Greater Goods Digital Coffee Scale with Timer

It measures to 0.1g precision, which is more than enough for pour-over brewing. Reviewers consistently mention the accuracy is excellent for dialing in coffee ratios. The scale responds quickly as you pour, though a few users note you may need to pour slightly ahead since there's a minor refresh lag. One thing to watch: keep electronics and metal objects away from the scale, as several reviewers found these can cause weight fluctuations.

They're actual physical buttons, which reviewers love. About a dozen people specifically praised this feature—no finicky touch controls that don't register or accidentally activate. The buttons are positioned on the front edge where they won't get bumped during use, and they're responsive without being too sensitive.

Yes, the LED display is bright and uses two-tone colors (white and orange) that make it easy to read even with a brewing device on top. Fifteen reviewers called out the display as exceptionally clear and visible. The compact design keeps the readout visible even when you're using larger brewers like a 10-cup Chemex.

It has a built-in timer that can count up or down, which is perfect for tracking brew time. Fourteen reviewers appreciated having timer and scale in one device. A couple users mentioned the timer controls take a moment to figure out when switching between modes, but once you get the hang of it, it integrates well into your brewing routine.

The scale comes with a removable silicone cover that protects against spills and makes cleanup easier—eleven reviewers mentioned this as a plus. However, the silicone itself can be tricky to clean thoroughly, and some users noted it shows stains over time. The waterproof design means you don't have to panic if you spill during a pour, which is reassuring.

Battery life is generally good—several reviewers report it lasts a long time between changes. The downside is there's no low battery indicator, so six people mentioned the scale can die unexpectedly while brewing. It's worth keeping spare batteries on hand and swapping them out proactively if you use the scale daily.
