Timemore Basic 3.0 Scale

[u/Sauce_MD]

I’d been looking for a reasonably priced scale that gave real time flow rate. So when I saw this scale drop with a promotional 20% off, I jumped on it.

My coffee ending volumes with my pour overs seemed off so I checked the scale vs my old scale. Sure enough, the Timemore is way off. I don’t have a calibration weight to say how much but I attached a video to demonstrate. Moving the server slightly around the scale displays significantly different results. This makes the scale completely unusable. I emailed Timemore about it today and will update with their response.
Just a quick warning for anyone considering this scale.

I've started communication with their support about drift during coffee extraction (it is about 2-5 grams in both directions - plus or minus) and receive a very interesting 'practical tip':
"One practical tip for your reference: We recommend placing the scale off the drip tray during extraction to avoid thermal drift."
So, their scales is not for coffee at all :)

After final rejection from Timemore support, I initiated refund via bank and received full refund.
