The Culturbo Coffee Scale with Timer is designed for home baristas who want to measure coffee dose, espresso yield, and brew time with less guessing.

With 0.1g readability, a built-in timer, espresso and pour-over modes, 2000g capacity, and a rechargeable 1500mAh battery, it supports a more repeatable daily coffee workflow at home.

A Simple Espresso Workflow: Dose, Yield, and Time

  1. Dose: Tare the portafilter or dosing cup, then weigh the dry coffee. An 18g dose is a starting recipe, not a universal target.
  2. Yield: Tare the cup on the scale and track the espresso in the cup. A 1:2 recipe would target about 36g from an 18g dose.
  3. Time: Use the built-in timer while the shot runs, then compare dose, yield, and time before changing one variable.

For a step-by-step method, read How to Measure Espresso Dose and Yield with a Coffee Scale.

Measure Dose, Yield, and Brew Time

  • 0.1g readability: Helps track coffee dose, espresso yield, and brewing ratios.
  • Built-in timer: Useful for tracking espresso extraction and pour-over brewing time.
  • Espresso and pour-over modes: Designed for common home barista routines.
  • 2000g capacity: Suitable for espresso dosing, small brewers, and pour-over servers.
  • USB-C rechargeable: Built-in 1500mAh battery for repeated daily use.
  • Compact footprint: Fits many home coffee bars and espresso drip trays.

Why Use a Coffee Scale?

For espresso, small changes in dose and yield can affect taste. A scale helps you measure your recipe instead of relying only on volume or appearance, making it easier to repeat shots and adjust your next brew.

This scale does not guarantee better coffee by itself. Results still depend on beans, grinder, recipe, water, brew method, and technique.

Important Care Notes

This coffee scale is not waterproof. Do not rinse it directly, place it under running water, or soak any part of the scale. Wipe the ABS weighing surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth, then dry it immediately.

Do not place hot items directly on the scale. For pour-over coffee, use a heat-resistant pad between the server and the scale. For charging, use a standard 5V adapter, preferably 1A-2A. Do not use fast chargers or high-wattage adapters.

Before You Choose a Scale for Espresso

For espresso, the useful question is not only whether a scale can weigh coffee, but whether it fits the way you track dose, yield, and time.

  • Machine clearance: The scale measures 140 × 124 × 22 mm. Check the available space on your drip tray before ordering.
  • Kitchen scale comparison: If you are deciding whether a regular kitchen scale is enough, read Espresso Scale vs Kitchen Scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a coffee scale for espresso?

A coffee scale is useful because it helps measure dose, yield, and shot time, making espresso recipes easier to repeat.

For espresso workflow, this scale is more practical than many kitchen scales because it is compact, reads in 0.1g increments, and includes a timer.

What is the minimum weight this scale can detect?

The scale displays weight in 0.1g increments and has a 0.3g minimum starting weight. It is designed for daily espresso dose, yield, and brew time tracking.

Will this coffee scale fit under my espresso machine?

Can a coffee scale fix bad espresso?

What charger should I use?

Use a standard 5V adapter, preferably 1A-2A. Do not use fast chargers or high-wattage adapters.
