Does the timer start automatically when I begin brewing?

Yes. The timer activates automatically when the scale detects liquid flow, so you don't need to press a button to start timing your shot or pour-over.

Can this scale handle espresso machine drips and steam?

The dial surface is waterproof, the charging port seals when closed, and the included silicone pad provides extra moisture protection. It's designed to withstand the splashes and humidity typical around espresso machines.

How do I switch between grams and ounces?

Touch controls on the scale let you toggle between grams and ounces. The backlit display shows the selected unit clearly.

What is the tare function used for?

The tare button zeroes out the weight of your cup, portafilter, or container, so the scale only measures the coffee or water you add. You can use it multiple times if you're adding ingredients in stages.

How long does the battery last on a full charge?

The rechargeable lithium battery provides up to ten hours of runtime. The scale also shuts off automatically after three minutes of inactivity to conserve power.

What is the flow rate test function?

The flow rate display tracks how quickly water or espresso moves through your coffee grounds in real time, helping you monitor extraction speed and adjust grind or technique for more consistent results.

TIMEMORE Basic 2.0 Electronic Espresso Scale with Timer

Most kitchen scales measure weight. This one also tracks how fast liquid moves through coffee, which matters because extraction speed changes flavor. A shot that pulls in eighteen seconds tastes different from one that takes thirty, even if the output weight is identical. The flow rate display lets you see when resistance changes mid-shot, so you can adjust grind or pressure before the next pull instead of troubleshooting after the fact. That real-time feedback loop is what makes it worth carrying a dedicated espresso scale instead of repurposing a baking scale with a separate timer.

Good gift when

Home baristas who dial in espresso by weight and time

Skip it if The platform may not fit under some commercial espresso machines with low grouphead clearance, and the minimum detection weight of 0.5 grams means very light single doses might not register reliably.

The details

This rechargeable espresso scale measures coffee and water with sensors accurate to a tenth of a gram, pairing weight tracking with a timer that starts automatically when liquid hits the bed. The display shows grams or ounces, elapsed seconds, and flow rate simultaneously, so you can dial in shot timing without stopping to do math.

The acrylic body keeps the profile low enough to slide under most portafilters and drippers without blocking access. Touch controls switch between units and activate the tare function, which zeros out your cup or server weight before you start pouring. A backlit screen stays visible in dim kitchens or under machine groupheads.

Waterproof construction protects the dial surface and charging port from splashes and spills. The charging port cover seals when closed, and a silicone pad sits between the scale and your drip tray to guard against moisture. The rechargeable battery runs for up to ten hours on a full charge and powers down automatically after three minutes of inactivity.

Weighing capacity reaches two kilograms, with a minimum detection threshold of half a gram. The platform is large enough for a carafe or small pour-over setup, and the tare button works repeatedly if you need to add ingredients in stages. A reset button on the underside restores factory defaults if the scale ever locks up or displays incorrectly.
