FAQs

How do I find the best coffee scale for me?

Before you decide on a model, you should think about what functions you want in a coffee scale. Is a model with a weight display and timer to monitor the amount and brewing time enough for you? Or would you also like to connect your scales to your mobile phone via Bluetooth in order to discover new recipes for coffee and espresso in the various apps? Of course, the price of the coffee scale depends on your wishes in terms of design and functionality. With us you are guaranteed to find the right model for your home kitchen.

What should I look out for when buying a coffee scale?

So that you can enjoy the best coffee or espresso, you should make sure that the coffee scale displays the weight as accurately as possible. The scaling should show at least 1 gram increments. In addition, the scale should be robust and waterproof so that you can easily wipe it clean. Depending on the model, the scale is powered by a rechargeable battery or batteries. If you prefer one of the two variants, you should also pay attention to it when buying.

What is the difference between a kitchen scale and a coffee scale?

If you're wondering if you can't just use a kitchen scale instead of a coffee scale, we don't recommend it. On the one hand, because the scaling of a normal kitchen scale is usually less precise than that of a coffee scale. Since the art of brewing coffee is the exact dosing of water and coffee powder, even slight deviations in coffee dosing due to inaccurate scales can affect the taste. On the other hand, in contrast to kitchen scales, the precision scales have an integrated timer, which means that you can easily keep an eye on the brewing time as well as the weight. In terms of size, the coffee scale is also the better choice for preparing coffee, as you can use many models under a portafilter machine thanks to their compact dimensions.

This allows you to dose your coffee powder precisely when preparing coffee and espresso, which has a positive effect on the taste of your coffee or espresso.

With a coffee scale, you can easily find the optimal ratio between water and coffee powder. Due to the mostly compact dimensions, coffee scales find their place even in the smallest kitchen. Find the right model for you and enjoy exquisite coffee and espresso in your home kitchen every day.
