Nkove Coffee Scale With Timer review

A three-kilogram, 0.1-gram scale with a 99-minute timer, three units and a two-year warranty.

Where we land on it Three kilograms, a tenth of a gram, a 99-minute timer and two years of warranty, for the least money on this shelf. Another brand sells what appears to be the same scale here for four dollars more and no warranty.

What the maker puts in writing

  • 0.1 g (0.004 oz) increments · 0.3 g (0.01 oz) to 3,000 g (105.8 oz)
  • Count-up timer to 99′59″
  • One-touch tare · units g, oz, ml
  • ABS with removable silicone pad · backlit LED
  • AAA batteries included · 2-year warranty

The cheapest scale here is not the least equipped

Three kilograms matches the top of this shelf. A tenth of a gram matches seven of the eight. A two-year warranty beats six of them.

What it lacks is the refinement the dearer scales sell: a published settling time, a flow-rate display, a portafilter memory, a count-down.

The duplicate on the shelf

Another brand lists what reads as the same hardware four dollars higher, right down to the millimeter. Where two listings describe the same scale, the one with the warranty and the lower price is the one to take.

What it gets right, and wrong

Strengths

  • The lowest price on this shelf, with a two-year warranty that only one other scale here beats
  • Three kilograms of capacity, joint-highest on the shelf
  • Publishes the timer’s maximum — 99 minutes 59 seconds — which no other listing here does

Compromises

  • No auto-off figure published, so whether it will survive a long brew is unknown
  • AAA batteries rather than a rechargeable cell
  • No settling time, no flow rate, no portafilter memory — the three things that separate the dearer scales on this shelf

Where this one stands among its neighbors

What people want to know

Is it the same as the KitchenTour scale here?

The figures line up exactly: same 0.3-to-3,000-gram range, same 216 × 163 × 39 mm (8.50 × 6.42 × 1.54 in), same ABS platform and silicone pad, and this reference ends in EK6002 while the KitchenTour listing names the model EK6002 outright. This one was read four dollars lower and publishes a two-year warranty the other does not.

Will it switch off during a brew?

The listing does not say, and that is the gap. The KitchenTour equivalent publishes 120 seconds; the Hario on this shelf publishes five minutes and states the timer suspends it. Assume you will need to touch it.

What does a 99-minute timer buy me?

Nothing for coffee — four minutes is a long brew. It is worth noting only because it is published: no other listing on this shelf says how far its timer runs.
