I’m not an expert brewer nor a seasoned coffee connoisseur, so don’t take my review too seriously. With that being said, I began my coffee journey about a year or so ago. Fellow products has been a companion since the beginning and I never felt disappointed in any of them. From the grinder to the kettles. I think over the time and with practice, I was able to get to a good brewing routine, but two things remained challenging; coffee to water ration, and timing. I used to weight my coffee then somewhat guess and visually assess how much water is needed while also trying to keep an eye on a timer. I think this scale has made it easier for me to weight my coffee, calculate the ratio, and time my brewing all at the same time and using the seem device. I’d say my morning cup of coffee went from being good to great since I started using this scale. I’d recommend it to anyone exploring ways to better their brewing methods and experience.
Excellent for pour overs and general use kitchen scale

Verified Purchase:Yes
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
I would recommend this to a friend!

fantastic but could use a countdown timer
on July 6, 2024
Posted by: Grant
If you're like me, and don't want to mux around with math when making that first cup in the morning (or at all), then this scale is fantastic; as it takes all the arithmetic out of assessing your water to coffee ratios. The only disappointment I have is with the timer. It's fine, but I wish it had a countdown feature, that concluded in a subtle beep, for when I swap out the V60 for my full-immersion Clever. It just really annoys me to pull out yet another timer to do this. Otherwise, it's a small criticism for an otherwise fantastic device.

Looks better than it feels and has a learning curve.

It looks really nice, but the controls are unintuitive and the the knob feels cheap.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not Just for Making Good Coffee!
on February 10, 2025
Posted by: David
As someone who has never used a coffee scale before, the Tally is easy to work with and master. The Brew Assist is probably the coolest feature as it has improved my AeroPress experience, but the timer and precise weight functions are equally handy for non-brewing tasks. My only issue is the piano black gloss on the base of the scale that seems to scratch easily and is a terrible fingerprint magnet. Here’s hoping Fellow decides to release a matte black edition similar to the rest of their products.

I love this new Tally coffee scale. It just feels amazing to use. It is very well built and has a nice smooth finish. It is extremely responsive and accurate. I was trying to decide whether or not to purchase it,but now I'm glad I did. It just feels right to use it. I can't wait to see what Fellow comes out with next!

Since ordering the Tally Pro

Since ordering the Tally Pro Precision scale and promptly receiving it, it has been used an average of four days a week. It is the most accurate and efficient scale for brewing the best cup of coffee each time.
