Calibration weight 100g

Why calibrate your scale

Over time, a scale can start to drift a little, for example after a drop, due to temperature changes or simply from heavy use. A difference of a few tenths of a gram doesn’t sound like much, but with espresso it really matters. After all, you dial in your grinder based on what your scale tells you. If that’s off, your grind setting will be off too. And we don’t want that!

A calibration weight gets your scale spot on again. You place the weight on it, the scale knows it’s exactly 100 grams, and adjusts itself accordingly.

Which scales can you calibrate with it?

The calibration weight works with any scale that you calibrate with 100 grams, whatever the brand. The Pro Coffee Scale already comes with this weight as standard. Got the Mini Coffee Scale V2, lost your weight or have a different scale? Then you can order it separately here.
