How to Measure Kratom: A Guide to Kratom Measurements
Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical or dosage advice. Always consult a healthcare professional and check local laws before purchasing or using kratom.
Learning how to measure kratom powder accurately is essential for ensuring consistency, responsible use, and preventing waste. This can be trickier than some users think, as kratom powder comes in different grind sizes and densities.
Measuring by weight is the most precise method. However, many people use teaspoons, tablespoons, or pre-filled capsules for convenience.
This guide will explore different ways to measure kratom powder, discuss why accurate measurement is vital, and provide general measurement conversions.
The Best Ways to Measure Kratom
Okay, let’s not waste any time and get right to the bottom of the kratom measuring problem. Let’s explore the best methods to measure kratom (and how to do it right):
#1 Using a Digital Scale (Most Accurate Method)
A digital scale is the most reliable way to measure kratom since it ensures precision and consistency. Kratom powders can vary in density, meaning that a teaspoon of one strain may weigh more or less than another strain.
How to Measure Kratom with a Scale:
- Use a digital scale accurate to 0.1 grams.
- Place a clean, dry container on the scale and press the tare button to reset it to zero.
- Add the kratom powder slowly until you reach the desired weight.
If you regularly use kratom, investing in a small digital scale can help ensure accurate measurements and prevent inconsistencies.
#2 Measuring Kratom with Spoons
For those who don’t have a digital scale, teaspoons and tablespoons can provide a general idea of kratom measurements.
However, spoon measurements can vary based on how finely the kratom is ground and whether it is loosely scooped or packed down. Here’s a quick look at how many grams of kratom are in a teaspoon and tablespoon:
Now, remember that these values are approximations and may vary based on the grind consistency and moisture content of the kratom powder. Always use a level spoon measurement to get a more consistent amount—avoid heaping scoops.
How to Measure Kratom with a Spoon:
- Use a dry spoon to scoop the kratom powder.
- Level off the top with a flat edge (like a butter knife) to remove excess powder.
- Avoid heaping or compressing the kratom powder.
#3 Kratom Capsules
What if you don’t want to measure the kratom yourself? If so, a good option may be to consider kratom capsules. They provide pre-measured amounts of kratom powder coated in a standard, typically gelatin, coating, making them a convenient option for those who prefer not to measure powder manually.

Why Accurate Kratom Measurement Matters
But hold on, why are we even talking about this? Is measuring kratom that important? Yes. Yes, it is. Here’s why:
Consistency in Serving Size
Measuring kratom accurately ensures that you are taking a consistent amount each time. Without precise measurement, serving sizes can fluctuate, leading to inconsistent experiences.
Preventing Waste
Using more kratom than necessary can be inefficient and costly. Measuring carefully ensures that you get the most out of your kratom supply without using excessive amounts, which would quickly lead to you overpaying for kratom.
Responsible Use & Awareness
While kratom is not FDA-approved, responsible use includes being aware of how much you consume. Using a digital scale or measuring tools can help track serving sizes and prevent unintentional overuse.
Final Thoughts on Measuring Kratom
And that’s a wrap on our guide. As you can see, measuring kratom is absolutely vital for ensuring consistency, preventing waste, and promoting responsible use.
For the most accurate measurement, use a digital scale to weigh your kratom in grams. If you opt for using spoons, though, be aware that kratom powder density can vary, leading to slight inconsistencies.
Also, if you’re worried about measuring kratom accurately yourself, remember that pre-filled capsules provide a pre-measured amount and are a convenient alternative.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams of kratom are in a teaspoon?
A level teaspoon of kratom typically weighs 2.0 – 2.3 grams, but this can vary based on the grind consistency and how the spoon is filled.
How many grams of kratom in a tablespoon?
A level tablespoon of kratom is estimated to weigh 6.2 – 7.0 grams. Again, this can vary depending on the grind consistency and how you fill the spoon.
Is a digital scale necessary for measuring kratom?
While not required, a digital scale is the best option for the most accurate and consistent measurements.
Can I use a regular spoon to measure kratom?
Regular spoons are less accurate than measuring spoons or a scale. If using a spoon, make sure to level it off for consistency.
