Why this helps make better coffee

When you straighten a cup, tare the weight and start the timer at the same time, the point at which you begin measuring can shift without you noticing. Different actions make your notes harder to compare. Automatic functions can help, provided you know which mode is active and exactly what triggers the timer.

The coffee scale with auto-timer combines weighing with a timer and, according to the current supplier, offers auto-tare and auto-timer functions. Use these to repeat the same measurement process with fewer actions. Check the screen to confirm that taring and timing work as expected. The scale does not select an espresso recipe or correct the grind setting by itself.

For whom is this not necessary?

Not necessary if you already work comfortably and consistently with a simple scale and manual timer. Automatic functions do not make different recipes directly comparable by themselves. A smaller model may be more practical for a very small drip tray.

  • Compatibility

    The current dimensions are 128 Γ— 118 Γ— 20 mm. Measure your drip tray, the clearance beneath the outlet and your cup together. Check that the scale has level support and that your cup does not touch anything else. A photograph of the same machine brand does not prove that it fits your particular model.

Advice from Geert-Jan the Barista Man

With over 10 years of experience in providing barista workshops at home, at businesses, and in Amsterdam, Geert-Jan is happy to share his advice.

Who is Geert-Jan?

From practice:

Geert-Jan de Baristaman helps you choose a consistent measurement method first. Record how much ground coffee you use, how much espresso you produce and when you start counting time. Use the same method when comparing two extractions.

My advice:

Useful when automatic taring and timing make your routine more straightforward. Learn the controls first and check that automatic starting suits your workflow. A good-looking time reading alone does not prove a good extraction.

Here's how to use this in your coffee routine

A barista tool only really works well when you know where it fits into your routine.

Get into the routine:

For dosing and during every brewing cycle

Usage:

For dosing and during every brewing cycle

Geert-Jan's tip:

Test the automatic functions deliberately with an empty cup and a filled cup first. This helps you recognise the difference between manual starting, automatic starting and taring without guessing during an actual extraction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Zwarte koffieweegschaal met auto-timer en mat

Will this scale fit under my machine?

Check the 128 Γ— 118 Γ— 20 mm dimensions against your drip tray and add the height of your own cup. Also make sure everything sits securely and the display remains readable. A general brand reference is not a guarantee of fit.

Does this model automatically tare and time?

The current supplier lists auto-tare and auto-timer. Which actions activate these functions depends on the selected mode; follow the included manual and check the screen.

Is a good time enough for delicious espresso?

No. Compare time alongside dose, yield and what you taste. Do not treat a fixed time as a universal guarantee for every coffee bean and filter basket.

How do I charge this scale?

The current supplier specifies USB-C charging. Follow the included charging instructions. Do not rely on the old mention of AAA batteries.

How much can this scale weigh?

The current supplier specifies a maximum capacity of 2,200 grams. Also check that your setup sits securely on the weighing surface. Capacity tells you nothing about the clearance beneath your machine.
