Maestri House Espresso Scale with Timer

Verdict
0.1g rechargeable shot scale that fits under a portafilter

A slim 0.1g espresso scale with timer is non-negotiable once you dial ratios. Maestri’s USB-C rechargeable models sit under the cup, auto-time shots, and cost less than café boutique scales — perfect between TIMEMORE Basic and Acaia Pearl.
