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

I’ve been using this scale for my espresso setup and it works really well. It’s compact, responsive, and the 0.1g precision is great for measuring coffee beans and espresso shots. I also really like having the timer built in, so I don’t need to use my phone while making coffee. The size fits nicely under my espresso machine, the display is easy to read, and the glass top is simple to wipe clean. USB-C charging is also a nice bonus. Overall, it feels well made and is very convenient for daily use. Definitely happy with this purchase!

Small scale for my coffee setup. Works seamlessly. I like the timer feature that turns on as soon as it detects the liquid hitting the cup for accurate shot timers. The scale seems to be pretty accurate and the battery lasts quite a while. It’s become part of my daily coffee brewing routine given the simplicity and ease of use.

I've been using it for a month now and it works great, really accurate. The quality is really nice and the design is practical and compact. Fits perfectly in my Breville machine when making my coffee. The display reads well. The buttons are work well and are not so sensitive. The battery hold charge for a long time.

★★★★★ Compact, feature-packed, and reliable I've been really happy with this espresso scale. It's small and compact, so it fits perfectly on my counter and even tucks under my machine's portafilter without any issues, its great for those of us with limited counter space. The automatic timer is a standout feature. It starts and stops on its own, which makes dialing in shots so much easier without fumbling for a separate stopwatch. Battery life has also impressed me. I've used it regularly and haven't had to recharge nearly as often as I expected. Overall, a well-designed, practical scale that's made my espresso routine smoother. Highly recommend!

I have bought several of these from other sellers. The batteries all failed eventually. I really liked this one. With the glass top, the slightly larger body and the higher price I thought this one might be different. I destroyed one of the other ones to see if I could see the battery, and failed. The battery indicator started flashing on this one after two weeks. I charged it overnight and and it was still flashing. I charged it for another night - I read somewhere to not use a "fast charger" but no definition of how fast. So I used an old Apple original cube because I don't they get any slower than that. Eventually I used it with light flashing for two more weeks before it quit altogether. So I searched most of the other similar ones here - (and there a lot of them) to try again. All of them had reviews mentioning early battery failure. The 4 star ratings appeared to come from people that wrote them after a few uses. I was about to give up and use a huge kitchen scale. But in one of the reviews a guy writes that these don't work with "standard USB C cables". ???? USB C IS A STANDARD!! Anything else is not USBC. Just on a whim, because I had run out of options, I looked around and found a cable that came with one the scales I had bought. I charged it overnight as before. Next morning it came on and the light was not flashing. How many people on this planet have iPhones or something else with a USB C cable and it's already plugged into a charger, and naturally used it to charge this scale rather than use the cheap short one that came with the scale and came without a charger? I'm not changing my rating from 1 star because they must know that and should have a sticker on the front of the scale saying to use only their cheap nonstandard cable. I will look up this review when it quits working for good. If it makes it past one year it will be my favorite scale. When I started this odyssey I had hoped for a couple of years. Now I will settle for one. I should note my main use: Aeropress, at least five or six times every day - weighing the Dose and monitoring the Brew Time. Almost any of these type things will work fine for that with a minimal countertop footprint...unless they fail. Update - Uprated: So. I recharged it with their cheap short cable. The charge lasted at least twice as long as the original charge it came with. The next time the charge light came on I watched it and it only took about an hour to charge up. I'm still mad that I threw two other ones away. But I have to uprate this from One Star to 5. I like it. It seems to be easier than the others to keep from going from grams to something else. And I wish the "auto" function would go away but it shows a big AUTO notice on the screen so it's hard to miss if you get it turned on accidentally. I only do americanos with my expresso machine so it wouldn't work with that anyway. Bottom line - this one is better than the others I've bought hands down. I hope I don't have to buy another soon. It's smaller than the largest one, nice glass top, and more readable display. Most of these ads look the same but they are all different in some ways. All of them are repeatable so if you use a dosing cup for instance it weighs the same every time to the 10th g, or minus g if it' removed. I can only attest to Aeropress or Kalita pour overs but it's the best of the four I have tried.

