This scale is light weight and easy to read, sorry I'm not sure at 1 or 2 grams.

The scale I received weighs ounces and grams only, but down to the 1/100 of each. If you can convert n.nn grams to grains, and 1/100th of a gram is sufficiently accurate, then you should be able to do what you need to do with this scale.

The box says grams but the scale says pounds. It does NOT give you weight in grams. You must pay return shipping if this scale if it's not right 4 U

This scale does NOT MEASURE OUNCES, regardless of what others have said (yes you can convert, but who wants to?). The ACP-500 will display in ounces but you lose a little accuracy. (ACP-200 is accurate to 0.02g or 0.000705479 ounces where the ACP-500 is accurate to 0.02g or 0.00705479 ounces) For most purposes (when measuring in ounces) accuracy to 7 1/1000ths of an ounces isn't bad, especially when it will only display to the nearest 1/100th of an ounce.

I have used the scale to measure the weight of a letter, which would be less than an ounce. Since there are 28 grams in an ounce, I would think that by measuring in grams, you would get a measure that is closer to what you need than by measuring in less than an ounce. However, I do not measure such small amounts for my baking. For small measures, I use a tablespoon-teaspoon. Sorry I can't help.

Well, I just tried to weigh my 11 pound dog on it and it didn't register. So I wouldn't count on it weighing your grams and ounces! However, it did weigh accurately compared to our Doctors scale for humans.

Always best/most accurate to measure by weight. The basic recipe has 14.75oz. My scale rounds that to 14.8 and never had a problem :)

NoThe scale does not do fractions of grams. Only full numbers. Ditto for ounces.

I used weight 3 or 5. I don't like the bands. Its really personal choice with the weights. He'll say "if this doesnt burn, go heavier, if this burns too much and you can't keep up, go lighter". I was fine with 3's.

What you really need is a scale. This is the one I have and it works great(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESHDGOI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1). There might be cheaper or different ones that are better now, but just make sure that you get one that has a resolution of .001 grams. That will measure down to individual milligrams. I use a regular plastic straw to scoop it out of the bag and put it onto the scale. This scale comes with a little weighing dish that is perfect for measuring powders. Trying to measure with spoons is ridiculous. Do you pack it or leave it fluffy or what? What you really need is a scale.

There is no need to calibrate the scale before use. I use the scale to weigh out coffee for my morning brew. The measurement readings change with increases in weight. From 0-200g you're able to measure to the nearest hundredth of a gram (0.01g). From 201-500g your able to measure to the nearest tenth of a gram (0.1g)From 501 - 2000g you're able to measure to the nearest gram (1g)Hope this helps.

Hello, I know you are looking for reviews for someone besides the seller, but I use this scale myself for several things and really like it... when I had my coffee business, I used it to weigh packages to ship almost daily, and I've also used it for envelopes to see if it required one stamp or two. I use it daily now to measure the pounds of pressure when I tamp (pack) my coffee for making espresso. It's a very accurate scale, measuring in decimals, not rounding to the nearest whole #, so you can get a very accurate reading. Ive never had anything returned to me for insufficient postage so I can only assume that it is doing its job correctly :) Hope this helps. (p.s. it's lightweight but appears pretty durable and well-built. J-Scales is a reliable company that makes hundreds of different models. They're well-known in the food, shipping, coffee, medical, and tobacco industries for their products. Pretty reputable I'd say.

I purchased this scale as a teaching tool. Since receiving your question I have been using calibrated weights to check accuracy and it has been spot on. I have also rigged an apparatus that allows us to weigh odd shaped items such as a flake of hay and I have found this scale to very handy in the barn. I do not know how to calibrate it and it is clearly marked "not legal for trade" I hope this is useful.

My digital scales read 3 1/2 lbs. It seems a little heavier than that. I think you could go to the Fiskars' web page and get an accurate weight.

It can only measure with gram accuracy.so, 12.34 g will show up as 12 g.Up to 20kg it should have tolerance 1g and between 20kg and 50kg tolerance is 2g.The scale which has accuracy 0.01g and can weight up to 50kg will cost more then thousand dollars

No. It does not measure in 10th of a gram. I don't think you need to measure coffee/water more precisely than in grams. The weight of water changes with temperature, so unless you are talking about tiny amounts of water and have your water at the same temperature all the time, grams may be sufficient. Of course, that is just my opinion. If you really need precise measurements, you may want to get a scale that measure in grains as well as grams. I love the scale for measuring in the kitchen. It is the best kitchen scale I have owned.

its pretty accurate for me, and I only base that on going to dr's office me and my kids getting weighed and my scale saying the same thing. I've tested it lol
