How many grams is a quarter teaspoon of espresso powder?
One teaspoon of espresso powder weighs about 2 grams and one tablespoon is about 6 grams, so a quarter teaspoon comes out to roughly 0.5 grams. Measured by the teaspoon (~2 g/tsp). A little goes a long way in baking — ½–2 tsp deepens chocolate flavour.
Small spoon amounts are where weighing has the biggest payoff: tiny errors compound in baking. If your scale reads in 1-gram steps you can measure espresso powder directly. (For reference, one US cup is 96 g.)
