A digital coffee scale built for café and barista use. The 5kg capacity covers everything from individual 18g espresso doses through to bulk dosing of beans at the grinder, with 1g increments giving the precision needed for consistent extraction across a service. The integrated timer is what sets a coffee scale apart from a regular kitchen scale — one button starts the timer when water hits the puck, so you can dial in your espresso shot time and pour-over flow rate without juggling a phone stopwatch.
The slim 130 x 190mm platform fits under the espresso group head or a pour-over dripper without needing to lift the cup or kettle awkwardly. The compact footprint also matters at a busy bar, where every centimetre of bench space is contested between the grinder, machine, milk station, and prep area.
Tare function lets you zero the weight of the cup, portafilter, or pour-over carafe before measuring the coffee — essential for getting a true brew ratio rather than approximating. Multiple weight units (5 in total) cover grams, ounces, and other measurements depending on how the recipe or barista training is calibrated.
For specialty cafés, the value is consistency. Once a barista has dialled in a recipe — say 18g in, 36g out, 28-second extraction — a scale with a timer makes that recipe repeatable across every shot, every barista, every shift. For home espresso users moving from a basic setup to something serious, this is the tool that takes coffee from "tastes alright" to "tastes the same as my favourite café."
