It does not seem to be available in the U.K. at time of writing.
Despite looking basic, theres absolutely nothing wrong with this scales functionality.
It times well, and although it doesnt have an auto-timer, this is not an essential feature.
The touch buttons are responsive, with no lag whatsoever.
However, I love to be proved wrong, and the KitchenTour scale was no different.
As touched on above, the controls respond instantly.
I found this mat is great at both prevent heat spillage and also increasing grip on the brewer.
The KitchenTour has no waterproofing, so be careful if not using the silicone mat.
Using it with an espresso machine is also easy, as I touched on above.
You simply place the scale on top of the drip tray and put your desired mug on top.
Its a larger scale, but still fits and balances itself for use with an espresso machine.
I was able to measure the volume of espresso poured and time to work out flow rate.
Thankfully, these batteries are really easy to find in stores.
The scale doesnt have an IP rating, unlike the Subminimal Subscale ($49) which is IPX4.
This means you cant get the scale wet.
