{"title":"Scales","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"nucleus-stem","title":"Nucleus STEM","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe've always believed that a good coffee scale is one of the best investments you can make in the quality of your coffee, whether you're using a French press or a high-end espresso machine. While we offer \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/coffee-scales\" title=\"See your coffee scales here\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ecoffee scales\u003c\/a\u003e at a wide array of prices, they're never trivial purchases. Especially under an espresso machine, where boiling hot water is pumped at high pressures, it can be easy to get a little paranoid about your scale, especially when it's sitting on your machine's drip tray. With its eye for barista quality-of-life, Nucleus is here to solve this issue entirely with its latest product: the STEM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Nucleus STEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STEM is designed by Nucleus Coffee Tools and, like all Nucleus products, it has the potential to drastically improve your espresso workflow. Specifically, the STEM is designed to allow you to measure your espresso yield while placing your coffee scale \u003cem\u003ebeneath\u003c\/em\u003e your espresso machine's drip tray instead of on top of it. Designed to fit on top of full-size coffee scales, the STEM is an adjustable stand that will hold your espresso cups over the drip tray, just under the group head, allowing you to harness the precision a scale gives you when pulling shots, without the risks or space constraints of having a scale under your cups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring espresso yields has become a common practice, both for home baristas and at specialty coffee shops. In fact, there are now high-end machines with built-in drip-tray scales, though these tend to cost a small fortune as optional add-ons. The alternative to date has been small form-factor scales but these come with their challenges. They inevitably take up what is already a small space between the drip tray and the portafilter spouts. Even if waterproof, they are still at risk because of all the hot water and steam they come into contact with. Last but not least, they sometimes aren't as easy to use as full-size scales. The STEM eliminates all of these problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nHTcEckdg8k\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" style=\"display: block; margin: 40px auto;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its matte black finish, the STEM fits right into any aesthetically-conscious espresso setup.

In short: the STEM is everything you'd expect from a Nucleus product. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for the professional barista and dedicated home barista alike, the STEM allows you to keep your countertop clean, your scale safe and your extractions precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Nucleus Coffee Tools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNucleus Coffee Tools was founded by former World Barista Champion, Sasa Sestic.

Recipe and extraction data are exchanged between GbS grinders and compatible commercial espresso machines (such as select \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/la-marzocco\" title=\"Browse our range of La Marzocco's premium equipment\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLa Marzocco\u003c\/a\u003e or Sanremo models), or a Sync-enabled smart device, via the Mahlkonig Sync App. This means you can use your phone to set a target extraction time, and if the shot’s volume is too high or low, or it is pulled too fast or too slow, the grinder automatically adjusts burr distance to match the target. This feature removes guesswork, variability, and the recurring need for manual dialling-in for flavour consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use the Mahlkonig Sync Scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo set your scale, first manually dial in a shot using the scale. Once dialled in, set your recipe weight, burr distance and brew time on compatible GbS grinders (ignoring pre-infusion time). Then, enable Grind-by-Sync on your grinder’s recipe menu. Extract another espresso to the desired ratio using the grinder’s auto Grind-by-Sync and the Sync Scale. If the shot timing is longer or shorter than your original programming, the scale communicates with the grinder to automatically fine-tune the burr distance and maintain your recipe pre-set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" width=\"560\" style=\"margin: 40px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZtNezqRew00?si=oIgiEeumeinp0iZA\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMahlkonig Sync Scale features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact yet spacious; two cups fit side-by-side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive device modes for different brewing styles, including two Sync-enabled modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeamless WiFi connectivity for synchronised brewing \u0026amp; real-time tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable construction with powder-coated aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat-resistant display ensures clear readability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-resistant body protects against splashes \u0026amp; spills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal USB-C for fast charging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMahlkonig Sync Scale specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lithium-ion rechargeable 3.7V 1850mAh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery life:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13 hours with WiFi \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17 hours without WiFi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2060 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e WiFi (2.4Ghz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W 106 x H 160 x D 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Aluminium, acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay: Heat-resistant glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2000 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasuring units:\u003c\/strong\u003e g \/ oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReadability:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepeatability:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5V \/ 1A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncluded in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat-resistant pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicro USB-C cable (80 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 g calibration weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mahlkonig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45943886086330,"sku":"MSS2","price":7199.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/5754\/1818\/files\/Mahlkonig_Sync_Scale_hero.jpg?v=1780482497"},{"product_id":"acaia-lunar-water-resistant-bluetooth-espresso-scale","title":"Acaia Lunar Water Resistant Bluetooth Espresso Scale","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/acaia\"\u003eAcaia\u003c\/a\u003e Lunar is the espresso-oriented cousin of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/acaia\/products\/acaia-pearl-digital-bluetooth-coffee-scale\"\u003eAcaia Pearl\u003c\/a\u003e.

There’s simply no better way to measure your variables accurately, which you have to do if you want to get any kind of consistency out of your brews. If you don’t know what you’re dosing, you don’t know what to change if your coffee comes out poor, or what to keep the same if you pull off a tasty cup. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasy to use and with an attractive price tag, \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Browse more Wacaco items here\" href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/wacaco\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWacaco's\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/products\/wacaco-exagram-coffee-scale\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/products\/wacaco-exagram-coffee-scale\"\u003eExagaram scale\u003c\/a\u003e is the perfect entry-level coffee scale, but it lacks some of the cooler features found on higher-end devices. The Exagram Pro is a significant upgrade that still manages to be relatively affordable by coffee scale standards. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting with some pretty standard coffee scale features, the Exagram Pro is precise and sensitive, measuring 0.1g increments with the appropriate reactivity for a brewing scale. It sports the all-important tare button and a built-in timer which also features an automatic start function, so you can just focus on your pour. It’s also splash-proof just in case your brewing goes awry, and boasts a USB-C rechargeable battery that lasts 15 hours on a full charge, which takes only 2 hours to achieve. This is a significant upgrade on the original Exagram, which uses AAA batteries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s really cool about the Exagram Pro is that it also measures and displays your brewing ratio when put into “pour-over mode”. By memorising your coffee dose, it will then display your ratio of coffee-to-water as you pour, and Wacaco provides a handy 5-pour brewing guide with recommended ratio targets, such as 1:3 for your blooming phase. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the Exagram Pro is also more diminutive than its progenitor, making it even more portable. On the whole, it’s about 20% smaller than the original Exagram, though most of this difference is seen in its length and breadth.

The main thing is that you need something that can measure in 0.1g increments. This might sound pedantic to the uninitiated, but trust us when we say that the difference between 15.2g and 15.8g of ground coffee can really be night and day. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost coffee scales also come with a built-in-timer, giving you integrated access to another essential brewing variable: time. For manual brews like a V60 or French press there’s a little more wiggle room with time than with your coffee and water grammage, though for more thorough brewing recipes the ability to monitor your bloom, pour, and immersion times can really take your brewing to the next level. However, a timer is essential for espresso. Aside from directly affecting the taste of your drink itself, your shot time is an indicator of the quality of your puck prep. Without a timer, you’ll never be able to reliably tell if your puck is underdosed, ground too fine, or distributed poorly, even if you’re able to get a consistent volume of coffee each time regardless. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresso’s scale is perfect for both new and established coffee enthusiasts, and is great for a commercial setting too. It provides precise 0.1g measurements, comes with a built-in timer, and is rechargeable, meaning you never have to worry about springing for batteries. It’s also appropriately responsive, sports an essential tare function, and comes with a silicone heat mat to protect internals from heat-related damage. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePresso Coffee Scale Size guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresso’s scale comes in two sizes.
