The dose your coffee or espresso grinder can dispense can vary day to day or hour to hour based on a number of variables, making checking your dose important. Don't forget to use a coffee measuring spoon as well to get the perfect blend.
Depending on your coffee dosing method establishing a consistent dose can be difficult. The Rhino Coffee Gear Dosing Scale is a useful bench scale that doesn't take up much space but allows you to check the basket dose throughout a day. With a 0.1g accuracy, this scale is sure to help deliver the perfect espresso every time!

The Scale That Lives on Your Drip Tray
Consistent espresso dosing is one of the most controllable variables in your workflow — but only if you're actually measuring. The Rhino Coffee Gear Dosing Scale is designed to make that measurement part of the process rather than an interruption to it: compact enough to sit directly on the drip tray, low enough in profile that a wider range of cup sizes still fit under the portafilter, and accurate to 0.1g — the precision level that makes the difference between a repeatable dose and a rough estimate. It's the kind of scale you leave in place and use every time rather than one you pull out of a drawer for the occasional check.
0.1g Accuracy, Decent Refresh Rate, Low Profile
The 0.1g resolution means you're measuring to the precision that matters for espresso dosing — a half-gram difference in dose is enough to change extraction time, yield, and flavour, and a scale that can't resolve that is only half-useful. One reviewer noted the refresh rate as a genuine practical advantage: "you know how your shot is coming along" — the display updates quickly enough to use it as a shot monitoring scale during extraction, not just for pre-dose weighing. The low profile is the other practical detail that separates this from taller kitchen scales: less height means more portafilter clearance, which means more usable cup options beneath the group head without repositioning the scale.
What to Know Before You Use It
Batteries are included. The scale ships with an acrylic protective cover over the display — one reviewer noted they didn't realise it was removable and couldn't get the scale to turn on until they figured it out. Lift the cover off and the scale works perfectly. For those building out a complete espresso workflow, the Rhino Dosing Scale pairs naturally with a dosing cup for clean, accurate pre-ground transfers, and sits alongside the broader Rhino Scale range at Coffee Addicts — including the Bench Portafilter Scale (2kg, larger stainless platform), the Stealth Espresso Scale (IP65 water-resistant, sloped display), and the Pocket Scale (600g, travel-friendly).
