Greater Goods Coffee Scale with Timer 0.1g (Birch White) Review (2026)

What this scale is

This is a digital kitchen scale built specifically for coffee brewing, combining a precision weighing platform with a built-in timer in one unit, finished in a light Birch White color. Greater Goods positions it for pour over, espresso and matcha use, where weighing both the dry dose and the water or milk added during brewing matters for repeatable results. The scale reads to 0.1 gram accuracy with a 3000 gram, or 3 kilogram, total capacity, and can detect changes as small as 0.3 grams, giving enough range to weigh a single espresso shot or a full pour over brew on the same device.

Precision and measurement units

Beyond raw accuracy, the scale supports six different measurement units, including grams, ounces, pounds, milliliters, fluid ounces and kilograms, which is useful since coffee recipes are written in a mix of these depending on the source. That flexibility means the same scale can double for general kitchen weighing tasks beyond coffee, without needing to convert units by hand. The 0.1 gram resolution is fine enough to dial in gram-for-gram brew ratios, a level of precision that matters more for espresso dosing than for a casual pour over where a gram or two of variance is less noticeable.

Timer and display

A built-in count-up or count-down timer runs alongside the weight reading, letting you track bloom time or total extraction time without needing a separate stopwatch or phone timer running next to the scale. The display uses a high contrast screen with the weight shown in white and the timer shown in a bright orange on the same screen, making the two numbers easy to tell apart at a glance while brewing. This combination of weight and timer on one screen is aimed at anyone following a written recipe that specifies both a water amount and a pour or bloom duration.

Design, protection and power

The scale comes with a heat-resistant, dishwasher-safe silicone cover that sits over the weighing platform, protecting it from spills and hot items like a French press or kettle set directly on top, and its grooved surface is meant to keep brewing gear from sliding around during use. It runs on 3 AAA batteries, which come pre-installed, and shuts off automatically after 2 minutes without activity to save power. The Birch White finish gives the scale a bright, minimalist look, though as with any light colored kitchen tool, spilled coffee grounds or water spots tend to show up more visibly than they would on a black or darker finish.

Who should buy this

This scale suits home coffee brewers who already weigh their coffee and water and want a timer built into the same device rather than juggling two separate tools. The wide 3 kilogram capacity and six unit options make it flexible enough for espresso dosing, pour over brewing and general kitchen use without needing a second scale. Greater Goods backs the scale with a 5 year warranty and ongoing US-based support, which is a meaningful point of reassurance for a device that sits on the counter and gets daily use, and buyers who want a darker finish that hides spills better should look at the brand's Onyx Black version instead.
