📏 MAXUS Espresso Scale with Timer: Small and Handy Barista Scale for Perfect Coffee Brewing Review

This is my third scale. There seems to be a lot of people renaming this scale. This is the first I've ever seen the brand itself use as a coffee scale. I love the little details on this one (compared to others) like the circle in the center of the scale. I bought it to have the scale on the go. I often forget my scale when drinking espresso on the go. I will use my existing scales on the go and use these at home. My very first one got crushed in my luggage (there are 3 in total). What I like…

These are good scales. It fits under my Gaggia Classic with a slightly short and stocky Asian teacup used as an espresso shot. The screen is well lit and easy to read. The removable lid, which is turned sideways and placed on the scale, provides a convenient platform for weighing the entire portafilter and dosing handle. The automatic shut-off time is long enough to unload the portafilter and funnel, grind and weigh the dose in the filter. Cons: Battery life can be a bit low. I've been using it

I ordered this to use as an espresso scale and timer. Works well. responsive. There is no noticeable lag when weighing. The scale keeps up with my shot when I pull on it, making it very reliable in knowing when to stop my shots. No noise. I really appreciate that it doesn't beep or make any noise.

The smart features have some benefits like measuring flow, timing start and stop based on when a shot is fired, recording your shots over time, etc. All of these are really nice to have. But I just want something to use under my espresso machine to get accurate readings for my shot. The timer is good too, but I have a…

This little thing is big enough to fit in a mug or tray of beans. good size I have other kitchen scales that rest on rubber feet, so all 4 feet of this scale need to be on a flat surface to get accurate readings. Not so easy when you attach a scale to the drip tray of an espresso machine. This scale has a flat bottom, no feet that need to be in close and even contact, so you can use it on uneven surfaces like a drip pan. They are backlit! Turn it on, the display is very clear, high-contrast…

Pretty much everything I'm looking for in an espresso scale at an extremely reasonable price. But the reasons for its low price are not surprising and will become apparent pretty soon. My rating stays at the average level until I'm convinced otherwise. Advantages: • Fits easily under a Flair espresso machine. • Built-in countdown timer. • Backlight, legible readings. • Affordable price. Disadvantages: • Obviously vulnerable to liquids. • Temporary Accuracy. • Delay of 1-2 seconds or more. • The
