Pescara Measuring Spoon
The dose, weighed by hand.
- 8-10 g per scoop: One level scoop is about a tablespoon of whole beans.
- No lacquer to peel: Unfinished walnut builds a patina that deepens over time.
- Comfortable grip: The wide fish-tail handle eases your thumb as you scoop.
- Hangs within reach: A genuine leather loop, so it never gets lost in a drawer.
Black walnut handle, stainless steel scoop, a small leather loop at the end. The Pescara Spoon weighs by volume the way a baker weighs by feel, repeatable enough, beautiful enough to hang.

Care & maintenance
Walnut is dense and oily, naturally resistant to decay. Treat it gently and it outlasts the grinder.
- Hand wash only: Warm water, mild soap if needed, dry immediately. The dishwasher warps wood and strips its natural oils.
- Oil occasionally: Once every few months, rub a drop of food-grade mineral oil or walnut oil into the wood. This keeps it from drying out and deepens the color.
- No soaking: Extended exposure to water swells the grain and can crack the bowl. Rinse, wipe, done.
- Leather care: The lanyard darkens with handling. If it gets wet, let it air-dry naturally, heat dries it brittle.
Frequently asked
Does one Pescara walnut scoop make one cup of coffee?
Roughly. It holds 15 ml, about one level tablespoon or 8 to 10 g of whole beans depending on roast density, a common single-cup dose.
Why unfinished wood?
Lacquer and polyurethane eventually chip or peel, and they dull the grain. Unfinished walnut absorbs its own oils over time, building a natural patina that deepens the color and tightens the grain.
Can I use it for measuring liquids?
You can, but wood absorbs moisture. Stick to dry ingredients, coffee, tea, flour, spices, milk powder. For liquids, use stainless steel or ceramic.
What is the fish-tail handle for?
Ergonomics and aesthetics. The wider tail spreads the grip across more fingers, reducing pressure on the thumb during repeated scooping. It also makes the spoon easy to hang and harder to lose in a drawer.
Does each spoon look identical?
No. Walnut grain varies by tree, cut, and age. Some spoons are darker, some lighter. Some show more figuring, others are cleaner. Each one is slightly different, which is part of the appeal.
Why does the unfinished walnut Pescara spoon need oiling?
With no lacquer or sealant, the wood can dry out. Rub in a drop of food-grade mineral oil or walnut oil every few months, and hand wash it, since the dishwasher would warp it and strip its natural oils.
Wood vs stainless steel coffee scoop: which should I get?
Steel can be thrown in the sink or dishwasher and never needs oiling. Walnut is warmer in the hand and builds a patina over time, but it needs hand washing and a drop of food-grade oil every few months.
Can I hang the Pescara spoon next to my grinder?
Yes. A genuine leather loop at the end of the fish-tail handle hangs on any small hook. The spoon is about 8.6 cm long with a 1.8 in bowl.
