Summary

A dosing cup is a container used to collect freshly ground coffee from a grinder before transferring it to the espresso basket (portafilter). Typically made of stainless steel or plastic, dosing cups help minimize mess, reduce waste, and ensure consistent coffee dosing. They are designed to fit snugly over the espresso basket, allowing baristas to easily transfer the coffee grounds without spillage. Some dosing cups also feature anti-static properties to prevent coffee grounds from clinging to the sides. Overall, they streamline the espresso preparation process, enhancing both precision and cleanliness.
