1 / 7Generic KFC-4-18 Espresso Dosing Scale, 0.1 g
The Generic KFC-4-18 is a digital coffee dosing cup with an LED display, marketed for weighing beans and grounds for espresso. Its integrated cup-and-scale format is intended to combine dosing and weighing, though the listing gives inconsistent capacity figures that buyers should check before relying on a particular range.
At a glance
- Integrated dosing cup and digital scale are described as allowing beans to be ground, weighed and poured into a portafilter in one workflow.
- An LED display is listed, and the feature text says it remains hidden until activated.
- The listing claims a rechargeable built-in battery, low-battery alert and alerts for uneven placement or excess weight.
- The feature text claims IPX6 water resistance and describes rinsing under running water. Treat this as a manufacturer claim, not a verified result.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Combines a dosing vessel and scale, which may reduce transfers between separate tools.
- The listed 0.1-gram readout accuracy is suited to buyers seeking fine dose measurement.
- Rechargeable operation is claimed, avoiding disposable batteries if the described battery is supplied and functioning as stated.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing is inconsistent about capacity: the specifications state a maximum of 500 Grams, while feature text claims a 0.2–509g (0.02–17.9oz) range. Its 0.1-gram accuracy, rechargeable battery, IPX6 rating and Tritan construction are feature-text claims, while the details separately list Plastic and Lithium Ion. Confirm the capacity and construction details before purchase.
