TLDR: Buy it. It works well, it has impressive and useful features, it looks great, it’s thin/low-profile, and it’s a great price.Detailed review: I’m very happy with this scale, and it has certainly upped my espresso game by leaps and bounds. I’m able to weigh my beans very precisely down to a tenth of a gram (roughly the weight of a single bean), so my dosing is on point. Also, it fits beneath the portafilter with room to spare for my cup, so I can weigh my shots and accurately measure my input/output ratio. And automatic mode is magic! When the espresso hits the cup, the timer starts running, so I can measure flow rate along with everything else! Overall, super easy to use and very necessary for the at-home barista.One caveat: It acted weird on the 2nd or 3rd day, and I thought I was going to have to return it. The weight would slowly creep up even though I wasn’t adding any coffee. I dusted it off, made sure it was dry, set it on a more stable surface… I still don’t know what the matter was, but it stopped freaking out and it hasn’t really given me any trouble since. Also, I should mention that the automatic function doesn’t always work 100% perfectly; it works, and usually works quite well, but depending on the flow rate, you might get some drops dribbling into the cup and the timer not detect it right away. (I think the timer must be activated according to some sort of algorithm that looks for a certain increase in a certain amount of time, so a slower initial drip rate might not trigger it at first.) Also weirdly, it seems like about half of the time when the weight stops increasing (i.e., espresso stops flowing) , the timer pauses (as I think it’s supposed to do), but other times, the timer keeps running until you manually stop it. I don’t know… It’s a weird glitch, I guess, but it doesn’t really make any difference. The weight is accurate, and that’s the primary thing to keep an eye on.So, is it perfect? No, I guess not. But, it works extremely well and functions perfectly for my purposes. In fact, it’s a lot nicer and fancier than I expected – plus, it’s more affordable and more streamlined than its obvious rival the Acacia.

Great little scale
Great for pulling espresso shots or making pour over. Small, accurate, and easy to read

Works prefectly, accurate, easy to use, and looks great.
I didn't expect much but it works really well and seems to be very accurate. It's much more sensitive (to 0.1g) than the scale I was using to measure my coffee and the autostart timer works really well. Also, unlike my other scale, this one is USB-C rechargable and so far has no indication of needing a recharge after a week or so of daily use. My other scale uses CR2032 batteries and goes through a pair every three weeks, so being able to recharge instead is quite nice.It's small and I can use it to time the extraction and also use it to measure out heated water for tea, or whatever I need. This is definitely a steal for the price.

Best value for money espresso scale
Great little scale. Purchased this one because my previous scale finally kicked the bucket after about a year. This one was about $10 more expensive than the previous one, but checked two major quality of life boxes; it's quite a bit smaller compared to similarly priced scales, small enough to confortably fit underneath a breville bambino. It also has a rechargable battery via USB C. Those two features alone make it worth the slightly higher price of any other scale in this price range.That being said, there is one major gripe that I do have to dock a star for. The tare button is also the power button, and it's also just a capacitive button on the face of the scale. So when you press the tare button, the weight reading goes up while youre finger is on the button. It becomes a delicate balancing act of pressing the button long enough for the capacitive button to register, but not too long that it shuts the scale off, and also quickly enough that your finger is off of the scale by the time it tares so the weight reading is correct.The auto timer features is also next to useless as it doesn't start the timer until well after liquid starts to flow, but having to manually start the timer isnt the end of the world (and I honestly didnt even realize it had the auto timer functionality when I purchased it)Another very minor gripe is that, because of the size of the scale, the readout can be difficult to see with the medium sized bowl I use for dosing my beans, but that's just a tradeoff you have to make for the size. I'd rather have a smaller scale that takes up less room on the counter and fits nicely under my espresso machine.

Great coffee scale; too small for food
I ended up sending this back. I was hoping for a dual purpose scale to measure both coffee in my Aeropress and food for macro counting. However, it seems like a great little device. Perfect for its intended use. I liked the timer function and the premium feel and look. I will buy again if I am ever in the market for standalone coffee scale.

If you want your coffee to taste right
This scale does the job, and it's so light and easy to store. I mainly use it for lattes when I want to make sure my portions are correct.
