You change the grind, the shot changes, and you have no idea whether it was the grind or the fact that you put in 17.8 g this time instead of 16.4 g. A scale turns espresso from a guess into a number you can repeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy this one\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0.1 g resolution\u003c\/strong\u003e, up to 2 kg — fine enough for a dose, big enough for a pour-over jug.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in timer\u003c\/strong\u003e that you start and pause on the scale itself, so you can read grams and seconds without a phone on the drip tray.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e22 mm thin\u003c\/strong\u003e, 140 × 124 mm — low enough to sit under the portafilter on most home machines, where a chunky kitchen scale will not fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree modes\u003c\/strong\u003e: espresso (weight plus timer), hand-drip, and plain kitchen weighing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB-C rechargeable.\u003c\/strong\u003e No hunting for coin cells.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSound on or off\u003c\/strong\u003e with a switch on the side, because a beeping scale at six in the morning is its own kind of problem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it is, plainly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA plastic-bodied scale, not a machined Acaia. It weighs accurately to a tenth of a gram and times your shot, which is the whole job. If you want a waterproof brew scale with auto-tare and flow-rate graphs, buy one of those instead — it will cost you four times this. We would rather you own an honest €39.95 scale than no scale at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not waterproof. Wipe it, don't rinse it, and keep it out of the group-head drip line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits every machine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no size to choose here — unlike our tampers and dosing rings, a scale is a scale.
