I don't normally write reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well the scale works for the price. The LED is nice and bright and easy to read, and it seems very accurate and responds quickly when you add something onto the tray. It seems very well built; the build is all plastic except for the metal tray, but the plastic seems very durable and at this price point I think that is to be expected.I also really like the size of it, it is small enough to fit well on the drip tray of my Delonghi Stilosa. That said, while it is fairly low-profile you will want to double check the clearance with your machine if using this for espresso. On mine (the Stilosa), it will NOT fit using the protafilter that comes with the machine as there isn't enough clearance, but using a bottomless portafilter it has just enough room. Not necessarily a bad thing, but just something to double check when buying. Only other thing that would be nice is if it included a timer function, which it doesn't, but you can definitely get by without that.Overall, this is a great little scale for brewing coffee, and for the price you can't beat it!

There's a lot to like about this scale, and it leaves a great first impression. Subsequent uses can be more frustrating, but it's still great, and for me, it's a great replacement for bulkier, more-expensive, less-efficient scales.First, it's very small and sleek. It feels light but solid, with a vibrant display and a self-explanatory interface. It seems more than accurate enough for my needs, but that's one spot where its reach seems to exceed its grasp. I've never needed to know, to 1/10 of a gram, what something weighs. I know that there are times when it's good or essential to know, but at this price point, I don't expect it. Still, the scale makes an admirable attempt, and in my testing, it really does seem accurate to .1 or .2 grams. That super-scientific testing was conducted by verifying that the scale was level and tared, then taking a solid object, like a phone or glass, and weighing it about 10 times, letting the scale return to 0 between weighings.That precision degrades a bit when needing to weigh larger things, as it's often hard to make good contact with the surface (technical term), especially when trying to use the lid as a kind of expansion plate. Of course, it's probably not as important to have such a small margin of error with larger objects, but since I'm not a jeweler, chemist, or pharmacist, the larger objects are what I'm weighing most, and it feels kind of precarious. Similarly, while some people might really value the extensive units of weight, I stick to grams and ounces, and having 3 times as many as I need just means more to cycle through.So, if you find yourself needing to weigh things, it will probably do a great job, and it's probably prettier and easier to clean than whatever else you might be considering. Buy it!

Have only used this scale for a few days but I can see why it has such positive reviews Easy to set up, turns on and off immediately, tare weight adjustment is great and the enclosed cover is great for larger measurements such as he portafilter. Very happy with purchase.
