Its small footprint makes it suitable for pour-over setups as well as many espresso machine drip trays, while 0.1g measurement intervals through its normal coffee-brewing range provide considerably more useful information than measuring coffee by scoops or volume.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Alongside weighing, the Exagram includes a brewing timer, tare function, automatic timer features and a removable silicone insulating pad. It is therefore a useful first dedicated coffee scale without requiring the cost or complexity of a more advanced brewing scale.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Amazon Affiliate CTA --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 28px 0; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/link.amazon\/B0aLooRB2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored\" style=\"\n       display: inline-block;\n       background-color: #111111;\n       color: #ffffff;\n       font-weight: 600;\n       font-size: 15px;\n       letter-spacing: 0.2px;\n       padding: 15px 30px;\n       border-radius: 4px;\n       text-decoration: none;\n     \"\u003e\n    Check Current Price on Amazon UK →\n  \u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"\n    font-size: 11px;\n    color: #777777;\n    margin: 8px 0 0;\n    line-height: 1.4;\n  \"\u003e\n    Amazon UK affiliate link · Price and availability may change\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Consider the Wacaco Exagram?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  A digital scale is one of the simplest ways to make coffee brewing more repeatable. Instead of estimating a scoop of coffee or judging water by eye, you can record the actual quantities used and reproduce the same recipe next time.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The Exagram combines that basic measurement with a timer in a unit measuring only 77 × 124mm. This makes it useful across several brewing methods without occupying much space on the worktop.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeighing range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3g to 2kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale interval:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1g from 0.3g to 999.9g; 1g from 1kg to 2kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 29 minutes 59 seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weight, timer and tare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional timer functions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Auto-timer and auto-pause\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement units:\u003c\/strong\u003e g, oz and ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Backlit LCD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic power-off:\u003c\/strong\u003e After 5 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × AAA batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBatteries included:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABS, stainless steel and silicone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 77 × 124 × 24mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 171g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exagram scale, silicone pad and instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e0.1g Measurement for Coffee Brewing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Through the range most relevant to coffee brewing, from 0.3g to 999.9g, the Exagram displays changes in 0.1g increments.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  That is particularly useful when weighing an espresso dose or recording a filter-coffee recipe. A difference of a few grams can materially change the coffee-to-water ratio, so a dedicated scale provides much more useful feedback than a conventional kitchen scale that only measures in whole grams.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Above 1kg, the Exagram changes to 1g intervals, with a maximum weighing capacity of 2kg.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt-In Brewing Timer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Weight is only one part of a coffee recipe. Brewing time can also help you understand why one cup behaves differently from another.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The Exagram incorporates a timer capable of counting up to 29 minutes and 59 seconds, allowing weight and brewing time to be monitored from the same device rather than using a separate phone timer.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Updated versions of the Exagram also include automatic timer and auto-pause functions, giving you additional options for tracking a brew.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUseful for Pour-Over\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Pour-over brewing is one of the clearest reasons to use a scale. You can place the brewer and vessel directly onto the Exagram, tare the display, add the required dose of coffee and then monitor the amount of brewing water as it is poured.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  This allows recipes to be expressed as actual coffee-to-water ratios rather than vague measures such as scoops, cups or approximate pouring levels.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The integrated timer also makes it easier to record bloom time and overall brewing time while following a V60 or other pour-over recipe.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompact Enough for Espresso\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  At only 77mm wide and 24mm high, the Exagram has been designed to fit into compact coffee setups and many espresso machine trays.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  For espresso, the scale can be used to weigh the coffee dose before brewing and, where there is sufficient clearance beneath the cup, to monitor the liquid espresso produced during extraction.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Measuring both dose and beverage weight makes it possible to work with an espresso ratio rather than stopping a shot purely by appearance or volume.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTare Function\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The tare function resets the displayed weight to zero after a container, cup or brewing vessel has been placed on the scale.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  This means you can measure only the ingredient or liquid being added rather than having to subtract the weight of the equipment manually.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  It is a simple feature, but one that becomes central to recipe-based coffee brewing.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRemovable Silicone Pad\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Wacaco supplies the Exagram with a removable silicone pad that sits over the stainless-steel weighing surface.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The pad helps protect the scale from heat transfer, scratches and minor liquid spills while also providing a less slippery surface for cups and brewing equipment.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  It can be removed when the scale needs cleaning.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBattery Powered Rather Than Rechargeable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The Exagram uses two AAA batteries rather than an internal rechargeable battery. Batteries are not included.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Whether this is an advantage or disadvantage depends on preference. There is no charging routine or rechargeable battery to manage, but replacement batteries need to be kept available.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The scale automatically powers off after five minutes of inactivity to reduce unnecessary battery use.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is the Wacaco Exagram For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Exagram is particularly worth considering if you:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ewant your first dedicated coffee scale;\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ewant to stop estimating coffee and water quantities;\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ebrew V60 or other pour-over coffee;\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003euse an AeroPress and want repeatable recipes;\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ewant to weigh espresso dose and beverage yield;\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eneed a compact scale for an espresso machine tray;\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ewant a timer and scale in the same device; or\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ewant 0.1g measurement without immediately moving to a more expensive specialist scale.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Should Look Elsewhere?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The Exagram is deliberately compact and relatively straightforward. Someone wanting more advanced automatic espresso modes, guided pour-over ratios, rechargeable power or more sophisticated brewing programmes may prefer a higher-specification coffee scale.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Its AAA battery power may also be less appealing if you specifically want a USB-rechargeable device.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Conversely, someone who only wants to weigh larger quantities of food and has no need for 0.1g coffee measurement or an integrated timer may be adequately served by a conventional kitchen scale.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Use a Coffee Scale Instead of Scoops?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Coffee beans and grounds do not have a fixed relationship between volume and weight. Different roast levels, bean sizes and grind sizes can occupy different amounts of space.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Measuring in grams removes much of that uncertainty.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Once you know the actual coffee dose and water quantity, you can repeat a successful recipe or deliberately change one variable when the result needs adjustment.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the Exagram Fits in a Beginner Setup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  A useful beginner coffee setup does not need to contain large amounts of specialist equipment. A suitable brewer, adjustable grinder, scale and kettle provide enough control to start understanding how a recipe behaves.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The Exagram fills the scale position particularly well because it covers both major jobs: measuring ingredients and timing the brew.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  It can also remain useful if the setup later expands from filter brewing into espresso.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConclusion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The Wacaco Exagram is a compact and relatively straightforward way to introduce accurate measurement into home coffee brewing.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Its 0.1g measurement intervals through the normal coffee-brewing range, 2kg maximum capacity, integrated timer, tare function and small footprint make it suitable for everything from V60 and AeroPress recipes to weighing espresso.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  More advanced scales provide rechargeable batteries and additional automated brewing functions, but not everybody needs those features.
