The barista in Portland made me ditch my scale for good

Tbh, I watched her pull 4 shots at Heart Coffee last month just eyeballing the grind and dose, and every one tasted better than my perfectly weighed 18.2 grams at home, so has anyone else ditched the numbers after seeing a pro work by feel?

Ha, funny you say that. I gave up the scale after I worked at a shop for a summer and just learned to feel the grind and dose by hand, and honestly my home shots got way better too.
