Wacaco Exagram Pro Multi-Mode Coffee Weighing Station

£41.90

Any coffee enthusiast will know just how vital it is to get that perfect cup of coffee in the morning, and the careful precision it requires to make the perfect brew. Wacaco know how vital weighing is in this process, and so they’ve developed their Exagram Pro which provides a multi-mode coffee weighing station that fits in the palm of your hand.

When I first opened the box, I was immediately surprised by just how small the scale is, as it could easily fit in your pocket with room to spare. However, despite its small size, the weighing scale packs a punch with its variety of weighing options designed to help you make your perfect coffee whether you’re at home or on the go.

The Exagram Pro has multi-mode functionality, which brings together auto-detection, a built-in timer, and a super high sensitivity sensor which allows you to seamlessly get the perfect espresso or pour-over setting designed to your specific coffee needs. I liked that with its multi-functionality you can easily customize your coffee to your specific preference, and in the process also begin to experiment with new brewing methods to see how varying pour-over lengths and ground coffee amounts can provide a different flavour. Plus you can even save your preferred ground coffee weight so you can get your coffee just the way you like it every time. 

In terms of construction, the unit is super sleek and small with a splashproof exterior. This means you can pour over directly onto the scale to measure, whilst not having to worry about any splashes harming the sensitive internal components. Similarly, the top comes with a removable silicone pad which provides the unit with heat resistance, and a non-slip surface for a super easy and stable user experience with each use. Plus, inside the weighing station is a rechargeable lithium battery that can hold up to 15 hours on a single charger. However, when you do need to charge it, it comes with an included USB-C cable for easy charging. But, with 15 hours of charge, it is sure to last a long time even if used every day for measuring your coffee.

I was pleased to see that the Exagram Pro comes with a transportation case which protects the case when on the move and can even be used to lift the scale up. This means that the scale can then be placed under an espresso machine portafilter to help minimise espresso projections, or under the espresso basket to help prevent mess by helping deliver a cleaner extraction by keeping things just that little bit closer.

If you’re a coffee enthusiast or know someone who is, the Exagram Pro is a super helpful, nifty device that will ensure you can always get your perfect cup of coffee no matter where you go. I love just how compact it is, so I can take it with me on the go knowing that it is ready to deliver all the weighing and timing needs so I can enjoy my coffee no matter where I am.

Pros:

• Compact, travel-friendly size for easy use on the go
• Range of versatile functions so you can get your preferred coffee brew/blend every time
• Weight memory to take the guesswork out of your coffee each morning by saving your preferences
• Initiative front buttons and display for easy use

Cons:

• Small size means it may not be ideal for larger weighed quantities
