I use this scale to measure my coffee beans for our espresso machine and love that it includes a built-in timer for pour-overs and shots. It’s accurate, easy to use, and has worked perfectly for me with no issues. Great quality and a helpful tool for anyone who’s into making coffee at home.

i've had it for a couple of weeks now, and i will say, it works well. calibration isn't in the instructions, but, if you hit and hold all 4 buttons when you turn it on, after it says hello, it will enter cal mode. pressing unit advances to the next screen, which is the auto shut off time. if you turn off the power, or use all 4 buttons to reset it, it does not seem to save, so you will have to purchase calibration weights in order to change it. after setting the auto shutoff, it then lists the 3000 g, which is the max weight. it seems you can change it, but i haven't tried. the next shows random numbers, seemingly the raw value of the scale sensor, then it goes through asking for a 500g calibration weight, and after that, a 2000g calibration weight. the 1000g weight doesn't seem to be necessary. after calibration, the scale seems to do pretty well with the calibration weights. weighing in the center and in the corners seem to be repeatable, although it may be a little off at the very edges or corners. the mat that goes on top of the scale has a hangover on the left side, which helps keep it in place, but it can slide up and down. using the scale to measure liquid, it seems to refresh quick enough to easily allow you to gauge when to stop, although, it may depend on how quickly you pour. one thing to note, the precision mentioned in the description. this scale is accurate to 0.1g from 0-500g, 0.5g from 501-1000g, and 1g from 1001-3000g. this isn't over the weight range of the scale exactly, but rather over the displayed weight. meaning, if you decided to weigh pour over or something, in something heavy (or a collection of things), if you tare out the weight (zero it out to measure the difference), it will still display the first 500g up to 0.1g accuracy. that makes the 3000g limit of the scale much more useful. lastly, this is a rebranded scale...many make the same scale under a different brand. i can't remember which combination of buttons it was, but if you held 2 buttons at the same time, it would bring up a muted speaker (no sound) icon, even though this scale doesn't have sound to begin with. i'm very happy with this scale. the price was good, and realizing that the 0.1g accuracy works up to 500g after taring is great. i used it to measure the water and ice in my 64 oz yeti, to figure out how much water i was actually drinking (got very close to the limit of 3000g).

I’ve used this identical scale for four years, though with a different brand name on it, still identical, made in China with a friendly “Hello” on the splash screen when you turn it on. After approximately 1,000 uses in four years, it suddenly died one day, lost its mind and became obviously useless. When that happened there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to replace it with exactly the same scale because I liked the old one so much. The controls are logically laid out, the display is bright, it automatically turns itself off after a few minutes if you forget about it. I’ve tested it with standard weights and it’s precisely accurate. It’s correctly sized for its task (a coffee scale), it’s slim, light, has a removable, washable rubber mat that covers the weighing platform, and is altogether a winner in design and utility, and there’s no reason to change anything about it. When this one fails, I’ll be happy enough to buy another. It costs twenty bucks . . .

For the price, this coffee scale works great for most brewing methods. There are two small details that could be improved to make this product 5-star. 1 - The scale will automatically shut off after a few minutes. This may not seem like a big deal, but if I am brewing French press coffee, the scale will turn off and the timer along with it. This means I need a separate timer to track brew time. Changing the weight on the scale presumably prevents it from going to sleep, which means the timer is likely just meant for pour-over or espresso timing, but this brings me to the second, and arguably bigger issue. 2 - There is a good amount of "lag" to the reading. By this I mean the scale takes a bit of time between the actual mass on the scale increasing and the display updating. For brewing pour-over, dosing espresso or pulling a shot, the exact amount of output is very important. With the delay, if you stop pouring/ dosing/ pulling at at the correct amount (eg. 18g for my espresso dosing) when the scale truly reads 18g - and you stop, the value will creep up a small amount after no more is being put on the scale, so the initial 18g will sometimes creep up to 18.5g or so. If this scale cost somewhere in the 50-100 dollar range, this would be unacceptable and I'd probably give this scale 1 star. However, for the cost, I think this scale is a great way to get into coffee and, for the vast majority of users, will be more than adequate for things like french press, drip brew, and even pour over. If you are looking to weigh out your espresso shots and dosing, it may be better to save and get a scale with less "lag" in measurement and display update. But, if you are on a tight budget (which you might be after purchasing an espresso machine and grinder) this will absolutely suffice until you can upgrade.

This has been one of the best purchases I have ever made. I have had this scale for 5 years. I have spilled so much coffee and water on it, yet it continues to work. I thought I finally did it in recently, but let it dry out and it continues. For this price point there is nothing like it. I highly recommend it.

I use this scale every morning, and it’s been super reliable. The timer is very handy for pour-over, and the readings are quick and consistent each time.

Looking for a replacement of my old scale and this fits the bill well.

This scales is really good its very acurate and looks nice and sleek the touch buttons are very nice and responsive and its perfect for espresso i have used this a few times now for making espresso and its really nice to use the built in timer is very handy to have for brew ratios as you can see from the photos i used a 1:2 ratio i put 19 grams of coffee in and got 38 grams out in 27 seconds so it works great for making espresso and id highly reccomend this scales its really good

Really good for it's price, the only negative is that sometimes it's so sensitive that it gets disoriented and adds grams by itself. Overall it's great
