Cleaning & Maintenance Tips to Keep Your WeighMaster Performing Like New
Introduction: Protect Your Investment
Your WeighMaster isn’t just a scale—it’s a precision instrument and a daily companion in your coffee ritual. Whether you’re pulling espresso or perfecting pour-over, keeping your scale clean and well-maintained is key to consistent performance and extended lifespan.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through simple cleaning and maintenance practices to keep your WeighMaster running—and looking—like new for years to come.
1. Daily Wipe-Down: Keep the Surface Clean
After each use, give your scale a quick wipe using a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth. This prevents coffee grinds, oils, and water spots from accumulating.
Avoid:
-
Harsh chemicals
-
Paper towels (which may scratch the surface)
-
Submerging in water (the scale is not waterproof)
✅ Tip: Use a lens cloth or screen-safe cloth for best results.
2. Clean Charging Contacts (Pogo Pins) Regularly
If your WeighMaster uses modular displays, proper charging depends on clean contact points between the scale base and the module.
Over time, dust, oils, or oxidation on the pogo pins can interfere with charging or connectivity.
How to clean:
-
Use a soft eraser to gently rub the pogo pins
-
Wipe with a dry cloth after
-
Avoid metal tools to prevent damage
⚡ If your scale isn’t charging well, this is often the fix.
3. Handle the Display Module with Care
Each WeighMaster module—whether it’s the LED bar or the full-color TFT screen—is a precision electronic component. When removing or attaching:
-
Hold the edges, not the display surface
-
Avoid bending or twisting
-
Make sure it's properly aligned with the magnets before snapping into place
🧲 Thanks to the magnetic mounting system, it’s easy to switch modules without tools.
4. Deep Cleaning (Weekly or As Needed)
If you're brewing daily, a deeper clean every week or two helps avoid buildup.
Steps:
-
Power off the scale
-
Remove the module
-
Use a soft brush to remove debris from crevices
-
Wipe all surfaces with a lightly dampened cloth
-
Let all parts fully dry before reassembling
☕ Coffee dust loves hiding in corners—don’t let it interfere with your precision.
5. Store Safely When Not in Use
If you're not using your WeighMaster every day, keep it stored in a dry, dust-free area.
Optional:
-
Use the original packaging for long-term storage
-
Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it
-
Keep away from extreme heat or humidity
