Pescara Measuring Spoon
The dose, weighed by hand.
- A tablespoon per scoop: One level scoop holds roughly a tablespoon, about 8 to 10 grams of whole beans depending on roast density.
- No lacquer to peel: Unfinished walnut has no lacquer to chip or peel, and it builds a natural patina that deepens over time.
- Comfortable fish-tail grip: The wider fish-tail handle spreads the grip across more fingers, easing thumb pressure during repeated scooping.
- Hangs within reach: A genuine leather loop lets you hang it on a hook instead of losing it 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.
The Pescara Measuring Spoon is a hand-carved black walnut coffee scoop with a fish-tail shaped handle. 0.5 oz capacity (roughly one tablespoon), smooth polished edges, leather hanging loop.

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
How much does it hold?
0.5 oz, which is roughly one level tablespoon. For coffee, that is about 8–10 grams of whole beans, depending on the roast density.
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.
