Will this measure in 10ths of a gram? I'm really precise when measuring out coffee/water and would like something more precise than 1g increments.

The scale as far as I can evaluate does not. The scale has some other measuring features but not that. Also I find that when I use the scalefor a 1g measure, sometimes the scale shows 0 but when I pull romaine off the scale reads -1g......go figure. A rare glitch for my purchase?The strange thing is that I experienced that -1g effect with the previous scale I had from amazon, which this scale had replaced.

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.

David, I doesn't as far as I know. I am from the old school and I never use the gram measurements. I just put a pencil on the scale and said 5 grams. I weighed the same pencil on the Lb. side and it read 0.20. I hope this helps you.

It reads in decimal ounces. Such as 3.3 or 3.30 and it's accurate to 0.05 ounces and/or 1 gram. Hope this helps.

Well...it calibrates to a given 1 gram weight, and once calibrated it gives precise weights on other known items as well...down to fractions of a grain. It also repeats those measurements. I don't know the factory tolerances but for my usage its more than accurate (and repeatable) enough.

Hi, Adrian. I never have a need for such a thing but I just tested it for you. I used grains of salt and was able to measure as little as 1/8 oz and 1 gram. I kept adding grains of salt and going back and forth from ounces to grams, and each time it increased by 1/8 oz and 1 gram.

It purports to read out in hundredths of a pound, but I can tell you that when you put less than a pound on the scale it doesn't register at all. I was trying to measure something I knew to weigh several ounces, and it still read "0.00". That leads me to conclude that any numbers to the right of the decimal on this scale really aren't reliable, because it simply is not that precise.

It also measures in (fractions of) a cup, and in ounces. No grams, however.

It scales in one tenth oz but also in whole grams. At 28 grams to the oz the conversion shouldn't be difficult. I often use the gram scale

Yes, it shows in increments of 1/10th oz. I generally use the grams setting, myself. I absolutely love this food scale...highly recommend it!

Are you sure? Dig deeper and it might be there. I would get a small measuring cup and 1 oz is appropriately 30 g.

No, best use a measuring cup. (However, if you can work in metric units, remember that 1 gram of water equals 1 milliliter.)

That's going to be a little difficult -- cups are volume measure, grams are weight. It would convert from grams or kilograms to pounds with no problem. One of my cooking instructors had a saying "A pint's a pound the world around" - so admittedly that's a pretty loose standard but if it isn't something really finicky like pastry, that heuristic would probably work.

It's right there in the description at the top of the page: 1000 x .1g. So it only goes down to one-tenth of a gram. In other words, no, it does not measure milligrams. Unless you're a biologist or a drug dealer however, one-tenth of a gram is plenty precise for most people: 1/285 of an ounce is pretty small. It gets you to the value of a gold sample, for example, within about $5.00 either way.

My experience is that it is accurate with very small masses such as fractions of an ounce or in a low number of grams. For such small masses or volumes I put a small Dixie cup on the scale (which typically weighs about 3 grams) and then tare the scale and then add in the powder or whatever I need to weigh. I typically use grams, but the scale can show weights in tenths or hundredths of an ounce.

Yes. It measures in 1/10 of an ounce increments. Nice scale. Very accurate.

You don't have to calibrate. It only measures in grams. I use it to measure coffee by taring it with the empty container from my grinder and then adding however many beans I want (for me, usually 17 grams) and then run the measured beans through the grinder. I also put my chemex on this to measure how much water I'm adding.

Yes, but although the scale reads to milligrams, it's accuracy as listed in the manual is only .020g, or a tenth of a carat either way.

I'm not sure why you would want to measure coffee this way. The best way would be measuring by mass. However, 8 tablespoons would probably take 20 seconds.
