Introduction

If you’re serious about your coffee, a reliable coffee scale isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s essential. Whether you brew using an AeroPress on the trail, perform a precise V60 pour over at home, press a strong French Press, or pull perfect espresso shots, the best coffee scale can transform your brewing game from guesswork to consistency.

But not all coffee scales are created equal — and each brew method demands something slightly different. In this guide, we’ll break down what to look for and why MANTABREW may just be the last coffee scale you’ll ever need.

What Makes a Great Coffee Scale?

Before diving into specific brewing methods, here are the features that matter most in a great coffee scale:

• Accuracy — Especially for espresso or pour over, a scale accurate to 0.1g is critical.

• Fast response time — No lag when pouring or measuring.

• Built-in timer — Crucial for pour overs and French press steeping.

• Splash-proof design — Spills happen. Protect your gear.

• Clear visibility — Backlit display, wide viewing angle for top-down or angled use.

• Portability — For travel or outdoor brewing like with AeroPress.

• Low profile — Needed for fitting under espresso machines.

Best Coffee Scale by Brewing Method

AeroPress

AeroPress lovers often brew on the go — in parks, trails, or campsites. You need:

• A compact, lightweight scale

• Long battery life or USB charging

• Splash resistance

• Fast responsiveness

MANTABREW’s modular design and portable form make it ideal for AeroPress use. You can leave the extra display module behind and just bring the essentials. Plus, it charges via USB-C and holds power for days.

V60 Pour Over

Pour overs like the V60 demand precision. You’re controlling the flow, timing, and weight in every circle.

What to look for:

• High precision (0.1g)

• Built-in timer

• A screen that’s easy to read from above or the side

MANTABREW shines here with its multi-angle visible display, real-time timer, and fast refresh rate — all in a minimal, clutter-free form.

French Press

French Press is more forgiving — but you still want consistency. Here, stability and ease of use matter more than ultra-fine accuracy.

Choose a scale with:

• A larger platform for bulky French Press carafes

• Timer for steeping

• Simplicity in operation

MANTABREW's wide platform and easy-touch controls make it a natural fit.

Espresso

Espresso brewing is the most demanding. Tare precision, timing, and fit are critical.

You need:

• 0.1g accuracy

• Fast refresh rate

• Low-profile height to fit under espresso machines

• Splash resistance from drips and crema

MANTABREW’s detachable platform fits tight spaces, and its lightning-fast responsiveness ensures your shots are dialed in every time.
