Maestri House S2 Espresso Coffee Scale with Timer 0.1g Precision Shot Scale

The Maestri House Rechargeable Mini Coffee Scale with Timer strikes an excellent balance between affordability and performance, making it a strong choice for anyone starting out in espresso. From the outset, it feels well made for the price point—compact, cleanly designed, and solid enough to inspire confidence without being bulky on the countertop or under a portafilter. The size is particularly well judged for espresso use, fitting comfortably on a drip tray without getting in the way. In terms of performance, it delivers exactly what a beginner needs. The 0.1g precision is more than sufficient for dialing in shots, and the responsiveness is quick enough to track yield in real time without lag. The built-in timer is simple but effective, allowing you to focus on shot consistency without juggling multiple tools. The rechargeable battery is a practical upgrade over disposable options, removing the hassle of replacements and making it more convenient for daily use. Charging is straightforward, and battery life is solid for typical home espresso routines. Where this scale stands out is its usability. It avoids unnecessary complexity and instead focuses on doing the basics reliably—accurate measurements, clear display, and intuitive controls. For someone learning espresso, that simplicity is an advantage rather than a limitation. Overall, this is a well-judged, dependable scale that offers strong value for money. It provides the key features needed to improve consistency and technique without overcomplicating the process, making it an ideal entry point into more precise espresso preparation.

Bought as a replacement for my first scale which was quite cheap, two years old and was or had become inaccurate. Difficult to know whether reviews are accurate and how long these things last, but after a week or so it seems very well made and good value. It feels good and much heavier than my first. The sides are metal and top surface glass, like an iPhone. There’s a nice silicone pad which sits on top and easily wipes clean. Buttons very positive, unlike its predecessor and there’s a rubber plug to waterproof the charging port. Appears to be an excellent choice at around £30. I use it with a good set up of DF64 grinder and Profitech P400 espresso machine. Works well.

Perfect for measuring coffee, accurate and available in styles to fit coffee machine.

Great size, fits above the display to weigh and time the shot at the same time. The battery lasted 2 weeks already and still doesn't need charging, too soon to say how long it will go before recharging. The display isn't the brightest in direct light but does not impact it's use. Its really easy to use and the power switch on the side is a nice touch. Feels premium quality and overall great value for money with all the basic espresso features compared to other scales on the market. Happy purchase.

I saw a video of someone using these with AeroPress coffee maker. That's why I purchased this. But it lacks a very key thing. A countdown timer. It counts up like a stopwatch just fine. But that means you still have to look at it all the time just to see if things are 'ready' or not. Which to me defeats the entire point. I may as well just a standard kitchen timer. Or, like I usually do - just wing it. So rather disappointed. But looking at other similar products on Amazon, I didn't fine any that explicitly stated they had a countdown timer. So I kept this one. After all; it's never bad to have a great looking tech item in the kitchen. And who knows; maybe at some point I'll need to measure something to 0.1 gram precision?

Bought this scale to upgrade over a regular food scale, and it was a game charger. It's very accurate and has great build quality. The battery needs to be charged once every two weeks when making two cups per day. Its screen is bright but struggles a little when there is a lot of light in the room, so keep that in mind for your specific use case. I have only used it for pour over coffee so I can't comment on its performance regarding the automatic timer for espresso that others have mentioned. Generally very happy with this scale and highly recommend for simple pour over coffee.

I can’t compare this to any other coffee scales but it is easy to use and perfect size in use and storage. It is robust and well made, perfect for weighing dry powder and hot liquids. So far, well deserving of 5 stars.

I purchased these coffee scales hoping for a reliable tool to enhance my brewing routine. While the scales perform well in terms of measuring weight accurately, the built-in timer leaves much to be desired. The timer has an annoying delay of a few seconds, which makes it unreliable for timing pour-overs or other precision-based brewing methods. This flaw defeats one of the main reasons I chose this product, and unfortunately, it makes the scales unsuitable for my needs. If you only need accurate weight measurements, these scales do the job. However, if you’re looking for an all-in-one device to time your brewing process, I’d suggest looking elsewhere. I wouldn’t recommend this product for coffee enthusiasts who value precision in every aspect of their brew. Update, customer services contacted me and said the delay is part of the design of the scales, this is not mentioned anywhere so be aware. It has also developed a fault where the display flickers on and off intermittently.

Vorbei die Zeiten, wo der Kaffee subjektiv schmeckt oder auch nicht. Vorbei die Sorge, dass der Mahlgrade an der Mühle falsch eingestellt ist. Vorbei die Frage, ob man zu wenig oder zu viel Pulver im Siebträger hat. Diese Waage misst präzise den richtigen Espressobezug. Beim Bezug schaltet sich automatisch der Timer ein, sobald Kaffee in die Tasse läuft. Es wird also exakt gemessen, wie viel Gramm Espresso in welcher Zeit in deine Tasse fließen. Normalerweise möchtest du innerhalb von 25 Sekunden genau so viel Espresso in deiner Tasse, wie es dem doppelten Gewicht des Mahlguts im Siebträger entspricht. Also zum Beispiel in einem 18 g Sieb möchtest du 36 g = 36 ml Espresso innerhalb von genau 25 Sekunden in deiner Tasse haben. Oder bei einem 13 g Sieb möchtest du 26 ml = 26 g in deiner Tasse haben, ebenfalls innerhalb von 25 Sekunden. Mit dieser kleinen und vor schönen Waage schaffst du das nun spielend. Du kannst die Waage hervorragend benutzen, um deine Kaffeemühle entsprechend einzustellen. Der Mahlgrad der Mühle ändert sich im Prinzip bei jedem Wetterwechsel. Mit dieser Waage ist das kein Problem mehr. Einfach ein oder zwei Probebezüge und anschließend ist alles richtig eingestellt. Die Waage ist formschön, klein, robust, sehr genau und lässt sich mit USB alle Woche wieder bequem aufladen. Eine hervorragende Anschaffung!

Works great. Would recommend

Solid build (heavy). Does the job. Small, perhaps not for big bowls.

سهل الاستخدام انصح بشرائه
