Although its auto-timing feature is unreliable, the Maestri House Coffee Scale is mostly a success.
If youre into coffee, youll want to know youre using some of the best coffee scales around.
I also like my coffee accessories to be as aesthetically pleasing as my mugs.
At under $40, its not the priciest coffee scale Ive seen, either.
So whats the full story?
Find out in this Maestri House Coffee Scale review.
verify you use the included silicone mat to protect the scale from overheating though.
This is great in theory, but in practice, I found it stopped halfway through brewing randomly sometimes.
More on that in the Performance section, though.
page claims the scale to be waterproof, this contradicts advice written in the user manual.
I would not recommend getting this scale wet.
The first thing I did was test it out with myV60 Dripperand it worked like a charm.
Then I slowly poured in 300g/10oz of 85C/185F water.
As I mentioned earlier, I had an issue with the auto-timer.
The only time it measured a different weight was by 0.1g.
It never had a gross outlier measurement, which means I would trust it to measure my coffee accurately.
This scale also has the longest standby time of any coffee scale Ive ever reviewed a huge 5 minutes.
This would be great for cumulative weighing, or baking.
I have a reasonably small kitchen with only one storage cupboard and it slots away nicely underneath other clutter.
Its rechargeable with a provided USB-C cable and Maestri House recommends that you charge it once every 90 days.
Maestri House Mini Coffee Scale review: How does it compare?
The Subminimal Subscales max weight was just 99.9g, restricting it to just coffee usage.
Even if you have an espresso machine, this scale would work well.
The build quality is fantastic, too, with high-quality plastic exterior and easy-to-use controls.
Although its not waterproof, if youre careful while using, this shouldnt be a major issue.
This is my favorite coffee scale for the price, aesthetics, and functions.
