- Greater Goods Coffee Scale with Timer – 0.1g Precision Digital Coffee & Espresso Scale for Pour-Over, Coffee Bean Weighing, Barista Brewing, Waterproof Cover, 3kg Capacity (Onyx Black)

Had this for over a year now and no real issues. The only issue I can think of is that if something is a bit too close to the scale, the scale can fluctuate a bit by a gram or so. Just make sure nothing is touching it, especially anything electronic. Beyond that, it's a no-nonsense scale that works great with actual tactile buttons. Its refresh rate can lag behind a tiny bit, but you get used to it by stopping your pours in anticipation. For example, I typically do 300mL pours in total, and I usually start slowing down/stopping at around 280g. Battery life is pretty good, but the battery life indicator doesn't do a good job of letting you know when you need to replace the batteries. So you may end up with it powering off mid-brew, but I've only had to replace the batteries once despite daily use over the past year or so. That being said, it's useful to also do stuff like the 4:6 method based on water level vs timer too. I'd also say it may not be extremely accurate as sometimes it fluctuates by .1 grams, but it is accurate enough for practical purposes. For reference, .1g is simply ~1 coffee bean, and unless you're an espresso perfectionist, 1 coffee bean isn't going to make any real difference. In summary: + Just the essentials if you only want the essentials + Tactile buttons + Display is pretty nice + Accurate enough for practical purposes + Battery life very good + Will work for at least a year, can't say any longer until I own it for longer + Great for the cost = WIll not refresh weight as quickly as say an acacia scale which costs at least four times as much, easy to compensate for - Battery life indicator isn't great, so it may power off mid-brew every half year or so - Sensitive to adjacent electronic devices, 1 or 2 inches is enough distance - Sensitive to adjacent objects, be mindful of anything that is touching the silicone, even if it's barely touching by a hair

I'm very happy with the accuracy and refresh rate of the scale. The two tone LED color scheme is a nice touch. I also like that the silicone cover is well-affixed to the scale and won't slide around. I only wish the scale came in white! Don't be fooled by other reviews. This scale doesn't "drift" any more or less than any other scale. Those people who say otherwise are likely storing it in a very different temperature environment than their use area. See photos for the test I did with boiling hot water in an uninsulated carafe. 0.0g drift on all tests, with or without the silicone protector, after several minutes of letting the carafe sit on the scale surface. The only time I experienced measurement drift was when I got the package from 30F freezing outdoor conditions, unboxed it and tried it out without letting the scale warm up to ambient. The measured weight slowly dropped until it warmed up to 70F room temp; since then it's been rock solid. That is totally normal for any scale that any manufacturer, cheap or expensive, makes. It's just how this kind of scale works. Overall if you're looking for a nice scale with timer functionality, I highly recommend the Greater Goods scale.

Absolutely love this coffee scale! For starters it was so well packaged. It is definitely worth what you pay for it. It has a silicon removable mat that fits snugly over the top of the scale. That makes it easy to pop it off to clean if you spill on it. The scale responds instantly to changes in weight which helps to give you accurate pour over results every single time. The scale also includes a built-in timer with a count-up or down control. It also has an auto shutoff but gives you plenty of time before it shuts off. There are multiple units to choose from when measuring. Overall just a really great scale and I'm so glad I purchased it!

This scale is great. Eats batteries a little faster than expected. However, it performs great. Easy to read. Easy to understand. Easy to clean.

If you've read some of the other reviews, you'll find that this scale has a quirk. Apparently, the loadcell is susceptible to static interference from nearby things (a close wave of the hand will change the display briefly). I read another review that seemed to take the position that this was a flaw and yet the scale still operated perfectly fine. I can concur.. I bought this scale because I liked the design better than other similarly priced options. I can't abide a "green scale" with it's always-on backlight. Not early in the morning. Not late at night. Least of all wasting battery power in the middle of the day when I need that function least. And the myriad "hello" scales -you should realize at this point i've done my research on budget scales- all seem to have various random complaints on build-related issues and accuracy. This is the scale I saw first, with the design I liked most and it has a reasonable precision and indeed, accuracy. I like that the negative display is easy to read without a backlight. I like that the buttons are not touch sensitive garbage that will wear out next tuesday but tactile and easy to press. The functions work simply and as for the "critical flaw": though I can get the readout to change if I move my hand close to the pan, avoiding doing this very specific motion causes the scale to act normally. The scale seems to have reasonable accuracy, which I have checked against my other, more precise (to the hundredth of a gram), tea scale. I think it is well designed - I like the design so much I bought it despite the various specific negative reviews. The one thing i would gripe about other than just the unshielded status of the loadcell is the build quality. It is fairly obvious from the plastic build, and particularly the quality of the plastic, that this is not a premium product. Still, it's by no means bad and I quite like the actual thing more than pictures I've seen of "hello" scales (for example). I could easily see shelling out another 10 or 15 bucks on a more refined version of this very scale, but as it is, I think it is exactly what I wanted. Hopefully it will last for quite a while. Edit: I would like to report back that after a year and six months of daily use, this scale is still kicking strong. I think i've replaced the batteries twice: Actually, after the originals went dead, I replaced them with rechargeable eneloops.. Great Scale. I have no complaints.

This is a really nicely made scale. It is accurate and steady in holding a weight measurement. The timer and weighing features are user-friendly, making it perfect for home coffee brewing, especially for pour-over coffee. While it lacks Bluetooth connectivity and advanced timer options like multiple countdowns and brew cycle customization, I view these as nice-to-have features. Those are more useful in commercial settings where a barista might be trying to keep track of multiple tasks at the same time. If you are a home coffee connoisseur just focused on perfecting a single pour-over at a time, this scale will do everything you need.

Love this scale. Easy to use, clean look, presumably accurate :)

in hopes this will help anyone else who bought this scale- this thing is super sensitive to vibrations. if your scale is getting off calibration for seemingly no reason, make sure the sides and the back aren’t touching anything else and that the bottom is on a flat surface and it will fix it entirely, trust me!! but aside from that, this scale works absolutely perfectly. it’s just the right size for my morning coffee, has great battery life, and is really straightforward to use. plus the silicone top makes it really easy to clean and looks nice on my countertop. the timer is super convenient for making coffee, this is an amazing scale for this price point

Muy buen producto, duradero y practico.

Good

Awesome scale! Love the aesthetic and ease to use. I recommend it for the price compared with other scales. It is a great and stylish addition to my pour-over set up.

The scales lasted less than a year before breaking, the scales use a lot of battery powder and I had to replace the batteries more than i wanted to. The scales then refused to turn off and so used up all the battery power and became useless. The tare button stopped working.

INCREDIBLE until it wasn't, 7 months of this being a great scale until what looks like the load cell or what holds it has completely imploded. The scale "bed" is at an unusable angle and wobbles everywhere. Very sad, spent a good while researching this scale. All i've ever used it for is coffee 18-40g weighs.
