Subminimal Subscale Digital Dosing Cup with LED Display – Sleek & Precise Scale - Dosing & Brewing Accessories, Measures Coffee Grounds for Espresso - Black

I have kitchen scales, so I certainly didn’t need the Subscale. But what a pleasure it is to use! It turns out that simplifying tasks before I’ve had my morning coffee is a very good thing. Perfectly sized and pleasantly smooth to the touch; easy to read; and a battery charge lasts for weeks.

This is a fantastic product. I've been using a very expensive scale that is extremely accurate. I verified five different measurements, and this cup works great. It streamlines my workflow; it's so compact and effective. I think it's extremely easy to use, and I don't understand the sensitivity concerns. Overall, I give this product five stars. My only wish: double the price and make a metal version. I'd be all over that one too. I absolutely would buy again, and I have three coffee grinders. My Z1 is easy to feed with this cup; it works perfectly.

Did I need this ? No. Doesn’t make me smile like a kid with a new toy every time I use it ? Yes. Like every gadget from Subminimal, it’s well made, over engineered, sleek looking, and functional. It’s absolutely unnecessary but boy, is it a joy to use. This is probably how they measure beans aboard the ISS, cause it’s probably anti-gravity. By the way. I was today years old when I realized it’s Sub-MINIMAL and not SuBLIMINAL…

Great little scale, fun and surprisingly useful. I’ve had some time to use this scale and wanted to give an honest take. This is one of those tools you do not really need, but once you have it, it is actually very fun to use. I’ve been enjoying it a lot. I would not use this for espresso or hot drinks directly since it is plastic, but for general weighing and dosing it works really well. Pros Very fun to use Lightweight and easy to use Very readable display Battery lasts a long time Holds calibration really well once set Cons I did have to buy calibration weights separately to dial it in properly, which adds a little extra cost The scale does not really start registering until around 0.5 to 1 gram. If you are doing very small adjustments under about 0.5g, you will still need a more sensitive scale for that Once it does start reading though, it becomes very sensitive and accurate in 0.1 gram increments, especially when using the dosing cup. Once calibrated, it also holds that calibration really well. I’m probably around 100 doses in and it is still staying consistent. Overall I would recommend it as a secondary scale. It is simple, reliable, and fun to use, just not the right tool for those very small adjustments. If I could rate it 4.5 stars I would.

Great products. Works fantastic. Everyday use!

I debated whether to buy the Subminamal dosing/scale cup since it was 2-3 times the cost of a simple scale. But, its coolness factor won me over. It's super easy to use and seems pretty accurate. And it looks awesome on my coffee bar. I like that you just have to brush your finger across the switch to turn it on.

Good scale for single dose coffee grinder makes for easy work

I’m a pourover/Aeropress guy, so I already had a decent brewing scale from Timemore. But I was tired of shuffling the output cup from my grinder onto the scale, weighing out the beans, dumping them into the grinder, then putting the output cup back under the spout of the grinder. Occasionally I would even screw up the process when I wasn’t paying close enough attention, with hilarious results. So I thought a dedicated scale for beans in the form of a cup sounded perfect. And I was right! This cup is obviously a cool idea, but the world is full of poorly executed cool ideas. But this gadget is very well executed. It’s got a nice, sleek look to it, and the angled back melds form and function as a pouring spout. I do wish the button on the front stood out a bit more; as it is, it doesn’t detract from the cup’s smooth lines, but it’s also easy to miss in dim lighting. The digits on the back are big enough for me to read without my glasses, and they’re at a tasteful brightness level. The scale powers on fast. And the readout updates fast, with zero rebound effect, which I can’t say about my bigger brewing scale. I haven’t gone through a calibration yet, so I’m not sure how accurate it is, but if it’s off, it’s not off by enough to make any detectable difference in the coffee I’m brewing. If you have a scale already, you don’t need this. But I think you’ll be impressed by the elegance it will bring your brewing routine.

Brilliant for the price does best what it supposed to do

Super praktische Wage um den Kaffee in der Früh abzuwiegen. der Artikel macht einen sehr wertigen Eindruck, sieht gut aus und funktioniert ohne Probleme und lässt sich über USB-Laden, also kein Batterie wechseln. Eine klare Kaufempfehlung von mir.

Ótimo produto, muito bonito e de qualidade! Recomendo muito a compra

Balance très précise et affichage exceptionnel

A well made and accurate scale that simplifies my coffee brewing by weighing the beans, I then use a separate scale to check retention from the grinder and then move the second scale to measure output from the portafilter, all steps were previously done with one set of scales, now it is much easier. A nice addition to my coffee kit, certainly not essential but nice to have.
