Rather than buying sugar pods relatively expensive compared to the price of a kilo of sugar, I preferred to buy this little doser to sweeten my espresso and other beverages. The quality of the metering and elegance await you as well as accuracy. I 'fun' to verify the correct weight of doses distributed via a precision balance and every time I have seen that the weight of distributed sugar was still exactly the same. Note that three dosages are possible by simply replacing three small plastic parts (one is already installed) supplied with the dosing: 1: 4g (a whole sugar pod) 2: 2g 3: 1 g I recommend without hesitation this little device where the purchase price will be quickly recovered in view of the savings by not buying pods.
