About this deal

No matter how accurate you are with the weight of your coffee, though, it will only taste as good as the coffee you use to brew. Understanding how to choose the best coffee for your palate is discussed in this article:

The Felicita ARC scales are possibly the ultimate and only scale you’ll ever need for taking coffee brewing seriously at home. The Felictia Arc Scales is super rapid & precise response time and auto-tare / auto-timer modes which makes it an intelligent coffee scales. The size of this Arc scale is huge which can hold up to two espresso cups or even hold up a portafilter, alongside its small enough to fit onto a drip tray. One advantage of this elegant Arc scale is that, it is water resistant which helps to prevent any water damage alongside it is ideal for weighting espresso shots. Also, the Arc scales has a LED weight / timer dual display, Bluetooth connectivity with Felicita App They're a good few cm deeper than the Timemore, 1cm narrower, and just a few mm taller. The good stuff. If you use scales then you remove all of that uncertainty. If you don't use scales, the resulting coffee is going to vary in taste from one cup to the next. Beeping while timing. This would be a plus for anyone with impaired vision, as would the big tactile buttons, but for everyone else, I think the beeping is a bit of a pain. You can turn this off though, as a viewer responded, see the comments on the video above for instructions.To conclude this post, as with everything coffee-related, there's plenty of options out there, ranging from the more domestic, cheaper “standard” coffee scales right up to the professional grade barista gear at prices that would lead many of us to take a sharp intake of breath, followed by one or two rather rude words.

It's a bit chunky, which means it's not going to fit under all portafilters, for espresso. If you're using manual brew methods this isn't an issue, but if you're using an espresso machine, it'll depend on what machine you're using and also whether you're using a low level drip tray, bottomless portafilter, etc., They offer three scales, this one (Parallel), Arc & Incline. Parallel & Incline were designed with manual brew methods in mind, while Arc is an espresso specialist scale. The good stuff. Over the past year, however, new scales from Felicita have been spotted in more and more shops, and we’ve been given an opportunity to review their offering in detail. Weighing coffee is an intrinsic part of making any coffee regardless of skill level. At home or as a professional barista scales can be relentlessly used when measuring the coffee input, beverage output and brew times to create coffee to a high standard. An awful lot is demanded of them, from their ergonomic design, speed, durability and multi-functionality.It has the 100% satisfaction guarantee: if you’re not happy with the scale you can return it within 30 days. For example, with espresso as a general rule, you should be looking at around 20 grams of ground coffee to produce 40 grams of double espresso in your cup. Sleek and effective design. Looks good and is small enough to use for espresso or alternatively filter brew methods. The price. They're probably around two hundred quid more than the majority of people would consider spending on coffee scales – and some would see the price of these scales as utter lunacy, see what I did there? ;-). But they are made with pricey materials, they're certainly well built, and nothing feels cheap about them. Good in terms of height, fits a bigger range of espresso machines than some of the chunkier coffee scales.

Felicita Parallel, has a lithium-ion USB charge which is different to the Arc Scale. The accessories which are included are ‘removable heat resistant rubber mat’, ‘100g calibration weight’&‘Micro USB charging cable’. The more accurate you can be, the better your coffee will taste so however you choose to make your coffee, using dedicated coffee scales will give you an all-round better experience.For the typical single-brew coffee bar (or the home coffee brewer), the Incline is a fast responding and accurate scale. That makes a difference to the extraction and flavour so you’ll never get the consistency you need to get top quality coffee every time. Have a tendency to not be particularly precise with the weight, and can suffer from weight variance, meaning that if you put something on the scale, tare it and then weigh it again, you can get a different result. Creating great coffee is all about consistently doing the same thing and using the right amount of coffee and timing the extraction just right are two of the variables that will make a big difference to overall quality.

Many owners of these scales report that when you turn them on they default to 0.4 – 0.6g, and you need to tare them to clear that. Quirks like these I just think come with the territory, when you're deciding to spend as little as possible. Oh, wait, did I mention The Coffeeworks, my own coffee beans?? Hehe, yeah, I know I did, but here's another little plug just in case you missed the last one. The price, it's one of the most expensive coffee scales aimed at manual brew methods and is around three times the price of some of the more reasonably priced options above.So the main negative point in my opinion is they're overly faffy. I often end up in a mode I didn't want to be in, I often turn it on or off accidentally, the interface is just a bit faffy, and I can't really think of a better word to describe it. This is a great coffee scale for small/single brew bars or home brewing. Being slightly larger than the Arc, it also serves as a good portafilter/coffee scale next to a café grinder/espresso machine. Key Highlights And it’s not only the accuracy level that is important but also the increment levels. Cheap digital scales will measure to the nearest 1g but better scales will measure to the nearest 0.1 of a gram and the best scales will measure to 0.01 of a gram.
