📏 ERAVSOW Coffee Scale with Timer - Precision Stainless Steel Kitchen Food Weight Scale with LCD Display & Hanger Hole - 6.6lb/3kg Review

I bought this scale in addition to my Chemex (Chemex classic range, cast glass coffee maker, 6 cup) and kettle (Bonavita 1.0L temperature controlled flexible neck digital kettle). I didn't think I really needed that kind of precision when brewing coffee, but I didn't even come close to what I thought I was brewing. I didn't have enough grind and I used too much water. Now my coffee is smooth and tasty. Time contributes to this consistency and ensures my bloom and rest are always the same. I…

The scale is a must have for any barista, it works very well and is very easy to use. I was able to easily place my empty porta filter on this scale, hit the break button to zero it, then fill the pf with regrind and measure until I had the amount I wanted. The result is a much better, if not perfect, espresso compared to what I've been making to the point where I blindly used a disproportionate amount of grounds and got very watery in the extraction. I've only used this scale during the day…

I have been using this scale to weigh coffee beans almost every day for the past 6 months. The included batteries only died a few weeks ago, so a lifespan of around 5 months on a set of batteries seems pretty good to me. Replaced the batteries with rechargeable ones and it works perfectly. The only weird thing is that when you first changed the battery it showed full power and the next day it showed a bar. However, I don't care how accurate the battery gauge is as long as it works. It could…

I broke my hario when coffee spilled on it so I went for something cheaper. I had high hopes for this scale, but unfortunately it has some accuracy and consistency issues. It's minor, but enough to make me wish I'd spent the extra dough on something else. One problem is that the weight doesn't exactly adjust as you add things - it tends to stay at its current reading and then jump up a few tenths of a gram at a time, making accurate measurements difficult. Another problem is uneven weight. It…

I broke my own rule and it bit me again. I know you can never trust the positive reviews here without reading the negative ones. If many of them are saying the same thing, you should know something is wrong. But I was fooled by the abrupt selling price and jumped on it without even thinking about where I bought it. Reading is slow to respond in real time. Jump when you need to be stable. Returns different values for the same object with different weights. Completely useless if you need…

It was a great scale. I've used it for espresso and pourover coffees and to bake bread. While it worked well, its only limitation was the 3kg limit, which I occasionally encountered when using a heavy glass bowl to make batter for two loaves of bread. It seemed really accurate and the delay between the weight added and the scale reading was very helpful. The weight of only one tenth of a gram was particularly practical for preparing espresso. The timer is great - I used it every time I made…

I use this scale as a regular kitchen scale, not a timed coffee scale, so my rating will reflect my use. I bought because they measure down to 0.1 grams which is 10x better resolution than most kitchen scales, like my favorite OXO which died after many years. I don't usually need such fine resolution, but I need to know grams exactly so that when I see tenths of a gram, I can see exactly how close I am to that 1 gram difference. For example, less accurate scales don't respond to tiny changes in
