It's perfect. Love it . WORKS GREAT. LOOKS GOOD. ITS ON THE MONEY. 10 out of 10

The scale has been going strong since I purchased it

This isn't any good for pour over techniques. It has no fancy bluetooth connection and does not time your shot but, for a very low price, it does a lot to improve your espresso technique starting with measuring your grinder's retention which is very important when you are single dosing and, of course, knowing the dose in the portafilter. For that purpose, what you need is 0.1g precision which means you need to get reapeatable results. For example, ideally the scale would show the same number when it weighed the same amount of coffee as beans or ground so that you know any difference in the number would be due to retention. I have been brewing my own espresso for over ten years and have used four or five scales that claimed to have the 0.1g precision. None did. Sometimes they would be off as much as 0.5g. For this purchase I decided to go with one that claimed 0.01g. I just got this scale and, of course, it does not have 0.01g but you can trust it to 0.1g which is all you need for brewing espresso. I just did the testing using single coffee beans. Besides not having the fancy extras, it does have the limitation of 500g so it is not good as a general kitchen scale but, with the low price, you can afford to get another scale for that. And 500g means you can use it to measure the liquid in the cup while you are brewing so that you can get whatever liquid to dose ratio you prefer. It is low enough that you can fit it below your cup. You are going to need a separate timing device for your shots but many of the new espresso machines have a built in timer. I have not found any scale with a timer that claims 0.01g precision. They are all designed for pour overs with 3000g or as a minimum 2000g limits and 0.1g precision and many reviewers complain that the precision is exaggerated. That includes the supposedly premium scales that cost over $200. I just got this scale today and cannot vouch for durability but I do not see any flimsy materials.

works as advertised, i like the cover/ trays it comes with, it was packaged very well, for 13 bucks, you really can't expect anything better. calibrateing wasnt a big deal, mine was about 0.05 off, which for my purpose ( measuring out espresso) its wasnt a huge deal.

This works great for the kitchen. The size is perfect. So easy to find a place to store it out of the way. Super easy to clean and the display is bright enough to see from a side view.

Easy to use. Very accurate. Easy to clean. The quality is good. Only thing worth noting is cell phone signals interfere with weighing. Make sure to not set your phone right next to this device while using. It will cause numbers to jump around. That being said it’s still a great product for the money.

I have bought so many cheap scales made in China and I’ve had nothing but trouble with them. This one also feels cheap and Flimsy, and has instructions saying things like treat it gently and avoid putting it near phone etc, and the information in the instructions seems to contradict itself, so I wasn’t at all optimistic that it would work well, but so far, I am delighted. This is the first scale I’ve owned that measures 0.05g and the weight it says doesn’t go up and down wildly as if it is very unstable. So if this one says my item weighs 3.23g, it keeps saying 3.23g, it doesn’t keep changing. No idea if it is accurate or not, but it is CONSISTENT and that is what I need for weight tiny portions of food etc for my diet. I was initially wishing it would measure something weighing 0.03g instead of measuring 0.00g until I add enough such that the weight reaches 0.05g, but a good work around is simply to put a little bowl on the scale AFTER zeroing rather than zeroing after putting the bowl on the scale, then I simply weigh out my 0.03g by adding it to the existing total. If my bowl weighs 30.42g, then I can add my 0.03g of powder to a total of 30.45g. Apparently MOST scales have trouble distinguishing very small amounts from zero, but can distinguish a very small extra bit from an existing bigger weight. A previous Chinese-made scale I had a year ago was completely useless because no matter how careful I was to keep everything still and stable with no drafts etc, the weight it showed in x.xxg was never stable, it wasn’t even stable at the level of grams, let alone mgs, so I had to throw it out. This one at least shows a stable weight. Yay!

