(Latest Version) Espresso Scale with Timer 1000g x 0.1g, Espresso Coffee Scale for Drip Tray, 35 Ounces/0.01oz,Coffee Scale Espresso with Silicone Mat,Large Backlit Display,Batteries

This isn't a perfect espresso scale. As mentioned elsewhere, the scale seems to cut some corners when it comes to displaying weights and "rounds up" a little bit. It's rare to get a result of 17.9g, for example — it tends to display something like 17.6g for a few fractions of a gram before incrementing up to 18.0 or 18.1g. However, it doesn't advertise or pretend that it's the most precise instrument, so I don't find this to be a big deal. Likewise, there is a tiny bit of a delay to refreshing the measured weight in real time, but this is barely noticeable. At this price point, I think these shortcomings are reasonable and forgivable.It has all the features I need to brew shots of espresso. There is a start/stop timer, a tare function, a silicone tray to protect the weighing surface from liquid spray, a tray/cover on which to spread out coffee beans as you're weighing them out, and an easily legible LCD screen with large numbers. It fits on the drip tray of my Breville espresso machine without sticking out. It is so much cheaper than some of the gold standard scales that have been recommended by espresso reviewers and sites. Unless you need the best of the best scale or maybe are in the commercial realm as a coffeeshop/barista, I imagine this will serve most people's needs. Would buy again.

I use this to dial in my espresso. It provides great accuracy with regards to the scale. I set my portafilter on too using the cover of the scale. Initially I thought the scale would be off kilter but it is very sturdy. Timer is also a great addition to figure out how long your espresso machine takes to brew a shot. Very easy to use and stores away nicely!

Awesome little scale, the portafiltro etching looks good on my espresso bar but that's besides the point. I tried several scales all had some good qualities but this one took the cake. Feels not cheap, soft touch coating helps. The little silicone pad is useful when pulling shots directly on the machine as it is NOT IP rated. The timer function sets it apart from the near priced competition. Only cons (not really due to price) are that the timer does not pause, stop and reset are all you can do. Wish it was a little thinner but it works fine on my gaggia. Pro's: I use it with a Timemore ESP (yeah not many have this one but it's fantastic) to weigh dose & it gives me an accurate to the first decimal gram everytime! (That's a tenth) reads fast enough to pull shots accurately. VERY easy to read and use, big bright numbers. Also, you can start with dosing cup from grinder on scale before turning on which will auto tare. I usually save that for the demitasse cups as I've learned mine are not equally weighted. I waited to review only after pulling 2 doubles a day for over a month. Yeah it's good and I hope this helps someone save some bucks if you don't need smart scale features and apps or have the need to dose into & weigh portafiltro (works but clumsy so bigger might be better). Helped me dial in when combined with my tests comparing 1zxpresso, C2 , and the new ESP. I'd say it's a steal at this price and I can save some dough for other stuff like accupuncture needles to make wdt which is more rewarding than buying one 🙂

When I opened up the package, I was initially disappointed because my old miniscale (that broke in a recent move) was much thinner and had rechargeable batteries. But I've been using this over the past few weeks and love it. It's accurate, easy to use, and solid. I've dropped it more than once and it works just the same. Plus, it's half the cost of the thinner ones. I've been happy with the purchase

Have been in the espresso game for a year now with a gaggia classic pro and eureka mignon specialita. I was starting to look into weighing my beans for grinding while also weighing my output to make sure I get the magic 2:1 ratio. To nobody's surprise of course a freakin coffee scale is 100+ dollars. After looking at some YouTube videos I saw this scale was recommended and immediately ordered it. For the price I've gotta say that it works. If you're looking for a no BS scale that weighs to the .1 of a gram this is it. The only issue with this scale is that it does lag a bit. So you'll have to stop your shots a little before the weight you desire. It measures well, has a built in timer, and doesn't cost a lot.

Just what I needed. It fits my flair espresso 3 and with the timer is so much easier to produce consistent shots. It works great on the kitchen too
