I had a much less expensive scale that worked fine for me, but gave it to my sister to help her on her expanded coffee journey and purchased the Fellow scale only because I love quality. I don't need any of the features except weight in grams, but love the beauty and overall quality of the product. Plus it matches my Fellow Ode 2 grinder and will match my pre-ordered Aiden brewer (which I wish I could receive sooner than September).
Excellent for pour overs and general use kitchen scale

As someone who has been on that kitchen scale game for years with a much less expensive rechargeable body, I was hoping to get something much more convenient for making pour overs and other high precision kitchen tasks. I would say this scale performs excellently.
There are 2 key things that really justify the product for me: automatic ratios and timing. Makes playing around and dialing in those variables fun instead of annoying like using my other scale with my phone as a calculator/timer.
One other thing I’ll note to help any prospective buyers is how I incorporate this into my workflow which took some getting used to…
1) Start boiling kettle of water 2) Measure beans on scale with ratio set 3) Grind beans - while water still boils 4) Place French press or Pour over carafe/filter on scale and tare the scale 5) Add funnel and add the ground beans 6) Remove funnel and check weight of beans /water seems right 7) Begin pouring in the water according to recipe
Awesome scale with near instant reading and accuracy. Great addition to my coffee station! The brew assistant is very helpful for making perfect pour overs as well!
This is a great looking scale that you won’t mind leaving out on the counter. The brew assist feature is a great function to have once you figure out the how best to incorporate it. Another major plus is being able to change units to use the scale for other weighing needs. The only downside is the cost.
Works great and very helpful for pour over, french press, etc. Sometimes computer gets frozen when trying to tare, but turning off and turning back on seems to correct it.
