La Marzocco Pico Grind-by-Weight Kit – Portafilter holder for the Connected Scale
The Pico grinds, the scale weighs along, and at the set target weight the grinder stops by itself. For this, the La Marzocco Connected Scale sits on the Pico. This kit is the holder that keeps the portafilter stable on the scale while grinding.
The kit is a La Marzocco accessory for the Pico. The scale is not included. Scale and grinder are paired via the La Marzocco app, where you also set the target dose.

Frequently asked questions
Is the scale included in the kit?
No. Grind-by-weight only works with the La Marzocco Connected Scale, which is sold separately.
Do I need the kit for grind-by-weight?
No. Grind-by-weight also works with a dosing cup on the scale. You need the kit if you want to grind directly into the portafilter.
How is grind-by-weight set up?
You pair the Pico and the Connected Scale in the La Marzocco app and place the scale on the Pico. In the app you set the target dose; when it is reached, the grinder stops.
Does the kit fit other grinders?
We carry it for the La Marzocco Pico. For other grinders we check the fit in advance, write to us at [email protected].
Tip from the roastery: We weigh both, the dose when grinding and the espresso in the cup, with 1:2 as a starting point. To start dialling in, we recommend from our coffee roastery Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight, and for more body Very Nutty. That is our recommendation, one of many.
