    That is because weight is more accurate than volume.

    Volume was previously used because the measuring tools were cheaper and easier to use than a scale.

      It’s more accurate, it dirties fewer dishes, it’s easier to scale recipes for larger or smaller batches, and it’s much easier to fine tune portions. Plus, I make a very consistent coffee. I found something I like a lot, and I want it to be extremely repeatable.

      I do, as a metric person, feel like doing things by volume is way more fun though. And I mean visual volume, no measurements. I’m radical like that.

        I feel that you are the type of person that is responsible for recipes with instructions like “knead until it feels right” or “make in the usual way” 😜

          My favourite recipes are 100 years or older. They usually aren’t very instructive.
