Pros and cons

Pros

  • Small stated footprint may fit on limited benches or under some portafilters. Customer feedback also mentions a compact fit under one Bambino machine.
  • Espresso and flow-rate modes provide brewing information beyond basic weighing, alongside manual and automatic modes.
  • USB-C charging and a built-in lithium battery avoid routine disposable battery replacement, according to the listing.

Cons

  • The 2 kg maximum capacity is lower than many general-purpose kitchen scales, limiting use with heavier items.
  • Customer feedback includes mixed accuracy reports and mentions charging failures after several months, so dependable long-term readings and charging are not assured by the available evidence.

What to know before buying

  • The claimed battery runtime is up to 90 days, but no usage pattern or mode conditions are specified. Treat it as a manufacturer estimate rather than a guaranteed interval.

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are not fully consistent: the title states 2kg/0.1g while the detailed specifications separately list 2000 Grams capacity and 0.1 Grams accuracy and graduation interval. The claimed 0.3g minimum measurement range, tempered-glass and ABS construction, and waterproof properties appear only in feature text, while the details list Glass, Plastic. Confirm the exact operating range and construction claims if they matter to your purchase.

Who is it for?

Customer feedback is broadly positive about quality, functionality, ease of use, compact size and fit, including a report of fitting under one Bambino machine. Accuracy and battery experience are mixed: some describe accurate readings, while another reports inconsistency, and some mention charging failure after several months. That matters for espresso dosing, where repeatable readings are useful, and for a rechargeable scale expected to remain convenient over time. The listing's 0.1 g increment and USB-C charging are product claims, not confirmation that every unit performs reliably.

Positive themes

  • Customers describe the scale as functional and easy to use, and praise its compact size and fit.

Mixed feedback

  • Accuracy feedback is mixed, including a report of inconsistent readings.
  • Battery feedback is mixed, with reports of charging ability failing after several months.
