Great scale that needs some improvements to be perfect
Very accurate scale, looks good in white, timer works nicely and I do like the concept of the ratio conversion. Shown in photos with 0 measurement drift over time, even without the silicone mat.To make this the best scale in the price range, I would change:- The auto timer function. Timing currently stops if you pick up the brew to swirl; you must completely restart the process if you do happen to pick it up. I would change that to only stop on user input (pressing a button).- The ratio conversion. Why offer XX.0 precision if you can only change the ratio in whole amounts? I'd suggest offering 0.1 increments, selectable with +/- buttons instead of cycling through.- The silicone mat is not well affixed and slides around. Kind of useless as-is and I just keep it off. I would wrap the whole thing around the measurement platform, similar to how the Greater Goods scale does it, to really keep it secure.It's not perfect, but for the price, it's a 4.5/5 for me. Rounding up to 5 since a 4 is considered "bad" by today's online rating standards.

IMO, a filter coffee lovers best scale option on a budget. Solid grade A choice.
I have two other .1mg "coffee" or food scales that I used regular for pour overs. I saw this has 4x display on real time flow rate, g/mg weight, timer, and grounds to water ratio for a solid price and purchased this after reading some reviews. One of my scales has these features, but the workflow on this scale just clicked a ton better for me.The beep isn't super loud annoying which is a major relief, as I just couldn't keep sound on on my other scale due to that trigger honestly. I tried brew mode immediately and will now only use that when making a pour over. Loved the beep alerting when I finally hit the proper ratio and I like it keeps my final info on screen after the brew for my study. I can actually practice my technique now and not have split attention as much.This is still compact, but fits a larger carafe well whereas my other scale is a better fit for the espresso machine. The display is clear and buttons have a slight tactile sensation from the print, but are still the capacitive touch based style. I tested it with weights and it is my most accurate scale, it hit the .1g accurately every time or at worst would fluctuate back and forth quickly from the true value (more than enough for me to trust it). It updates and tares from power on fairly fast, it reacts fast enough to touch to not make me pause much.My nitpicks are that the front clear matte plastic isn't quite uniform flat viewed at an off angle giving it a cheaper look, but that doesn't affect functionality at all and truth is, it really was very affordable for the feature set I feel.The second nitpick was that the scale's mat does not grip well or fit securely over prompting it to move around easily. For this I had to modify using some rubberized grip tape on the surface of scale underneath the mat itself. Now it doesn't slide from vibration and if any pressure down it doesn't slip. I could have removed it totally, but it is attractive and useful once stabilized. With that modification done, I can fully recommend this scale for filter coffee lovers at any price. Great product, hopefully lasts me a long time.

Brilliant scale!
Brilliant scale! Very easy to use and streamlines my single cup process at work. Automatic ratio calculation and auto timer start are game changers.

Excellent Precision Scale for Daily Coffee Brewing
Excellent, very precise (0.1g) perfect for brewing specialty coffee. I make several coffees a day and the battery lasts almost a week. With USB-C port it charges very quickly. The silicone protector moves around a lot—they could improve that

Works, but room for improvement
Looks nice and seems to work well. A few issues with it though that are annoying:1. No auto-off function, so if you forget to switch it off after it will just run until it dies2. Battery life doesnt seem all that great. Seems to only get a couple hours of use on a charge3. The usage isnt very straight forward for coffee modes. Took reading the instructions multiple times and a couple of brews before I got it down4. The silicon pad is annoying. I like that it is removable for cleaning, but would be nice if it fully clipped in place on the scale. The pad is designed with a lip on only 3 sides so it slides off very easily if pushed toward the back of the unit

Great Upgrade from Timemore – No More Accidental Resets
I bought the Maestri House S3 Coffee Scale to replace my Timemore scale, which I used mainly for pour-over. My biggest frustration with the Timemore was that it would reset itself whenever a bit of water accidentally dripped onto the power button. During pour-over, that happens more often than you’d expect, and it really disrupted the workflow.The Maestri House S3 completely solves this issue. Even though it also uses capacitive touch controls, I haven’t had any problems with accidental resets from water drips.Another feature I really like is the built-in timer with ratio alerts. The scale beeps when the target coffee-to-water ratio is met (configurable, but set to 1:15 by default), which is extremely useful during pour-over and removes the need to constantly watch the display.I also appreciate that it doesn’t aggressively auto-shut off after just a couple of minutes of inactivity, which I’ve experienced with other coffee scales. It stays on long enough to comfortably complete a brew without rushing.Overall, this scale feels well thought out and very practical for daily coffee making. I would highly recommend it, especially if you do pour-over and are frustrated by overly sensitive buttons or short timeouts.
