Digital Coffee Scale with Timer

Having had these scales for over a year now and using them every day during that time for my morning coffee I thought I'd buy a calibrated weight to check their accuracy, and as you can see they're about as accurate as you can get. Which led me to write this review...They're perfect for what I want and must easily be on par with scales 3 times the price. I've replaced the batteries once in 16 months, I've spilt coffee on them and had no problems with their function, the refresh rate is good if not great, but fine for my purposes.The most ringing endorsement is I can give is I don't even have to think about them. I pick them up and they just work! The fact that they're accurate to 0.1g after all this time is just the icing on the cake!

An accurate and versatile digital scale, measures in metric or imperial, has a tare function to make adding multiple ingredients simple and as a bonus it has a timer, perfect for pour over coffee recipes. If you drink real coffee or if you cook with real ingredients, this device will become your new best friend.

I have purchased several sets of kitchen scales in recent years and these are by far the best. I wanted something with an integrated timer for making various forms of speciality coffee at home, I am pleased to say these do the job at a fraction of the cost.Like the more expensive Hario scales, these have a variable range of accuracy depending on the mass range of the item being weighed. This allows them to have a good percentage accuracy at low weights where it matters (0.1g up to 1kg), while also being able to handle greater masses up to 3kg (1g at 1kg to 3kg).My only critical comment is that the scale lags a little, meaning you have to slow or stop your pour as you get close to your target to avoid over pouring.I would buy again.

I bought this because I wanted a more accurate measurement. Most scales are 1g but .1g is much better for me. The display is very easy to read and functions just as described. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but comparing to my older scales that have 1g scale, they are comparable.They have a built-in hook hole so if you use one of the adhesive hooks, it will fit on that no problem.Good product.

If like me you’re thinking about buying these scales for weighing out coffee, then you can’t go far wrong with them. They’re accurate, easy to use, lightweight and easy to store by either putting them away in a cupboard or hanging from the wall. What more can you ask for in scales?For less than £20, they give accurate readings to .1 of a gram (which is both wonderful and a nuisance if you’re a perfectionist so be warned!), the timer is in the bottom left corner and the Tare button (which resets the weight to zero no matter what is on it so you can measure items added) is shared with the on off, which you press once to rest to zero or hold it down to turn the scales off. Perfect!The only downsides I could say is that they can feel a little cheap on the front end even though it is a robust thing. It’s always hard finding the middle ground between small and easy to store and hardy. The other is that it is battery powered which most scales are but they would have been perfect had they had a charger via micro USB.All small things. Ultimately having looked at a lot of different scales these came out right when weighing up (ha!) between cost, value and features. For less than £20 you will not do better in my opinion.

Updated: Have now used the scales and they work great. Very good value for money, perfect as a starter set for pourover coffee if you don't want to spend around the £40-50 mark for the next level up. Batteries provided didn't work however.

Started off great but packed in after a few days use

Ok full disclosure, I've already returned this scale to Amazon (free of charge) so what's the point of the review ?My scale worked well for over a week and then developed a tendancy to lose weight while in use. By the end of the 2nd week it was losing about 5g within the first minute of being turned on and then it would settle down and read correctly.If you are prepared to return the scale if it developes a fault then buy this. It has a good size weighing area, it's responsive and fairly accurate.
