Greater Goods Coffee Scale with Timer, 0.1g Precision for Espresso & Matcha | Digital Pour-Over Scale with Waterproof Silicone Cover, Backlit Display & 6.6lb Capacity for Chemex, V60, Drip (Onyx Black)

Had this for over a year now and no real issues. The only issue I can think of is that if something is a bit too close to the scale, the scale can fluctuate a bit by a gram or so. Just make sure nothing is touching it, especially anything electronic.Beyond that, it's a no-nonsense scale that works great with actual tactile buttons. Its refresh rate can lag behind a tiny bit, but you get used to it by stopping your pours in anticipation. For example, I typically do 300mL pours in total, and I usually start slowing down/stopping at around 280g. Battery life is pretty good, but the battery life indicator doesn't do a good job of letting you know when you need to replace the batteries. So you may end up with it powering off mid-brew, but I've only had to replace the batteries once despite daily use over the past year or so. That being said, it's useful to also do stuff like the 4:6 method based on water level vs timer too.I'd also say it may not be extremely accurate as sometimes it fluctuates by .1 grams, but it is accurate enough for practical purposes. For reference, .1g is simply ~1 coffee bean, and unless you're an espresso perfectionist, 1 coffee bean isn't going to make any real difference.In summary:+ Just the essentials if you only want the essentials+ Tactile buttons+ Display is pretty nice+ Accurate enough for practical purposes+ Battery life very good+ Will work for at least a year, can't say any longer until I own it for longer+ Great for the cost= WIll not refresh weight as quickly as say an acacia scale which costs at least four times as much, easy to compensate for- Battery life indicator isn't great, so it may power off mid-brew every half year or so- Sensitive to adjacent electronic devices, 1 or 2 inches is enough distance- Sensitive to adjacent objects, be mindful of anything that is touching the silicone, even if it's barely touching by a hair

First of all I bought this to replace an old plastic Kitchen Tour that was acting up on me. I mostly do espresso and specifically, lattes, with very occasional pour overs. I have only had this for a week but I really like it. It has good workspace and is light, picks up to move easily with one hand and the cover is attached firmly and does not fall off. But what i really love about it is the large well lit numbers, good early in the morning when its dark. And they are two different colors and very easy to interpret quickly and accurately (am doing single dose hand measured each time). And I really like that when I measure the beans and when I watch the shot there is little lag, the numbers do not flicker, and it is very accurate. It is a real pleasure to work with and I do not need all the bells and whistles, I can push a timer start button, and I can turn it all off when I'm done and ready. A great addition to my work station.

I'm very happy with the accuracy and refresh rate of the scale. The two tone LED color scheme is a nice touch. I also like that the silicone cover is well-affixed to the scale and won't slide around. I only wish the scale came in white!Don't be fooled by other reviews. This scale doesn't "drift" any more or less than any other scale. Those people who say otherwise are likely storing it in a very different temperature environment than their use area. See photos for the test I did with boiling hot water in an uninsulated carafe. 0.0g drift on all tests, with or without the silicone protector, after several minutes of letting the carafe sit on the scale surface.The only time I experienced measurement drift was when I got the package from 30F freezing outdoor conditions, unboxed it and tried it out without letting the scale warm up to ambient. The measured weight slowly dropped until it warmed up to 70F room temp; since then it's been rock solid. That is totally normal for any scale that any manufacturer, cheap or expensive, makes. It's just how this kind of scale works.Overall if you're looking for a nice scale with timer functionality, I highly recommend the Greater Goods scale.

I bought two of these for the home after using them at work as a volunteer barista. My daughter claimed the cute blue color for her matcha drinks, and I am using the black one at my espresso bar. They are accurate and look nice. My favorite element is the silicone base which makes it easy to clean. I can run hot water over the silicon to get rid of matcha powder or coffee grinds and dry it to make it look like new.. They are not as thin or compact as other scales and uses batteries but is a great tool and value.

in hopes this will help anyone else who bought this scale- this thing is super sensitive to vibrations. if your scale is getting off calibration for seemingly no reason, make sure the sides and the back aren’t touching anything else and that the bottom is on a flat surface and it will fix it entirely, trust me!! but aside from that, this scale works absolutely perfectly. it’s just the right size for my morning coffee, has great battery life, and is really straightforward to use. plus the silicone top makes it really easy to clean and looks nice on my countertop. the timer is super convenient for making coffee, this is an amazing scale for this price point

Love this scale! The display is pleasing, high-contrast and very clear. It has a silicone cover, and there are zero gaps around the screen and buttons, so it's easily cleaned and I don't worry about damaging the internals with water or crumbs.There is a tiny bit of float, typically less than a gram, and only occasionally. For example, I'll weigh out 19.3g of beans, seal the bag, and come back to 18.9g. It's minor enough and infrequent enough that it doesn't concern me at all.The readout is quick and responsive, and I love the timer. At first it seems a little confusing to switch between counting up and counting down, but after doing it once I have no trouble with it even half-asleep. Just hold the units button, press it again to change between modes, and use power & tare to set minutes and seconds if counting down (use play/pause to confirm each setting). Takes less than 10 seconds.Overall it's quick, accurate, and well-made. I love that it has a much smaller footprint than my old kitchen scale, and looks sleek on the counter. Perfect addition to my coffee station! I also highly recommend their gooseneck kettle if you're in the market ☕

This scale does a great job of weighing beans and shots and timing the extraction. It fits under the group head with our espresso cups. In 8 months I think we’ve only had to replace the batteries once with daily use. It doesn’t stay on too long after you use it if you don’t shut it off which I appreciate. It’s easy to use and fairly intuitive.

After a year and half of excellent performance, the platter became more and more wobbly but the readings were consistent. Finally, it was too wobbly and the readings were erratic. There was no obvious way to try to fix it and I couldn't find any help online. I wrote to Greater Goods customer service. While I was awaiting a reply I could barely see that there was a screw inside that appeared to connect to the back right behind the paper label. I pressed on the label, and it broke through to reveal...two screws! I tightened them both and my scale is back in action just like new! It's ready for years of upcoming service. If your unit starts to wobble, it's almost certainly fixable this way. Oh, and Urmila from customer service just reached out and I gave them the good news.

Muy buen producto, duradero y practico.

Awesome scale! Love the aesthetic and ease to use. I recommend it for the price compared with other scales. It is a great and stylish addition to my pour-over set up.

The scales lasted less than a year before breaking, the scales use a lot of battery powder and I had to replace the batteries more than i wanted to. The scales then refused to turn off and so used up all the battery power and became useless. The tare button stopped working.

INCREDIBLE until it wasn't, 7 months of this being a great scale until what looks like the load cell or what holds it has completely imploded. The scale "bed" is at an unusable angle and wobbles everywhere. Very sad, spent a good while researching this scale. All i've ever used it for is coffee 18-40g weighs.

Perfecta para el café diario. Funciones fáciles de manipular. No necesitas otra más sofisticada.
