TIMEMORE · Coffee & Espresso
TIMEMORE Basic 2.0 Espresso Scale with Timer
Weighing the dose is the difference between repeatable espresso and guessing. Fifty-five dollars.
Our rating
4.5 out of 5
Fast enough to keep up with a shot, which most cheap scales are not, and weighing the dose is what makes espresso repeatable rather than lucky. Fifty-five dollars feels steep until the first week of consistent extractions. Ignore the app.
