Great Scale for fine measurements, best I could hope for so give it a go!
I'm using this as an ordinary kitchen scale not as a pour over coffee scale with timer so my review will reflect my usage. I bought because it measures to 0.1grams which is 10 times finer resolution than most kitchen scales like my beloved OXO that died after many years. I don't usually need that fine a resolution but I do need to know to the exact gram so by seeing tenths of a gram I can see exactly how close I am to that 1 gram diference. For example less exact scales aren't sensitive to tiny changes in weight so if you make several tiny additions to get a scale to register 1 more gram it isn't sensitive enough to register those tiny change so to see if you finally added enough flour to get to say 30 grams. With ordinary scakes you have to remove the item from the scale & reweigh the whole thing because a lesser scale just doesn't register tiny incremental additions or subsubtractions. That makes this scale actually accurate to the tiny amounts you add or subtract to get an exact weight in whole grams so its ten times better in my book for less money than my previous scale. The display is very stable, meaning a weight doesn't jump up & down a few times before it settles on the true weight which is exactly how scales should work and its fast. I think the trade off for this increased accuracy is that its upper weight limit is less than the OXO & others but when making 1, 2, or 3 cakes or loaves you need to weigh small addition like salt and spices. If you need to weigh big slabs of meat this scales doesn't weigh heavy enough for that so compare how you will use the scale to it's listed specs when choosing. So far its been very consistent, stable & fast. Also the tare waorks well & quickly plus the auto shut off feature gives you enough time to handle distractions like checking the recipe or openibg a new bag of flour so that function also balances need with the econy of saving batteries. Others have shut off too soon making me totally nuts so keep this little feature in mind.The only minor quibble I have is that it has an orange display which is my least favorite color but its bright & clear to read so no real argument from me & if it holds up over time I will be a very happy woman, but so far so good! I have used it multiple times daily for a couple months now to maintain my Sourdough starter & make bread and it's perfect for that and it has gotten a workout before I wrote this review. I hope it helps you chose as there are so many scales to choose from its difficult to hit all the right buttons but this scale has done that nicely! Happy baking!
