Toggleable Auto-off feature with physical on/off switch, 3 minutes in normal mode, 15 minutes in timer mode. The scale is operated with the help of buttons, so it’s easy to figure out, while the built-in 780-mAh lithium battery guarantees continuous use of no less than 15 hours. For even more convenience, there’s a standby mode and an automatic shutdown function initiated after 3 minutes of inactivity. Reinforced internals with an aluminium skeleton elevates the build quality yet still unmatched for value in this space. Sporting an included silicone mat makes it easier to clean between brewing. Or stow it away and keep the simple design. The acrylic used on the weighing surface is textured for easy cleaning anyway. No sore sights of glossy plastic, just waiting to be scratched at the faintest touch. Not here. Usability - 4.5/5

SLEEK YET CLEAR DESIGN: With few embellishments, the coffee weight scale boasts a clean and modern design made with high quality acrylic, including an tilted LED display that's hidden from sight until the scale is in use. Plus physical buttons for timer, power, tare and flow rate function are located on both sides of the scale for easier operation. Reinforced internals with an aluminium skeleton elevates the build quality yet still unmatched for value in this space. Product Features The buttons are slightly sensitive, but they won't be accidentally pressed - there are only two buttons on each corner. Each press gives a satisfying audible beep, which importantly is mutable should you require a quiet experience. Closing remarks and recommendation It depends on your brew method, if you have a percolator or French press then your only concern is the grind weight (dose) and volume of brewing water; these methods don't require such accuracy. Your end brew is much more affected by your handling of the brewing process rather than precise ratios and timing. Precision is not as important as when you pull a shot of espresso or brew a drip V60, and if the latter are your methods of choice, then precision scales are, I would say, a requirement because your end product is largely affected by precise timing and ratios.
