Dosing your coffee by weight is one of the most effective ways to produce a consistent brewing experience. You could measure with a scoop, but how can you tell if the coffee was rounded or flat? Was the coffee packed loosely or tightly? It is difficult to really tell. When you find the perfect cup, the Soehnle Scale will get you closer to the desired profile each and every time. The scale has a brushed matte silver finish and will certainly make a statement next to your brewer and grinder. The scale utilizes a touch screen operation, and the gram to ounce conversion is conveniently located on the top of the unit. It also features a smooth tempered glass surface, small flat design for easy storage, capacity up to 9 pounds, and 0.05 ounce increments.
