Mini Coffee Scale with Timer, Maestri House Rechargeable Espresso Scale, 2kg/0.1g Accurate Scale for Espresso and Pour-Over Coffee, Portable Digital Kitchen Scale with Automatic Timing-Black

Great for pulling espresso shots or making pour over. Small, accurate, and easy to read

I didn't expect much but it works really well and seems to be very accurate. It's much more sensitive (to 0.1g) than the scale I was using to measure my coffee and the autostart timer works really well. Also, unlike my other scale, this one is USB-C rechargable and so far has no indication of needing a recharge after a week or so of daily use. My other scale uses CR2032 batteries and goes through a pair every three weeks, so being able to recharge instead is quite nice. It's small and I can use it to time the extraction and also use it to measure out heated water for tea, or whatever I need. This is definitely a steal for the price.

A great accessory if you make espresso at home. It is very sensitive, when measuring 18 g really matters. It has a timer which I’ve never used. Auto shut off is very useful.

Super nice unit. Calibrates every time, automatically adjusts for tare weight, accurate and easy to read gram scale, great functional timer for pour-overs. I totally recommend this scale.

Great little scale. Purchased this one because my previous scale finally kicked the bucket after about a year. This one was about $10 more expensive than the previous one, but checked two major quality of life boxes; it's quite a bit smaller compared to similarly priced scales, small enough to confortably fit underneath a breville bambino. It also has a rechargable battery via USB C. Those two features alone make it worth the slightly higher price of any other scale in this price range. That being said, there is one major gripe that I do have to dock a star for. The tare button is also the power button, and it's also just a capacitive button on the face of the scale. So when you press the tare button, the weight reading goes up while youre finger is on the button. It becomes a delicate balancing act of pressing the button long enough for the capacitive button to register, but not too long that it shuts the scale off, and also quickly enough that your finger is off of the scale by the time it tares so the weight reading is correct. The auto timer features is also next to useless as it doesn't start the timer until well after liquid starts to flow, but having to manually start the timer isnt the end of the world (and I honestly didnt even realize it had the auto timer functionality when I purchased it) Another very minor gripe is that, because of the size of the scale, the readout can be difficult to see with the medium sized bowl I use for dosing my beans, but that's just a tradeoff you have to make for the size. I'd rather have a smaller scale that takes up less room on the counter and fits nicely under my espresso machine.

This scale does the job, and it's so light and easy to store. I mainly use it for lattes when I want to make sure my portions are correct.

TLDR: Buy it. It works well, it has impressive and useful features, it looks great, it’s thin/low-profile, and it’s a great price. Detailed review: I’m very happy with this scale, and it has certainly upped my espresso game by leaps and bounds. I’m able to weigh my beans very precisely down to a tenth of a gram (roughly the weight of a single bean), so my dosing is on point. Also, it fits beneath the portafilter with room to spare for my cup, so I can weigh my shots and accurately measure my input/output ratio. And automatic mode is magic! When the espresso hits the cup, the timer starts running, so I can measure flow rate along with everything else! Overall, super easy to use and very necessary for the at-home barista. One caveat: It acted weird on the 2nd or 3rd day, and I thought I was going to have to return it. The weight would slowly creep up even though I wasn’t adding any coffee. I dusted it off, made sure it was dry, set it on a more stable surface… I still don’t know what the matter was, but it stopped freaking out and it hasn’t really given me any trouble since. Also, I should mention that the automatic function doesn’t always work 100% perfectly; it works, and usually works quite well, but depending on the flow rate, you might get some drops dribbling into the cup and the timer not detect it right away. (I think the timer must be activated according to some sort of algorithm that looks for a certain increase in a certain amount of time, so a slower initial drip rate might not trigger it at first.) Also weirdly, it seems like about half of the time when the weight stops increasing (i.e., espresso stops flowing) , the timer pauses (as I think it’s supposed to do), but other times, the timer keeps running until you manually stop it. I don’t know… It’s a weird glitch, I guess, but it doesn’t really make any difference. The weight is accurate, and that’s the primary thing to keep an eye on. So, is it perfect? No, I guess not. But, it works extremely well and functions perfectly for my purposes. In fact, it’s a lot nicer and fancier than I expected – plus, it’s more affordable and more streamlined than its obvious rival the Acacia.

To disable the beep sound, you can hold both buttons on the front until you hear a beep, and then the sound will be disabled. The problem is that once you turn off the scale using the switch, the beep will be back once you turn the scale back on. I don't want my scale to beep at all, and I don't want to turn off the beep every time I use it. There are other scales with this same size, form factor, and price that don't have this problem. I returned this scale and bought one that has a power switch with three settings, off, on without sound, and on with sound. With this design, I can flip the power switch to the middle position each time I use it, and never have to deal with any beeping.

Great product, automatic timer function works fantastically making dialling in coffee much easier. Fits on Ninja Luxe espresso machines easily due to its small size. This really helps making the perfect espresso! Easily fit a large cappuccino mug on top while espresso is being made. Easy to use easy and to clean. So far so good ! Light weight. Display is clear to see while standing up. Compared to other products, I’d say this is value for money and is a much more popular brand compared to timemore in the UK.

Ich nutze die Maestri House Mini Kaffeewaage vor allem für Espresso und bin richtig zufrieden. Die 0,1-g-Auflösung hilft beim sauberen Dosieren und der Timer macht die Zubereitung deutlich konstanter. Praktisch ist auch, dass sie wiederaufladbar ist – kein Batteriewechsel, einfach laden und weiter nutzen. Die Waage ist kompakt, schnell einsatzbereit und lässt sich im Alltag unkompliziert bedienen (Tara/Timer). Für alle, die beim Kaffee gern reproduzierbar arbeiten, eine klare Empfehlung.

Great little scale for espresso. I mainly use it to weigh out espresso shots and it’s been consistently accurate every time. The size is perfect for my coffee setup, it fits on the drip tray of my Breville Barista Pro and I really like that it’s rechargeable instead of using disposable batteries. Very happy with this purchase.”
