All around scale
This scale genuinely impressed me from day one. Setup is simple, and the quiet mode is a great touch no unnecessary beeps while dialing in espresso. It automatically turns on when a cup is placed on it and auto-tares, which makes workflow smooth and distraction-free.What really sets this scale apart is how much data it provides. During a shot, it tracks time, weight, and flow rate, and after the shot it continues displaying the final numbers for about 10 seconds before returning to standby. That small detail is surprisingly helpful, especially when you’re focused on the extraction and want to log results afterward.I started using it to explore flow-rate-based espresso, aiming for under 2 g/s. My first shots were flowing too fast (around 3–4 g/s), but after grinding finer and dialing in to about 1.3–2.0 g/s, the difference in taste was very noticeable cleaner, sweeter, and more balanced. Being able to see flow rate in real time makes adjustments much more intentional.Battery life is solid as well. It charges via USB-C, and a short charge (around 30 minutes) already gave me plenty of use.Overall, this scale feels well thought out, accurate, and extremely useful for anyone serious about espresso or brew control. Easily one of my favorite coffee tools right now, and I’m excited to keep discovering more ways to use it.Highly recommended for home baristas and coffee nerds alike. ☕️

Works well
Scale works great. You tap the power button to tare it and if you start it with the item on it’s already tared.

Is this digital coffee scale any good?
PROS:- Automatic workflow including auto-on when a cup is placed and auto-tare, allowing for a distraction-free brewing process- Provides an almost real-time flow rate data (g/s) alongside time and weight, helping baristas dial in cleaner and more balanced shots- Highly precise 0.1-gram measurements are essential for fine-tuning espresso doses where a fraction of a gram changes the result- Espresso-optimized design with a compact footprint that fits easily on most drip trays- Features a quiet mode to disable unnecessary beeps, maintaining a peaceful morning routineCONS:- The silicone mat can sometimes cause friction interference with the weighing plate if not positioned perfectly- Mode switching can be confusing, requiring double or quadruple taps on sensitive touch buttons- Durability concerns regarding the physical on/off switch, though many users bypass this using the sleep/tare buttonVERDICT: This is a budget-friendly alternative to high-end professional scales]. It is particularly effective for "coffee nerds" who want to master flow-rate-based extraction without spending hundreds of dollars. While the touch controls have a slight learning curve, the auto-start timer and precision make it a "game-changer" for consistent, high-quality espresso at home.

Great scale but check pricing
I am new to the world of espresso, but not new to the world of scales, including precision scales (reloading is a hobby of mine and scales that can read down to a tenth of a grain are common place… for reference, there about 15.4+ grains per gram).Prior to ordering this scale, I was handling my espresso grind dosing with a common kitchen scale that treads to the gram. My results were a bit inconsistent. I ordered this scale and started playing with the dose and found the roughly 18grams I was using was close, but found my results went to a new level when I started hitting 18.6grams. Just the ability to fine tune to tenths of a gram have been amazing.The scale itself is aesthetically pleasing. With a clean black look and included mat, it looks really sharp. That said, I usually just leave the mat on the scale and tare with it. I was afraid that might cause some interference in reading with the friction on the sides of the scale, but thus far, it has not proven to be the case.For functionality, I have only used the standard weight function, but as my journey in espresso continues, I’m certain the time & weight functions will prove useful. The scale has some nice features, like coming on when it detects a weight. The controls are easy to actuate. Tarring is a snap and the battery has been charged once so far and has been used for weeks now.As far as accuracy, I did let my other scales warm up after turning them on, calibrated them, and weighed a few small objects on each to get agreements on weight and then weighed the same objects on the espresso scale. It seemed to offer consistent readings with what my other scales showed. The only spots where things get a touch sketchy are on weights that fall between tenths… add 5 hundredths to the scale and there wasn’t a lot of consistency on whether it errs to the next tenth or not. But at that point, we’re probably getting into territory where 5 hundredths of a gram would make an imperceptible difference to most, including myself.Overall, I’m really liking this scale with one exception…. Price. It is listed at $40 and currently available with a coupon to bring it down to $34. I believe that to be quite a decent price for a scale with the feature set that it has… BUT… the exact same scale can be found on Amazon with just a different brand name on it for well under $30.
