This is good advice, but every so often I’ll screw up and put some grounds in before I think to tare the scale, so what I’ve done is put a little label on my French press that says how many grams it weighs when empty. That way, if I find myself in that situation, I can do the math of how much the press and grounds should all weigh together.
Put the vessel on the balance and tare every time you finish including an ingredient. Always start on zero, don’t bother with the math.
