Cybergiant 13lb Precision Digital Food Scale

Here's the honest truth: while it's advertised as 0.1g precision, several users found the accuracy isn't quite that tight in practice. It's plenty accurate for everyday cooking and meal prep, but if you need true 0.1g precision for espresso dosing or scientific measurements, you might want to look at a higher-end scale. For general kitchen use though, it performs well.

Two standout features: separate power and tare buttons (no more accidentally turning it off when you meant to zero it), and the display stays on longer than most budget scales. That might sound minor, but when you're in the middle of measuring multiple ingredients, it's genuinely helpful not having the screen constantly timing out on you.

You can, and many people do use it for coffee, but keep in mind the accuracy limitations. It works well for pour-over ratios and general coffee measurement, but if you're dialing in espresso shots where a 0.5g difference matters, the precision might not be tight enough. It's better suited for less finicky coffee brewing methods.

It's genuinely useful for cleaning, but there's a small tradeoff: it can make the scale slightly less stable with heavier items. Most users appreciate being able to pop it off and wash it properly, especially after measuring sticky or messy ingredients. Just be aware it might wobble a tiny bit with maximum loads.

Nope, and that's actually one of its nice surprises. One user specifically mentioned it works well even on surfaces that aren't perfectly level, which isn't always the case with digital scales. The stable design seems to compensate well for minor surface irregularities.

Battery life is actually pretty good according to users. One heads up though: a few people received units with old batteries that had leaked, so you might want to check (and possibly replace) the included batteries right away, even if they're working initially.
