There's a lot to like about this scale, and it leaves a great first impression. Subsequent uses can be more frustrating, but it's still great, and for me, it's a great replacement for bulkier, more-expensive, less-efficient scales. First, it's very small and sleek. It feels light but solid, with a vibrant display and a self-explanatory interface. It seems more than accurate enough for my needs, but that's one spot where its reach seems to exceed its grasp. I've never needed to know, to 1/10 of a gram, what something weighs. I know that there are times when it's good or essential to know, but at this price point, I don't expect it. Still, the scale makes an admirable attempt, and in my testing, it really does seem accurate to .1 or .2 grams. That super-scientific testing was conducted by verifying that the scale was level and tared, then taking a solid object, like a phone or glass, and weighing it about 10 times, letting the scale return to 0 between weighings. That precision degrades a bit when needing to weigh larger things, as it's often hard to make good contact with the surface (technical term), especially when trying to use the lid as a kind of expansion plate. Of course, it's probably not as important to have such a small margin of error with larger objects, but since I'm not a jeweler, chemist, or pharmacist, the larger objects are what I'm weighing most, and it feels kind of precarious. Similarly, while some people might really value the extensive units of weight, I stick to grams and ounces, and having 3 times as many as I need just means more to cycle through. So, if you find yourself needing to weigh things, it will probably do a great job, and it's probably prettier and easier to clean than whatever else you might be considering. Buy it!

My biggest issue with this scale - and I still have some lingering concerns - is that the condition of the control-panel area and the inside of the lid told me very clearly that someone else had owned it before me. And returned it without bothering to clean it properly. From the look - and the smell - of things, the previous owner probably tried to use the scale to measure cold-brew coffee by the mug, with the lid employed to gain enough height on the petite (3" x 2.625") scale surface for balancing an oversized mug. Let me say right now - y'all don't want to be trying that stunt. First, I questioned the scale's accuracy after an unknown length of use plus all the shipping back and forth. I don't have the correct calibration weight (which isn't sold as part of the package), but I was able to test the scale with both a 2-gram and a 20-gram scientific weight, thus bracketing my immediate tea-weighing needs - and found the scale did indeed handle each weight to the promised 0.1 gram. Absent packaging was also briefly problematic - because my scale was a turn-around resale, I can't say how much additional information would have been originally included as inserts or printed on the missing plastic film that was supposed to be covering the weighing surface, but all I got was a sticker on the bottom of the scale, offering an url for "product info and support." Follow that url, and you will be taken directly to an online warranty (which you must click through before you can go any further) and online instructions (which can be printed out but do not seem to come in downloadable pdf or other reader format - and if you don't print them out but then need them again later, you will have to click through the same warranty screen every single time). While I appreciate the company's environmentally-friendly ethic, a few more up-front words of guidance would have been helpful. Finally, the scale's batteries come already inserted, but are supposed to be prevented from activating by a plastic pull-tab that users must remove before trying to turn the unit on. My tab had already been pulled, so I can only hope that it, at least, was clearly labeled, because the only other way new buyers will learn that helpful tip is by following the url past the warranty screen and accessing the online instructions. For me the bigger concerns were how far drained the batteries might already be and whether having the scale sit unused for an unknown length of time with the batteries in place and activated might have caused damage to the connections, but - so far - all seems fine on the battery front. Despite these issues - most of which will not affect anyone who actually gets a never-been-used scale - I would definitely consider buying from this company again. I didn't need a fancy, full-sized and full-featured scale; I was looking for something compact and accurate at weights well below what most cooking scales can measure. And I got it. The scale is dead simple to use, easy to store in my tiny apartment kitchen, and my loose-leaf gourmet tea tastes great.

I don't normally write reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well the scale works for the price. The LED is nice and bright and easy to read, and it seems very accurate and responds quickly when you add something onto the tray. It seems very well built; the build is all plastic except for the metal tray, but the plastic seems very durable and at this price point I think that is to be expected. I also really like the size of it, it is small enough to fit well on the drip tray of my Delonghi Stilosa. That said, while it is fairly low-profile you will want to double check the clearance with your machine if using this for espresso. On mine (the Stilosa), it will NOT fit using the protafilter that comes with the machine as there isn't enough clearance, but using a bottomless portafilter it has just enough room. Not necessarily a bad thing, but just something to double check when buying. Only other thing that would be nice is if it included a timer function, which it doesn't, but you can definitely get by without that. Overall, this is a great little scale for brewing coffee, and for the price you can't beat it!

I can't say much obout the unit because it just came in today. So far though, it seems like a good unit. I like the tray andthat is the reason for my chosing this one. My only concern is this: is it that it is more acurate than others or what. I have an Ozeri food scale and what gold I have says one thing on the Ozeri scale and different on the greater goods. Not by much but enough to cause concern. One chain weighs 29 g on the Ozeri and 28.8 on the greater goods. Which do I go by? No bother though. For my scrap gold I will always go with the greater number anyway. Good scale though.

Most importantly, in my experience this scale is accurate and it holds a steady reading and tare. The button layout is simple, everything works as it should, and the LCD is easy to read. It's a very compact scale. It's thin enough to fit a good size cup under my portafilter. Those things are all that really matter to me, so I give this scale 5 stars. But there are a few size/ergonomic things that I would like to have different if I could... The weighing platform works fine for a single cup, but sometimes I split my double shots into two single cups, which don't fit on the scale together. I can overcome this by using the lid/cover as a dish to extend the weighing platform, but I'd really like a bigger version of this scale (hey Greater Goods, are you listening?! Make a bigger version that's still 0.1g accurate and I'll buy that too!). Also, because of the design of my espresso machine (Breville Barista Pro), the buttons and LCD hang off the right side a little when pulling a shot. I'd like to have them on the left or the front. But those aren't deal breakers. As long as this scale maintains accuracy and holds a steady reading and tare, it will be everything I really need.

I'm a perfectionist and honestly nothing ever pleases me totally but I must say that this scale even though it is smaller can hold a load and it will be dead on the money especially if you're dealing with decimals and grams. I purchased a more expensive larger-scale and it doesn't even come close to how accurate this scale is. Also it is very well made and it has a little heaviness to it and it doesn't feel cheap and I like how the lid doesn't just lay on top it actually snaps in. The tray features very interesting plus the main thing that got me is it does not measured by the feet so even if it's technically not on a flat surface it measures by the actual scale and you can see under the scale so if it ever gets dusty you can blow it out I thought that was very interesting so you it can't really get dirty. Other than that for the price they're not going to be able to find anything better in my opinion I did all the different way test with dimes and stuff and everything came out exactly perfect I did all the corner edges to make sure if the sensor would be accurate if it wasn't just in the center. I mainly use my scale for grams and it is a beast if you're using it for grams and you won't precise measurements and if you're using it for the other measurements I'm sure they will be just as accurate. I give it myself approval.