Update; After 586 days the scale has finally given up the ghost. I should have tried to get it replaced while it was under warranty because it was always a bit wonky. About 3-4 months ago (3 months or so past the 12 month warranty) it really started acting up. I could say it was possessed by a mean spirited little sh|t that liked screwing with my head and would pass a polygraph 9/10 times. It's a sad day since I'll be outta juice before I can buy a replacement. I wish the quality control was better because I really liked the design, too bad I've had a couple. While the first AMIR scale was off by .05g, it was easy enough to adjust my measurements and I was cool with that because it was still more accurate than a .1g scale and it was priced well. That scale, exact same one as my Oct 10th 2018 purchase, it lasted just over 1 year before it decided to go off to stay with it's uncle, on his big farm. I figured it was for the best, on the farm it would have all the room to run and play, oh crap that's where the dog went, not the scale. The scale found it's way into file 13 AKA the trash. Since I've had 2 of these now and neither one making it to the 2 year mark I'm gonna have to drop it another star & I may have to try another brand or type of scale that reads .01g x 500g or .001g x 200g if I can find one at a decent price or I'll get a .001gx 100g and make smaller batches of juice, more frequently. Sory AMIR it was fun while it lasted, I'm sure you'll find the right guy for you, it's just not gonna be me. Dammit that's what I told the "real" blonde Brittany last month. Real blondes don't have brown drapes, right? Anyways I must say so long to my fairweather friend AMIR, it's been real &^ maybe we can try hanging out again once the weather gets nicer or you start making scales with better parts or quality control but, until then BYE BYE sorry about dropping you to 2 stars. If I buy another AMIR and it's accurate I'll bump you back up to 4 or 5 stars. I purchased this scale for making my own e-juice and it does so so to okay. It started off pretty close giving me readings that were + or - .01 different than the beaker that I use as a tare. After 20 or so uses the .01 grew to + or -.01-.03 which I could still work with by figuring that into the calculations but now there is a different reading between the tare weight and reading before and after using the tare. Sometimes it works great and other times the .01 portion will float around, after it settles I'll pick it up and set it back down several times and it will give me upto 4 different readings. It depends on the ingredients that are in each recipe. For flavorings that are very strong a difference of one or 2 drops can make or break a recipe and the same can be said for finishers like EM, Sweeteners sour and others. For recipes that use small amounts of strong flavorings or finishers I feel more comfortable counting a few drops than depending on the scale. With other flavors that typically have much larger %'s like TFA Ripe Strawberry and other fruit flavors the close but no cigar reading is just fine, it beats counting 60 or 70 drops. I'm not trying to be knit picky because it's not that big of a deal for me and my uses. I've got a decent collection of flavors I make 30, 40,60 and 120 ml of, so I don't make many taster size recipes that accuracy down to .01 is necessary. Compared to the amount of juice I use to dump down the drain using a .01 scale and counting drop I've definitely saved enough money that this scale is paid for and have enough left over to spend $20 on a .001 scale. If you weren't confused enough before reading this, you are now. My job here is done (mic drop). But seriously, i hope this review will help the picky picky folks out there pick a $20 .00 gram scale. For all you stoners and sloppy jalopy juice makers dis scale b jus fine.;-}

as per description. Easy to use. small enough to be stored in a kitchen drawer.

يحسب بطريقة شبه دقيقة قمت باختباره بقياس منتجات عليها ملصق الوزن وقام باعطاء تقدير دقيق جدا (مثال: قمت بقياس وزن شريحة جبن تقدره الشركة المنتجة ب ٤٠ غرام واعطى نفس التقدير بالضبط ايضا قمت بقياس مغلق معكرونة ٢٥٠ غرام واعطى نفس التقدير تقريبا ٢٥٠.٨) العيب الوحيد في المنتج حجمه صغير قد تحتاج اداة وسيطة لرفع الغرض المراد قياسه لتظهر الشاشة في حال كان حجمه كبير. اردت انصاف المنتج بهذا التعليق اتمنى ان يكون مفيد وقد يكون من حسن حظي ان القطعة التي وصلتي جيدة بعكس بقية القطع لذلك انا اقيم القطعة التي لدي فقط.

Ottimo prodotto. 10+ per rapporto qualità / prezzo.

Use for measuring my coffee. Very accurate

Received the package when it is supposed to be delivered, great service. It has multi-language instructions that are great. If you are in UAE, you cannot guess what the language of the buyer is :) The package includes the batteries, I don’t need to think where should I buy the battery, another thumbs up. The scale is great, as sensitive as it is explained. Even it can measure milligrams that’s awesome! It is straightforward to read the values even in low light conditions. I had tried many different scales before but I could not have found the as accurate as this scale. Thanks to TRANSFORMATION STORE.
