length of time stays on I'm measuring coffee, taring and adding water. Suddenly the scale turns off. How much time before adding new items to scale?

There is a one minute idle delay before the scale turns off. In this case, you would have 60 seconds after the tare, but it also resets the timer if the weight changes, so if you're measuring the yield of a pour over - it shouldn't turn off provided the weight is changing.

I asked this question a year ago..........needless to say I didn't buy this product..

Is your scale on a level, hard surface? If you do, you may have a defective scale. I first step on the scale and quickly step off. I wait until the scale turns off, then step on again to see my current weight.

The "timer" is not for tracking time. Your means of control is the amount of beans you place in the hopper. If there is "time" left on the timer you let it run out (you can shift the hopper "dial" so that the grinder stops while the timer runs down. If the timer runs out and there are beans still in the hopper, you reset the timer for your best guess at finishing the grinding. For a 12-cup drip, start with 2/3 of a cup of whole coffee beans which will yield about the same amount of grounds. The next time adjust the amount of beans based on your taste prefernce - more beans for a stronger coffee, less for a milder coffee. If you want to keep a voulme of beans in the hopper (I dont recommend this as the hopper is not air tight which is best for storing whole beans) you will have to experiment with what setting to use on the timer as it is not calibrated for "time" ie seconds, or minutes, etc.

Have not tried it yet. Have not tried it yet. Try shorter time in thermos. Check after 6 hours and then maybe add time. Try shorter time in thermos.

No, but you can just press the button again and it will reweigh it. It stays on for about 15 seconds. If the weight is changing (if you are pouring the water onto the scale), yes, it will stay on. I was using it for candles and was adding and subtracting wax for about 30 seconds and it stayed on the whole time as the weight was changing. It will only stay static for about 15 seconds. I don't remember the exact amount of time, but it was not very long. It's a nice little machine. I would recommend it. I hope that answers your question.

Might depend on how you perform the pour over. I have noticed if you do not pour for like a minute, the device will turn off. I usually make (2) 12 oz cups of coffee from my Chemex (44g coffee, 750-800g water). I have forgotten to turn on the device while pouring, but I have figured that as long as I measured the right amount of water in the kettle that I can pour all the water out without affecting the flavor. Also, I pour just a little bit up front to let the coffee bloom for like 30 seconds but then proceed pouring a steady stream which helps keep the scale active. Sorry for the essay but I hope this helps. Might depend on how you perform the pour over. I have noticed if you do not pour for like a minute, the device will turn off.

that sounds like a long time. I have never timed it, but I usually brew about 6 cups and don't feel it takes a long time. There is also the option to pour a cup before the brewing is complete. It will stop until you put the carafe back in.

I wish.....always seems to shut down just when you go to use it again....if you find out how to disable it let me know please. Besides that it's a great little scale.

Sylvia, I see you received some yes and some no answers. The scale that I received automatically turns off 60 seconds after the last operation. The scale works great. Jim W

As it happens, I just boiled water for coffee using my bodium French press which is supposed to be an 8 cup/ Itook about 15 minutes. I am not sure exactly how many onces of water that is, but I should also say it is important not to overfill it. It will still work quickly,

My experience is, once there is activity with the scale, it does not turn off. If you leave it dormant, even with a weight on, it will shutoff after a while.

On mine, I can put the weight on and then tap the on/off//tare function on the left. The scale beeps and resets to zero after a slight lag. During that lag, the scale looks like it isn't responding, then it resets.

any scale can be at sometime. Have you been stepping on it so it registers some weight, then stepping off and waiting until it zeroes? That was my original mistake...not doing this. Was about to toss it, but now it works fine and is consistent

No, it turns off after few seconds.. You will have to take the weight off of the scale and weigh again in order to check the weight again.

I don't know I never had mine long enough to use the timer. I sent back tow of them as defective. Ended up getting a refund and getting a Mr.Coffee.

You have the option of programming the scale to turn off automatically or to stay on. I left the setting to shut off automatically; have not changed that; and have not had the scale turn off before I was ready for it to do so.

I use a piece of plastic on the scale and then put the food on the plastic. I never place food directly on the scale. There is a tare weight that you use when you turn it on with the plastic in place. You still get an accurate reading. I just use a damp cloth to wipe it off. I never put food directly on it.
