Know before you buy

Yes, the scale provides auditory alerts every 10 seconds for time and every 20g for weight. You can easily adjust the volume of these notifications to suit your environment.
The scale uses a modern USB-Type C charging interface, making it compatible with most standard cables you likely already have for your other electronics.
These presets allow you to save specific timing intervals for different brewing methods or bloom phases. You can quickly toggle between them, which is helpful if you frequently switch between different coffee recipes.
The platform is made of stainless steel, which is durable and easy to wipe down. While it is designed for a coffee environment, it is not fully waterproof, so you should avoid submerging it or allowing liquid to enter the internal components.
The Secret Music Mode is a playful, hidden feature that allows the scale to play one of over 30 different ringtones. It is a fun, non-essential addition that showcases the scale's unique interface capabilities.
