Empfehlenswert, einfach und zuverlÃ¤ssig in der Handhabung.Die Waage wird fÃ¼r eine SiebtrÃ¤germaschine genutzt mit der automatischen Timerfunktion.Der Vorteil gegenÃ¼ber anderen Waagen ist, dass die letzte Einstellung gespeichert wird.Somit braucht die Waage nur eingeschaltet werden und die Timerfunktion erscheint automatisch.

Great little scale
My previous scale always gave me problems when trying to charge. Sometimes it would sometimes it wouldn’t. It was infuriating! This one works 100%. Very accurate, quick charging, nice readout display.

Works well; responsive and sturdy
Everything works well, and the readout is quick and responsive.1. The manual clearly describes how to shut off the beep, and once you do that, the setting persists.2. The readout of the weight responds quickly. It does not have the lag of most inexpensive scales.3. The capacitive controls are very responsive.4. The timer button lets you start and stop and continue the timer easily. You double tap to reset it.5. The scale feels sturdy and the silicon mat is thick.6. The matte surface on the scale makes it very resistant to scratches.It is big enough to hold a coffee cup for a pourover and still have the readout clearly visible. However, a carafe larger than a standard coffee cup might be too large.I have not tried any of the auto features.Overall, it’s excellent and works well with no annoyances. It’s also small, light, and easy to clean.

Recommended for use as scale and manual timer
I like its small size, and weight sensitivity. It’s a bit wonky when trying to set the tare to zero, as I usually end up shutting it off. This is because the tare reset and on/off function are on the same button and respond to either a short duration press (tare reset) or long duration press (on/off). Thing is, the short duration press frequently doesn’t respond to my touch.The scale can be used to measure oz./ml/grams. I’ve never really understood why anyone bothers to put milliliters on a scale since it’s a measure of volume not weight, and the readings are identical!The stand-alone timer function works okay, but the timer/volume function (generally for use during espresso shots) I found just about impossible to use, so I don’t. I’d always end up resetting it accidentally, or the timer would start before I intended it to. I’m not saying it won’t work, I’m saying it’s not worth my struggle. Additionally the unit is supplied with a silicon pad to lay over the top of the scale which is suggested for use as a heat insulator. Although it’s only about â” (3 mm) thick, it adds to the overall height of the unit when measuring espresso shots. I measured the total height with the silicon pad in place at just tad over 13/16″ (I’ll say .820 or just about 21 mm).So in the end I find it to be:Reasonably pricedDecent qualityUseful for weighing coffeeUseful for timing and measuring coffee pour oversUseful manual timerBuilt-in battery charges quickly and lasts between chargesEasy to read digital readoutAppears to be sealed well from dirt and moisture (though I wouldn’t ever submerse it)I’d buy it again, but look for a unit with a little less height and a bit more usability for timing/measuring espresso shots. Thing is that might set you back several times more than what this unit costs.

Great coffee scale.
Works as advertised. Money well spent. I like the rubber sleeve it comes with to protect the scale from spills, etc. Good buy!

Works Like a Charm
This scale is great for my espresso making. The timer is straightforward, the scale is dead on. I was a little concerned about the mini size, but it holds my open basket portafilter and large coffee cups just fine while allowing a view of the weight readout. The mini size is terrific for use for pulling the shot – it fits under the Porta filter with a cup so I can tare and weigh straight in. I haven’t tried the automatic settings.

I’m extremely impressed by this little coffee scale. I make pour-over coffee all day, every day, and I use a digital scale for that. I’ve found it difficult to locate a high-quality scale that is both rechargeable and capable of precise measurements. This scale offers both. The scale features a sturdy construction, with an aluminum body and rounded edges, giving it a sleek, high-end look. Additionally, there is a tactile on-off switch located on the back of the scale that prevents it from unintentionally turning on when not in use.This scale operates on a rechargeable battery, charged via a USB-C connection and comes with a short charging cable. This addresses a common issue faced by many kitchen scales that typically rely on small button cell batteries, which often deplete when most needed. The scale is versatile, suitable for both weighing coffee and general kitchen use, and can handle weights of up to 2kg. It allows users to switch between grams, ounces, or milliliters, with an accuracy of 0.1g. A silicone pad is also included, which can be placed on the aluminum surface to protect it from heat.An important feature of this scale is its built-in timer that can measure up to 10 minutes. The timer is conveniently located to the left of the display and includes two automated settings: one for espresso machines and another specifically for pour-over coffee. To use the timer, simply place the scale under your coffee mug, activate the timer mode, and it will start timing automatically when it detects a change in weight from the liquid being poured. The timer will pause once the weight stabilizes, allowing users to track both the duration of the pour and the amount of water used. This functionality is particularly useful for ensuring precise water measurements and timing during the brewing process. Overall, the scale exemplifies meticulous attention to detail and high-quality construction, making it a valuable addition to any kitchen.

Iâve been looking at food scales for a while and since I love coffee, I decided to order this one with the coffee timer feature. While Iâm still learning how to use the coffee timer features, it works amazingly as a basic food scale.The scale comes in a small cardboard box. Inside the box is a piece of protective foam and underneath it is the scale, a silicone pad, and a USB C to USB A cable for charging. The first thing I did was charge it up fully using the cable and a charging block I already had at home. It didnât take long to charge up fully and when it did, the battery indicator on the display stopped flashing.Next to the USB C charging port is an on/off switch that goes left and right. This is the main switch to get the scale working. Once you have it turned on, the touch sensitive power/zero button on the right side of the display and the timer button on the left side work all the features. I didnât use the silicone pad for my first test as itâs only required when youâre putting something really hot like boiling water in a cup on the scale surface.I decided to try a few tests using a plastic measuring cup and after putting it down and taking it off several times the results were the same, so it seems to be consistent in its accuracy. I then used the âzeroâ button to nullify the weight of the cup and added some food inside. The scale registered the food (without the initial weight of the cup) and would respond quickly as I added and removed food from the cup. I also tested the timer features for espresso and pour-over coffee and while I didnât have a firm understanding of how to use it, the timer features did work as stated in the manual and I feel like I just need to learn more about it.Overall, this is a great coffee/food scale and even if I donât understand the timer features yet Iâm more than happy with it as a basic food scale. If anything, it’s encouraged me to learn how to make pour-over coffee and espressos using the timer feature. If youâre looking for a great food scale with the additional bonus of a coffee timer, I highly recommend this one!
