OXO Brew 6 Lb. Precision Coffee Scale with Timer, Black

Don’t listen to the negative reviews. I worked as a barista at one of the top coffee programs in the USA. There, we used Acacia chemistry-grade scales that cost $190. Will a $30 scale live up to the quality of one 6x the price? No. Is this a spectacular solution for the home barista? Absolutely. It’s hyper reactive, comes with a timer, and is very precise.If you’re brewing one-two cups of coffee at home a day, precision matters less than brewing 100 cups at a commercial location. Coffee is a living product and degases over time—affecting the extraction. If you’re worried about .1g dose when yo

So far, no complaints. The “feather touch” feature is not necessary. People complain about it, but you can just press to zero it out - no need to finesse it with the “feather touch.”

This scale has ruined multiple cups of coffee.It’s fine in the day to day, but every once in a while, the batteries will die and it will shut off in the middle of a pour. You can turn it back on, but you’ll lose your measurement.If you’re pouring a cup, you will be left guessing your ratio by the end.Beyond that, the buttons are really sensitive and can be bumped easily. Multiple times I’ve accidentally bumped it to pause the timer or Tare.In the end, I really wanted to like this one. I’ve used it for two years. At this point, I’m giving up. It’s no good. Don’t buy it

Like most OXO products, this is very good. But unlike most OXO products I have, I have a few qualms about this:1. The battery life isn't very good. I'd say that the set of 4 AAA batteries lasted about 2-3 months; compared to a cheap Chinese kitchen scale that I've had for years, that takes 2 AAAs, and I haven't had to change them yet... Of course, this does a lot more, but I still would like to not have to change them as often. (So I bought some Eneloop AAAs and a Panasonic charger, finally.)2. The speed at which the display updates is not consistent. One would expect that the timer would upda

Got it as a requested gift, they love it.

Pros:Large weighing area, easy to read, simple to clean, relatively quick to boot, and easy to use interface.Cons:Precision - The scale displays weight down to a tenth of a gram and it appears accurate, but the scale won't update until 0.5 grams have actually been added to the quantity being weighed. The effect is that the effective accuracy is 0.5 grams. Something that is explicitly a coffee scale where you'd like the ability to accurately weigh out single doses under 10 grams, with an advertised precision of 0.1 grams, that's unacceptable.Batteries - The scale takes 4 AAA batteries and these

The Oxo Coffee Scale is magnificent accuracy for the money and basic features.It may not offer all the bells and whistles and sensitivity other scales offers (depending on the size of the coffee bean the scale may ignore or pick up added weight of bean), but what it does offer is basic good weighing and timing results. The weight it gives you is remarkably accurate with moving water for pour overs.This scale offers results, accuracy, and timing for people wanting to improve their coffee making without wondering how many coffees they will have to make to not feel like they paid too much.

I normally love OXO kitchen goods. I have many of their items in my kitchen. I purchased this at the same time as their variable temperature kettle, which is amazing by the way. This scale? Not so much.First, if you're kind of into getting approximate weights, this is okay. But if you're buying a scale to get in a ballpark, then eyeing it is probably just as good. But im trying for the perfect cup every day. To the extent that I've even created a spreadsheet to track my brews. I want to track everything as accurately as possible.The problem with this scale is that once you get to the very fine
