IKAPE Espresso Coffee Scale with Timer — 2kg / 0.1g Precision Scale
Product description
Four functional modes tailored to coffee making — Basic Weighing, Pour-Over Weighing (auto-tare for water), Pour-Over Brew Ratio (automatic ratio calculation), and Espresso Mode (combined timing and weight). Flip between modes to handle dosing, timed pours, and ratio-driven brews without extra gadgets.
High-resolution sensors provide 0.1g accuracy in the 0.3g–1kg range (ideal for weighing coffee grounds) and switch to 1g increments from 1kg to 2kg for larger volumes. The unit supports weights up to 2,000 g, so it covers everything from tiny doses to full-batch water measurements.
The top surface is a scratch-resistant, easy-to-clean glass-like plastic platform, and the scale ships with a removable non-slip silicone mat that protects the surface and helps prevent cups from sliding. The compact footprint (approximately 3.96" × 4.14" × 0.73") keeps it unobtrusive on a counter or in a travel kit.
Designed for convenience: a clear LED display for quick reading, an automatic timer that starts in pour-over and espresso modes, and an auto-off feature to save battery. The charging port has a silicone cover to keep dust and moisture out, and the scale supports charging via a 5V/1A–2A adapter for extended runtime. Quiet operation and tactile controls make it straightforward to use while brewing.
Pros
- Very accurate 0.1g resolution up to 1kg
- Four brew-focused modes including auto-timer
- Compact, protected surface with removable silicone mat
Cons
- Side power slider is small and fiddly
- On sensitive surfaces it can register small movements
- Manual lacks clear, thorough instructions
VerdictA well-rounded, budget-friendly coffee scale that delivers fine-grain accuracy and practical brew features. The 0.1g precision up to 1kg, 2kg capacity, and four brewing modes make it useful for both espresso dialing and pour-over routines. Solid build, clear display, and a handy silicone cover for stability and protection — a smart pick for home baristas who want reliable performance without extra

Sleek look and effective
The scale is sensitive so small movements can make the readings jump, but it does the job. Helps me dial in shots and looks good beside my machine. Still going strong after a few months without needing a charge.

Timer is very useful
Accurate and good battery life. I like the removable rubber cover. Timer can be started manually or set to begin automatically when it senses liquid flow — very handy.

Small footprint and precise, but power switch is tiny
Fits neatly under my espresso rig and measures consistently. The timer is very useful for dialing in shots. My one gripe is the tiny slide power switch — awkward to use if you have larger fingers. Otherwise a dependable little scale I’d recommend.

Reliable daily performer
This is my fourth espresso scale and after three weeks of daily use it performs well. The touch response and sensing are quick, and the screen protector stays put. It’s about one gram off compared to my other gear, but that’s acceptable for my routine.

A daily essential
I’ve been using this model for a while and it’s made my brewing more consistent. The display is clear, auto-tare works well, and it stays steady while pouring. Simple and reliable.

Excellent ratio and flow features for the money
This scale stands out for its ratio and flow functions — great value. It feels solid with a scratch-resistant top and included silicone cover. Compared to pricier models I’ve used (Felicita Arc, Acaia, Fellow), it delivers premium-feeling build at a fraction of the cost. The three-position power slider (off, silent, audible) is handy.

Great feature set, works for more than just espresso
I like that it auto-powers when weight is placed on it and has several modes beyond espresso. Charges quickly and the display is easy to read. The silicone mat wraps on three sides to keep things steady. Documentation could be clearer, but overall a high-quality device.

Feature-packed and well-designed
Four smart modes, bright LED, and a useful auto-timer for pour-over and espresso. The platform is durable, the base non-slip, and battery life is impressive. A solid tool for brewers of all levels.
