Features and Performance
What makes the Hiroia “Jimmy” Drip and Espresso scale so different from the rest is its detachable, magnetic screen. While the scale does attach to an app to track a brew time and weight, the detachable screen makes it easy to bring that information wherever you go: from the top of your espresso machine, to any magnetic surface you can imagine.
The scale also comes with three espresso settings that you can change by clicking the on button on the screen, or by clicking through the app. Espresso mode one will start and stop the timer depending on flow rate. Espresso mode two has an auto-tare feature and will automatically start and stop the timer based on flow rate. The third mode also auto-tares, but will automatically start the timer with that tare. So as soon as a cup is placed on the scale, the timer begins. It is important to note, however, that these modes will not account for the start of the pump.
Because the scale is always using bluetooth to connect to the screen, the battery needs to be recharged. But that frequency depends on how often it is being used. Overall, the battery will last 10-15 hours in use. If used in a cafe setting every day, then you will need to charge it at the end of every day.
Why You Should Get It
The real magic of the Hiroia “Jimmy” Drip and Espresso scale is unlocked within the app, which is at its core is a journal that keeps track of how you use the scale and your specifications.