Pros- lightweight, small, very accurate, easy to clean, timer included. Cons- I use this to brew espresso on my Breville Touch and to get an accurate reading, you have to place something flat (structured) under the scale. Otherwise the reading just jumps all over the place. I know lot of espresso machines have the same base, so this might be an issue for some! This is my reason for 4/5 stars. It’s an easy fix, it’s just kind of annoying. Value for the price seems to be on point. It’s easy to clean. It has a timer as well as scale (nice for espresso). Buttons work the first time you push them. That’s it that’s all

I absolutely love this scale. As someone who cares about both function and aesthetics, this was exactly what I was looking for. It’s refreshing to find a high-quality kitchen tool that doesn’t force you to sacrifice the look of your space. The white and gold design is stunning and fits perfectly on my coffee bar without looking bulky or industrial. Functionally, it works flawlessly. I primarily use it to measure my coffee beans, but I’ve also used it for other items, and it’s consistently accurate and easy to use. The size is perfect — compact enough to keep out on the counter without taking up space, yet large enough to be practical and stable. The display is clear, the buttons are responsive, and the overall build feels solid and well made. I also appreciate how intuitive it is to use — no learning curve at all. If you’re someone who loves a beautiful, cohesive kitchen setup but still wants reliable, quality tools, I would highly recommend this scale. It’s small, stunning, and performs exactly as it should.

- I bought this scale for my espresso machine because of its small size and rechargeable battery. I also like the LED display. - It has a nice, heavy build quality with rubber feet. - When the battery is not fully charged, the accuracy can be inconsistent. When it’s fully charged, the weight sometimes increases right as the espresso machine starts. I then have to quickly press the tare button. I also have no practical way to verify the scale's accuracy because of the calibration weights required. - One feature I dislike is the auto-timer. When it is turned on, the scale cannot be used to measure coffee beans normally. After a few beans are dropped onto the scale, it stops measuring. I have to turn the auto-timer off and then back on to use the scale for espresso. Because of this, I now use a different scale for measuring beans. - Another issue is that the auto-timer takes too long to start after the espresso begins hitting the cup. By the time it starts, some of the extraction has already occurred. - I also asked the seller what calibration weights are required. I was told it requires a 1 kg weight. For a small, less expensive coffee scale, I think requiring such heavy calibration weights is impractical. If the scale could be calibrated using lower weights, such as 200 g and 500 g, a basic calibration weight set would be sufficient. Because of the required weights, I am unable to calibrate the scale and have to use it as it is.

Perfect size for the Sage Bambino. Very good build quality and good precision, I am totally satisfied with this balance.

I've had a few different ones and this scale operates flawlessly. It properly detects the start of espresso flow (a few drops) from my vibratory pump equipped Gaggia. The buttons are snappy and sure. I really have no complaints. I've seen many reviews of other scales complaining about drifting weight readouts. Store electronic scales flat. Not on their sides.

Parfait

Cumple su función. Es pequeño, con lo que cabe bajo el portafiltro, pero es alto, con lo que algunas tazas pueden estar un poco apretadas. El cronómetro automático está muy bien, se activa cuando cae la primera gota y se para cuando cae la última; dicho esto, sería estupendo si hubiese un modo en el que se pudiera activar el cronómetro manualmente para el comienzo (cuando le doy al botón de la máquina espresso) y se detuviera automáticamente con la última gota. Por lo demás, parece que funciona como es de esperar, parece estar construida con materiales de buena calidad, y es fácil de utilizar. Una buena adición para mis exploraciones cafeínicas.

Bilancino preciso ed elegante. Io lo utilizzo in realtà come bilancia per pesare gli alimenti. E' più preciso delle comuni bilance da cucina.
