The Bench Mat: Espresso Station Mat with Built-In Dial-In Reference (45x30cm)

The mat your espresso bench has been improvising without. 45x30cm of espresso-dark silicone that catches the grounds, the drips, and the knock, with the dial-in reference embossed right where you look mid-shot.

What is on it:

• An embossed reference strip along the front edge: ratio 1:2, 18g in, 36g out, 25 to 30 seconds, 90 to 96C water. The same starting point our free dial-in cheat sheet teaches, molded into the mat so it never gets lost under the grinder.
• A molded scale square that marks where your scale sits, so the cup lands in the same spot every shot.
• 45x30cm, fits under a machine and grinder side by side on a standard counter.
• Food-grade silicone: we verify the supplier's material test report before the first batch ships, and we will publish it.
• Wipes clean in one pass, machine edges stop sliding, counters stop scarring.

Who this is for: anyone pulling shots at home on a bare counter or a sad towel. Who it is not for: pod-machine setups with nothing to dial in; save the money.
