Mode 3 - Pour Over Auto-Start Mode
The Pour-Over Auto-Start Timer Mode is designed to aid pour-over coffee brewing. The scale will detect the start of the flow from kettle into the vessel and automatically start the timer function; the timer stops when the brewing equipment has been removed from the scale. When the vessel is removed from the scale, the display flashes the final beverage weight.
Display
• In grams, the LED display shows [ 0:00 0.0 ] with the timer on the left and the weight on the right.
• In ounces, the LED display shows [ 0:00 0.00 ] with the timer on the left and the weight on the right. • The timer displays from [ 0:00 ] to [ 9:59 ].
• Flow-Rate Indicator is supported in this mode.
Mode 4- Portafilter Mode
The Portafilter Mode is designed to simplify the workflow of weighing coffee grounds in a portafilter. The scale automatically detects a portafilter or other vessel and tares the weight of the vessel. Remove the portafilter to add coffee grounds, then place on the scale again to measure the weight of the coffee grounds. Repeat as needed to adjust the weight. After the portafilter has been removed for 15 seconds, the scale will reset the mode to default for the next workflow.
Display
• In grams, the display shows [ 0.0 ] before a portafilter is placed on the scale.
• In ounces, the display shows [ 0.000 ] before a portafilter is placed on the scale.
Mode 5 - Espresso Mode
Display
• The LED display flashes [ 0.0 ] and [ 0:00 0.0 ] when measuring in grams and the timer is idle.
• The LED display flashes [ 0.000 ] and [ 0:00 0.000 ] when measuring in ounces and the timer is idle. • When the weight exceeds 999 grams, the LED display only shows the integer part (the decimal point will not be displayed). The LED display shows up to a maximum of 3000 grams. If the weight exceeds 3000 grams, the scale will display [ Maximum ].
Note
1. In Espresso Mode, the timer will stop when the espresso flow stops.
2. The auto-tare function is performed only when the weight exceeds two grams.
3. If you leave the scale idle for ten seconds, it will reset the timer and perform tare operation.
4. In Espresso Mode, the timer will also stop when a negative weight (i.e., removal of a cup) is detected.
Mode 6 - Flowrate Mode
Designed for pour-over coffee brewing. The display includes timer, weight, and flowrate.
Display
• The LED display shows [ 0:00 0.0 0.0 ] when the scale is measuring in grams.
• The LED display shows [ 0:00 0.000 0.00 ] when the scale is measuring in ounces.
• When the weight exceeds 999 grams, the LED display only shows the integer part (the decimal point will not be displayed). The LED display shows up to a maximum of 3000 grams. If the weight exceeds 3000 grams, the scale will display [ Maximum ].
• The flowrate is measured in grams per second (g/s) on the right hand side of the display.
Mode 7 - Flowrate Practice Mode
This mode is designed to aid espresso extraction. The scale automatically tares the weight of the vessel. It will then detect the start of the flow of espresso into the vessel and automatically start the timer function; the timer stops when the flow of espresso into the vessel stops.
- The flowrate is measured in g/s and oz/s.
- Each dot on the indicator bar represents a 0.5 g/s increment. The bar provides a
visualization of flowrate stability.
