NEXT-SHINE Gram Scale 500g x 0.01g Precision, Mini Pocket Size Scales with 2 Plastic Trays LCD Display, Weighing Coffee Espresso Small Food

I got a new espresso machine and dialing in the grind/tamp/weight of the ground coffee to deliver 32 grams of espresso from my 18g dose in about 30 seconds. I can't wait till tomorrow morning for the next attempt.

I was looking for a low cost and thin scale to weigh my espresso shots, and this was a great find. Many scales I looked at were either very expensive, or too thick making cup clearance a problem. This is not a heavy-duty scale by any means and only has a 500g capacity, but for my daily use case of less than 100g it's perfect and has worked great so far! My thoughts are that if this scale stops working for whatever reason later on, I'll probably just buy another one or something similar. I can do that quite a few times before I reach the cost of most dedicated espresso scales I have seen on the market. (Especially from the specialty coffee shops...)Note: There is no shot timer on this scale! So, if you need one, you should probably look at something else. My espresso machine has a built-in timer, so I didn't need it.

Overal good scale, knows to Tare when there is already on top of it. But sometimes it takes a while to start up which can be frustrating. I’ve run into this a few times where it will turn on but then does not allow me to weigh anything on it.

scale doesn't work and can't give correct grams.

Great little scale. Perfect for use in the kitchen to measure various foods and beverages.

The media could not be loaded. I like that it is small and doesn't take up a lot of space. It was reasonably priced (I did get it on sale) and it doesn't wander when weighing. Still working on using all it's features but the basics for measuring espresso works perfectly.

Very Nice and accurate, works with 2-AAA Batteries or just the built-in Lipo. You can also use the USB cable plugged into any USB port or adapter and it work and charges the built-in Lipo battery. All in all a great scale for home and on the go.

Easy to use, easy to read, buttons are well defined and have defined presses.Can use rechargeable or regular batteries.
