritz and stir them in the tray.
4. Tip the beans into the grinder using the pouring spout.
5. Wipe the tray dry before the next dose.

Frequently asked questions

What is single dosing in coffee?

Single dosing means weighing out exactly the beans you need for one brew and grinding only those, rather than keeping a full hopper on the grinder. Beans stay fresher, you can switch coffees freely, and every dose is repeatable.

What is a dosing tray used for?

Three jobs: weighing beans on a scale, spritzing them with water for the Ross Droplet Technique, and pouring them cleanly into the grinder. Many people also grind into it to check the grounds for clumps.

Do I need a dosing tray if my grinder has a hopper?

Not strictly, but a tray gives you control a hopper cannot. You can weigh to the gram, avoid stale beans sitting in the hopper for weeks, and change coffees without purging the grinder.

Is ceramic better than plastic for a dosing tray?

For this job, yes. Ceramic is heavier so it stays put, does not generate the static that makes beans and grounds cling, and will not absorb coffee oils over time. Plastic is lighter and harder to break, but static is exactly the problem you are trying to solve.

Can I use a dosing tray for ground coffee too?

Yes. Grinding into the tray lets you inspect the grounds and break up clumps before they go into the portafilter, and the non-static ceramic surface means the grounds actually come back out again.
