This scale can do everything you need to prepare an espresso: it measures the weight of your coffee and it has a timer. The weight measures exactly in 0.1 g increments. There are exactly 4 buttons that you can press and to the great delight of all lovers of simple devices, it also says what these buttons are good for. With "On/Off" you can turn the scale on and off, switch between grams and ounces (oz) with "Mode", set the scale to "zero" with "Tara" (after you have placed the empty sieve, for example) and finally start the timer with "Timer". The scale can hold up to 1,000 g, its shelf is made of stainless steel and when you no longer need it, simply fold the transparent lid. And something else can the scale: when you take the cup with espresso off the platform, it automatically stops the timer
