What Scale Do You Need to Make Filter Coffee?

To brew consistently great filter coffee, precision is key.

At Ublend®, we’ve tested and approved the The Little Guy® Professional Scale Gen 2 for both home and café use.

Why We Recommend The Little Guy® Professional Scale Gen 2

After hands-on testing in real brewing environments, this scale stood out for its:

• 0.1g precision – Essential for dialling in the perfect brew ratio

• Built-in fast and accurate timer – Helps you manage extraction time with accuracy

• Instant responsiveness – No lag when adding ingredients

• Multiple coffee modes - espresso shot and filter included

• Tare function – Reset weight after adding your brewer or cup

• Rechargeable battery – No need to constantly replace batteries

• Solid, compact design – Durable enough for daily café use, compact enough for home brewers

Why It Matters?

Brewing filter coffee is all about balance. A typical brew ratio is 1:16 — 1 gram of coffee to 16 grams of water. Even small inconsistencies can affect extraction, flavour, and clarity.

That’s why we use — and stand by — The Little Guy® Professional Scale Gen 2. Because great coffee starts with precision.
