Coffee Scale with Auto Timing, Espresso Scale with Timer, 2kg/0.1g High Precision Scale for Coffee Beans, Black, Rechargeable

I’ve used this for about three months now • Very easy to use with responsive buttons and a clear display. Functions are simple and straightforward. • Accuracy is fairly good and consistent for daily coffee brewing (I use it for espresso for the most part) • Build quality feels solid and durable, especially for the price. • Battery life has also been impressive with regular use. • Overall, a reliable and user-friendly scale that works well for everyday coffee making.

This scale is great. If you own a Cafelat Robot, buy this it has a low profile and actually fits perfectly between the robot's legs. Th espresso mode isn't perfect, but it does get you in the ballpark.

There's really not much else to say other than the scale works great for weighing small items to a higher level of precision than most kitchen scales in the case of espresso you want to be able to go down to a specific measurement down to a gram. Most kitchen scales can't manage this task, but this one is really good. In addition it has a future where if you enable espresso mode, it will not only weigh the amount of coffee that goes into your cup but it will also automatically time how long it took for the shot to finish which can be very handy for setting up your machine with new coffee types especially for beginners like me.

This is like my ideal type of kitchen (or even office) device. It is very compact while still being large enough for any permutation of its intended use, sleek and black without any unnecessary or unsightly branding, and USB-C rechargeable. There is a downside for my purposes that leads me to stick with a different scale, but if I didn't have that already I would be happy with this. Also, I tested the accuracy down to the tenth of a gram against my other reliable scale and both gave identical measurements. The timer function is the only complaint I would have. If you intend to use it for espresso or pour-over, or another method that will fit within the framework of this scale's only two timer options, then great. But the manual timer option doesn't have a countdown with alarm that you can set, it will just count up the time so you have to keep checking in on it. Again, not terrible, and the timer is accurate, but I like the optionality I have with other scales to set different timers that will beep once they're done so that you can go about getting ready or doing whatever else without accidentally overbrewing your coffee. But this scale is both functional and aesthetically pleasing enough that I don't think anyone would be upset at using it, regardless.

I have an actual set of calibration weights and a good reference scale.. this scale is not that accurate. If you're ok with 500g of weight incorrectly reading as 500.8g and 200g reading as 200.3 g, then this scale is fine.. but know that' it's not particularly precise calibrated against known good weights and measures. I would only trust it to the gram reading at best, not to the 0.1 gram for which it is advertised.

Edit: after posting my initial review (below) the seller reached out to me to make things right. So I wanted to update my review as, despite the initial issue (which I am guessing was related to my unit, not the product generally) they quickly worked to get in touch and remedy the situation. 5 stars for customer service! Original review: I really enjoyed the scale and it seemed to work well for a couple months. Then I started to notice when weighing out beans after taring the scale, when I removed the bowl I had torn, the negative weight value would be more than the bowl originally was weighed. I realized this was leading to inaccurate measurements, generally around .2 of a gram off but sometimes more. This may seem like a small amount, but if the scale weights in tenths of a gram, I’d expect it to be correct to that level of precision? It’s frustrating, now I feel like I need to weigh everything twice to confirm the weight is accurate, and about 80% of the time it is not. I added a video to illustrate exactly what I mean. You can see I weigh out 19g of coffee. But when I re-measure the beans by pouring into a new container, the weight is actually 19.2. As far as I can tell this only happens when I tare the container I’m measuring into, but that still seems like it shouldn’t happen. The Amazon listing indicates they “promise 5 years if after-sales service” and to contact customer support if you have issues. I looked but could not find any way to contact them, not on the Amazon page, not on the product packaging, not via a web search. Maybe they monitor reviews and will reach out to fix the situation, in which case I will update my review to let people know. But as of now, the scale is quite frustrating to use when I really want .1 gram precision.

I love this scale, it has an "espresso" mode where it will auto-tare when you place your cup on it, and the timer will reset to zero. Then, as soon as the espresso drips into the cup, the timer will start automatically. It also has regular manual modes for weighing your beans. Display is bright and easy to read. My only complaint is it could be more intuitive... you must quickly press the timer buttons four times to switch modes which can be awkward. But, I know what I'm doing now, and the scale does everything that I need at a very attractive price point.

I've been using it for more than 6 mo. It's still running not like some other cheap scales I used before, which will stop working or become funky being expose in high humidity environments for a few month. The scale is accurate and down to the 0.1g which is enough for me to pull a good shot using my Gaggia Classic Pro. The touch button are very responsive. The only little thing I am not 100% satisfied is that, sometimes the buttons may appear "dead", but it's not broken, you just need to remove all the weight from it and place it on a solid surface, tap the button and it will work again. I will definitely buy a bunch of them, if I am running a coffee shop. It's poor man's acaia.
