I’m using this scale for more than 6 months now and not only for coffee, but for everything else in the kitchen.
The scale is designed so nicely and made quite fine. Can’t say it is perfect or very sturdy, but is fine, is ok.
The readings are easy to notice as there’s no such thing as display on it, the digits appear right from the black background of the scale.
The battery life is not impressive, will need to be recharged pretty often.
The charger by the way is USB Type C.
It does what it says although it doesn’t work 100% on a uneven surface like when I put in between my cup and machine but I guess that’s not its intended use.
Looks good, perfect size for sage machine, others at this value level scale often over the edge and may be inaccurate because of it. Easy to clean, auto feature is really useful. Buy it.
First thoughts:
Pros
Rechargeable so no looking around for replacement batteries.
Bright digital display.
Accurate measurement in grams for dry weight and water.
Flat surface design with display below the surface.
Cons
Seems to weigh through pressure in the feet rather than a weighing platform, so pressing the timer does put load on the current measurement.
I got these scales to weigh coffee grounds for pour-over brewing, and since they’ve been designed with that in mind, there’s some handy little features. They are precise enough to measure in tenths of grams so I can check weights for the correct strength.
The design is understated and sleek (no visible buttons, just a nice square), and is a nice size to measure everything in situ if I need to.
Details and things to note (See pictures and video):
Small digital scale that has a rechargeable cell for USB charging (USB-C cable included).
There’s no screen as such, the digital LED illuminates from beneath the surface so the entire weighing surface is flat and available for use.
There is a digital display for weight measurement and another for the timer function. This comes in very useful for timing blooms and brewing time. The display is bright and clear to read.
Has a range of measurement options including oz, ml and g, but it’s accurate for measuring water (g = ml) so I can measure the coffee grounds and the actual liquid pour all in situ.
Final thoughts:
Happy to recommend this if you’re into your hand poured coffee, as this is designed with that in mind. It has a large enough platform to seat my smaller pour-over flask, as well as my 12 cup Kemex. This should work well if you’re just measuring out grounds for drip, Moka pots and espresso, but it excels if you’re doing any kind of pour with a level base.
It’s small, portable, looks nice on the bench, and the timer is very handy for timing blooms and brew time.
My husband makes the best burgers for that to happen he has to measure the spices precisely.
He was really happy to receive this scale.
My only complain is that it would only charge with cable provided in the box. My private charger would not connect for some reason. But it was charging without problem with able provided.
That being said it’s easy to operate: pres power for 2 seconds it goes on , press again timer goes on.
It can be used for coffee making or cooking, whatever you need.
I would buy again and I would recommend
I hope my review and photos were helpful
The scales were accurate although I do find it difficult sometimes to turn them on
, I Think this will be something I will get used to
Smooth one piece unit is easy to clean and has nowhere for water it get in from the top.
I’m glad I gave it a chance, good value for money.
