Surprisingly great; functions really well and nice price was around $20
I can think of little negative to say, so if you're on the fence do try this scale! USB charging port matches all my other devices so I can just use those USB-C wall blocks. Charges medium-fast, lasts super long. Scale not always certainly within correct 0.1g measurement but MUCH better coffee produced than when I only knew +/-1.0g. Small and travel ready. Lightweight. Love the timer feature. Yes you can--and I did--mute the sounds haha. If this lasts for a few years, I am going to be a changed person--at least in the kitchen in the morning while making coffee.

Worth the money for precision
Very good, well made and accurate. It would be cool if it came in other colors but that's purely for aesthetic reasons, functionally it's perfect.

Nice scale for the price, makes getting perfect espresso dosing and ratios easy
Scale is quick to power on and off, and quick to tare. I have observed very consistent and repeatable measurements from this scale.The timer is nice and works as advertised although I do not personally use this function.The face buttons are a little sensitive. They are all touch buttons which is a pro because they are easy to keep clean and sanitary, but a con because they can be activated inadvertentlyIt would be a 5 star product if it was a little smaller. It is a bit deep and hangs off of my drip tray a bit, although no where near enough where it would become unstable. It would also be nice if it was a bit thinner. But that is asking a lot for a 20 dollar espresso scale.All in all it works as advertised and I would recommend it.

THIS IS THE ONE
Accurate, easy to use, rechargeable (no dealing with button batteries YAY!), compact but big enough and easy to clean. I have used this for espresso and baking since 2023 and it's never given me a hard time or any issues even with heavier recipes and lots of use. Will buy again, if i ever need to anyway! 🤷♀️

Great scale
Perfect for my pour-overs, coffee bean weighing and any food related things. Love that it has differnt units of measurement and being able to weigh heavier items like 5 pounds of batter is pretty nice.Easy to use, re-chargeable and looks clean in the kitchen next to my coffee setup. love it

Budget friendly alternative
Excellent quality for the price. Very accurate, to 1/10th of a gram. Highly recommend if you’re like me & on a budget.

The better of about 5 scales I purchased for espresso pulls. Still issues with TOUCH
The media could not be loaded. UPDATE with issues after longer use:So after owning a button push scale and this touch sense scale, I have noticed a pattern that these touch scales have...They SUCK for espresso!When making espresso, I tend to wash a couple things like pitcher, or a different cup I want to use, but even with dry clean hands these touch buttons do NOT work in a FAST paced routine. I have BOTH a push button, and 3 of these touch sense scales. The PUSH BUTTON NEVER fails, as its a confirmed push. The touch, is confused at times, and turning off is not clear, resetting the timer is not clear. I DO NOT want a scale that I have to think about. I need to press a button and it needs to respond 99-100% of the time. Its that simple.So I have to get rid of these and get a push button scale. Otherwise, this one is OK at best.This one is larger than the Maxus, which actually helps vs getting in the way. Let me explain....I use 2 scales. 1 dedicated by my grinder, which is actually a great scale pictured in the photos, and after being frustrated with the malfunctioning of the Maxus as false button selects due to wet hands or wet display...I purchased the BAGAIL Scale, this one to pull shots, weigh and time my extractions.This being a bit larger makes it easy to see the screen as it sticks out further from my drip tray area. Also the buttons are touch-sensitive, but, these are much less prone to false presses for some reason. Ironic, as the Maxus claims water resistant, and has a nice waterproof cover for the USB charge port, yet fails to work well in such work areas. You never plan on having a wet area, or fingers when making espresso, but then again, you will at times.Besides, with smaller display being under the grouphead, it is harder to read the Maxus, AND you will surely get water drops on it. All it takes is a small drop and the screen does things on its own.The battery life seams so far pretty good for 1 weeks/daily(more than 1 drink) use with no charging.So the CONs for this BAGAIL are:1.No cover for USB port from getting wet. (Though it is on the side will not a high likely hood of that happening, it would raise buyer confidence).2. The auto timing starts about 2-3 seconds delay from the first drop in the cup3. The scale platform is plastic (Maxus is stainless steel. This does NOT effect performance per say. But the Maxus feels nice and weighty, while the Bagial is a bit less weight and lacks that feel of perceived "quality").4. The rubber cover on the platform has deep grooves making it hard to clean and dry. I flipped mine over and it solves this (Maxus is same issue).In fact, I am not sure why they (ones I tried) dont make the rubber cover like a dish with ease wipe surface? So much easier and catches any liquid spills. No brainer!The Bagail also has a nice optional Beep sound at each press, so no guessing if you got it.I also tried 2 other scales, the smaller ones with lid cover. Those are a joke. Unless you have a tiny machine, or using it for snorting your grind beams, they are pretty much useless, and cumbersome to deal with, AND 1 of 2 failed on me. See my reviews on them.
