Surprisingly good
Considering that this is a bargain option, my unit is pretty accurate (measured with standardized weights) and does the job pretty well. Measures in 10ths of a gram. The display is nicely readable. I could quibble with how quickly it registers, but it’s fast enough. It’s become my go-to because it’s small and easy.I don’t really use the timer feature because I have a PID that handles timing, but I tried it enough to say it works. You touch it at the same time as starting the pump, and Inwoold use it if I didn’t have that feature on my machine. I’ve tried the automatic timer feature that starts when it measures a change in weight. It seems to work well. So far, the only maintenence has been wiping it clean and occasionally charging it.

Does what it's supposed to do: accurately weigh coffee :-)
As I have become more/more involved in grinding my own coffee beans, and having just bought a new coffee machine with its own particular requirements/recommendations, it became clear I needed a small scale to measure the amount of grinds I put into this new machine without being in danger of causing the dreaded overflow. I checked available scales for this purpose and liked what I saw with this scale. It's everything I thought it would be: small, very obviously well made, and highly accurate. It's easy to operate, also. I also like its ability to charge using USB ports. To me, this scale is every bit worth Five Stars! Very happy I bought it!

Nice kit.
Great little scale for espresso lovers. Holds a solid charge, works reliably, looks great and takes up very little space.

Almost perfect, and at a market defying price-point
Has a fantastic look/feel. I'm not saying it's QUITE on the level of the Acaia Lunar, but I've never once thought that this scale feels cheap.It has an attached rubber port cover, which the Lunar doesn't have. Really good stuff.Accurate enough, though it's not as responsive as I would like. Sometimes, when dispensing beans by weight, I have to press a bit on the scale to get it to account for the bean I just dropped on the pile. That's annoying. When it does register an added bean, it's still not QUITE as fast as I'd like.Other than that, it's essentially flawless. Apart from the problem ALL capacitive touch-controlled scales have, which is that a messy shot out of a bottomless portafilter can reset your scale, thereby foiling your extraction-by-weight attempt. To be clear, this hasn't really happened for me.It's a great scale. At ~$30, I really can't complain at all. The Lunar is like 8 times this price...

dead battery in a month UPDATE -UP RATED
I have bought several of these from other sellers. The batteries all failed eventually. I really liked this one. With the glass top, the slightly larger body and the higher price I thought this one might be different. I destroyed one of the other ones to see if I could see the battery, and failed.The battery indicator started flashing on this one after two weeks. I charged it overnight and and it was still flashing. I charged it for another night - I read somewhere to not use a "fast charger" but no definition of how fast. So I used an old Apple original cube because I don't they get any slower than that. Eventually I used it with light flashing for two more weeks before it quit altogether. So I searched most of the other similar ones here - (and there a lot of them) to try again. All of them had reviews mentioning early battery failure. The 4 star ratings appeared to come from people that wrote them after a few uses. I was about to give up and use a huge kitchen scale. But in one of the reviews a guy writes that these don't work with "standard USB C cables". ???? USB C IS A STANDARD!! Anything else is not USBC. Just on a whim, because I had run out of options, I looked around and found a cable that came with one the scales I had bought. I charged it overnight as before. Next morning it came on and the light was not flashing. How many people on this planet have iPhones or something else with a USB C cable and it's already plugged into a charger, and naturally used it to charge this scale rather than use the cheap short one that came with the scale and came without a charger? I'm not changing my rating from 1 star because they must know that and should have a sticker on the front of the scale saying to use only their cheap nonstandard cable.I will look up this review when it quits working for good. If it makes it past one year it will be my favorite scale. When I started this odyssey I had hoped for a couple of years. Now I will settle for one.I should note my main use: Aeropress, at least five or six times every day - weighing the Dose and monitoring the Brew Time. Almost any of these type things will work fine for that with a minimal countertop footprint...unless they fail.Update - Uprated: So. I recharged it with their cheap short cable. The charge lasted at least twice as long as the original charge it came with. The next time the charge light came on I watched it and it only took about an hour to charge up.I'm still mad that I threw two other ones away. But I have to uprate this from One Star to 5.I like it.It seems to be easier than the others to keep from going from grams to something else. And I wish the "auto" function would go away but it shows a big AUTO notice on the screen so it's hard to miss if you get it turned on accidentally. I only do americanos with my expresso machine so it wouldn't work with that anyway.Bottom line - this one is better than the others I've bought hands down. I hope I don't have to buy another soon. It's smaller than the largest one, nice glass top, and more readable display. Most of these ads look the same but they are all different in some ways. All of them are repeatable so if you use a dosing cup for instance it weighs the same every time to the 10th g, or minus g if it' removed.I can only attest to Aeropress or Kalita pour overs but it's the best of the four I have tried.

Works great
It’s a nice little scale and my first one for espresso. It seems to be accurate and consistent. The timer is very useful. I liked the design, the glass top, and the white display. The beep is not too loud. I haven’t had to charge it in the two weeks I’ve had it, and it gets used a couple times a day.I use it with a Breville Bambino. It fits nicely on top of the espresso machine when not in use and fits usably on the drip tray with a little overhang from the curved front of the tray. This does not appear to affect the measurement, so that’s good.Down sides: maybe I missed a step, but turning it off seems to clear the option to disable the beep. I use ceramic cups and must have had a chip on one that scratched the glass. Hopefully this won’t develop into any major damage.

Fast and accurate.
Nice little mini scale. Easy to use, has all the features of a more expensive scale for half the price. I had to replace my old scale because it was all over the place without even touching it this scale is accurate and fast.

Great little scale
Great easy to use and accurate scale. Not much else needs to be said. Other than I wish it had auto turn off after a certain time of no weight change or a way to see the charge. I feel like after 3 uses I may have forgotten to turn off the scale and it was out of battery. Glad it has usb c connection for charging but that was unfortunate.
