Review on ☕ Coffee Timer Scale for Precision Kitchen Weighing - Pecosso Digital Food Scale for Baking and Cooking with LED Backlit Display - Small Espresso Scale with High Accuracy (3kg/0.1g) - Batteries Included by Trish Edens

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pretty accurate, but auto-off can't be turned off

The scale is pretty accurate for something that costs just over $20, but I'm lowering my rating from 4 start to 3 because of the very uncomfortable 2 minutes ( approx.) an auto-off function, which unfortunately cannot be deactivated. This makes it impossible to count longer than 2 minutes. Funny how the instructions say you can set the time up to 99 minutes! The 2-minute shutdown can also be frustrating when you're weighing coffee beans and then have to attend to something else, e.g. B. to open another bag of coffee. Coffee - before you finish weighing. The scale will turn off after waiting 2 minutes and your weight will be lost. This has happened to me a few times but luckily I remembered the last weight so I could add whatever I wanted. If it wasn't possible to turn off the 2 minute timeout, this would be a decent coffee brew scale. Maybe I can hack this thing to bypass shutdown - add my own power button. Yes, this will void your warranty, but for $22 it's a worthwhile hack. I will update if I manage to complete this hack.

Pros
  • Best quality
Cons
  • Infinitely slow
