Does this scale give you an instant readout? I'm looking for a scale to weigh espresso while it's brewing so I need a very quick readout.

If you intend to weight the ground espresso prior to brewing, this would be a fine scale. The reading fluctuates with the items as they placed on the scale and come to a rest, so the reading indeed is instantaneous (there's no pause between the final resting weight of the item & the readout on the monitor). The backlit display screen is always on & the scale is always constantly weighing the measuring plate. Hope this helps.

Hello, I am not thrilled with this scale. It does measure quick. It send the values to the PC via a USB cable, the software you are using has to be able to read the scale. My problem is that the scale seems to "drift" just from sitting and becomes inaccurate. Dymo has sent me 2 replacements already and they all do the same thing.

Unfortunately not. The reading changes instantly. I had to buy a bowl with a bottom diameter about the size of the scale one.

Yes. If you push the on/off button while weighing, it will "hold" the reading. Hope that helps.

Mine is almost instant unless measuring something shiny. I found mine does not work as well on shiny surfaces

no but i measure my coffee by using a measured scoop and i believe that markings would be hard to read.

It is as manual as it gets. A lot of it is intuitive since the ready light is not a true indicator. At times the temperature got higher than ideal that it scolded the taste. Better have the espresso grounds ready Head of time. In my experience, it would take about 5-7 minutes for 6 shots.

This scale does need you to be still for a moment, but it responds quickly. If you are moving, you do shift the weight that is shown on the display. It can give you a couple of different weights if you move too much.

There are 2 buttons for brews, one for expresso which is 2 oz and the other for coffee which is 8 oz. When I make an expresso, I usually press the button twice unless I want it that strong.

Pretty quick, c. 1 minute. I get it started just before I start running the espresso machine, never have to wait much.

It purports to read out in hundredths of a pound, but I can tell you that when you put less than a pound on the scale it doesn't register at all. I was trying to measure something I knew to weigh several ounces, and it still read "0.00". That leads me to conclude that any numbers to the right of the decimal on this scale really aren't reliable, because it simply is not that precise.

Mark- My bad. I checked it out and now it grinds espresso really well!Thanks dude.

No, It only measures by the cup. You can adjust the amount the cup will dispense with a knob so I think you could calibrate, with a scale, the amount that is dispensed by weight. I bought this machine because it is excellent in it's consistency of the grind and the and the amount it dispenses.

It is not automatic, but the app has a camera tool built in, so as soon as it focuses on the scale and locates the weight reading, it scans the data and shows you the result for confirmation. On my tablet, somedays that only takes a second or two, but sometime the camera focus won't lock on, and it takes 5-10 seconds. ( But I am pretty sure that's my tablet's problem )

Yes, that is what I found. I have a small bathroom and don't have the room to leave the scale out; so it is stored on edge next to the cabinet. With the Tap-to-zero scale this replaced, this was never as issue and weighing took 15-20 secs. With the MIRA Instant On I have to: -step on and wait until the scale settles and flashes -step off and wait until the display is off -then re-weigh myself. I consistently see a 1-6 lb difference between the two readings. The scale is consistent after that...until it is stored back on edge. Perhaps not what it was designed to do, and the reason why I didn't return it. I don't know your application and I have not tested moving it from one flat place to another. Good luck.

I agree with E Dennis. It's more of an estimate. I have been using mine for over a year and fill the water tank to 6 cups every morning (to make 3 actual mugs of coffee) and the gauge reads full. I use the gauge to take it down in thirds. When I make a full pot the gauge reads full for a couple of draws and then starts to move down.

I don't think it captures peak weight, I use it for real-time readings. As far as calibrating, you leave it idle, and it "zeros out", then you put it in use.
