Rhino Dose Scale – Compact Dosing Scale (1 kg / 0.1 g)
In the morning, you place the dosing cup on the small platform, tare it to zero, and let the beans fall in until the display shows your exact dose. One or two grams less, one or two more – you see it instantly, before the first bean goes into the grinder.
A small, fast scale that does one job perfectly: weighing your dose.
Why a dedicated dosing scale?
Espresso starts with weighing. How much coffee goes into the portafilter, together with the output weight, determines the ratio – and thus whether the cup will be round and sweet. The Dose Scale shows you the input weight accurate to 0.1 gram, up to 1 kilogram, so you hit the same starting point every morning.
It is intentionally kept small: The stainless steel platform measures 69 × 69 millimeters, enough for dosing cups and small containers, and the tray is removable for cleaning. After three minutes without load, it switches itself off to save battery life. No two extractions are alike – bean, humidity, and you yourself change daily; the scale gives you a fixed point for adjustment. Our opinion is one of many.

Who it's for
For anyone who practices single dosing and wants to weigh their beans precisely before grinding – with a dosing cup, tube, or small container. Its compact size fits on any counter, right next to the grinder. If you also want to weigh the shot in the cup, combine it with a flat brew or espresso scale.
What to combine it with
A dosing scale works in conjunction with the grinder. For those who want an affordable and precise grinder: the VS3 from the Varia Coffee Grinders; for those who want a larger burr and better workflow, look to the VS6 or the EG-1 from the Weber Workshops Collection.
For weighing the shot under the portafilter, a flat scale is suitable – affordable and compact in the Normcore Collection, with Bluetooth, flow rate, and app in the Acaia Collection. And you can find the matching machine in our Espresso Machines.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Dose Scale differ from a brew scale?
The Dose Scale is designed for weighing beans: compact, with a small platform and a maximum load of 1 kilogram. A brew or espresso scale, on the other hand, is placed under a cup or carafe to measure the output weight and often the time. Many use both.
Does a dosing cup fit on the platform?
Yes. The 69 × 69 mm stainless steel platform is designed for dosing cups and small containers; the tray is removable for cleaning.
What batteries does it need?
Two AAA batteries, which are already included. It switches off automatically after about three minutes without load.
Can I see the scale in person before buying?
Certainly. You can experience it live in our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b). We deliver online within 2–4 business days, nationwide in Switzerland and to Liechtenstein.
Tip from our coffee roastery
Those who take weighing seriously will taste small changes most clearly with clean, sweet roasts. Our Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight are particularly good for this. For maximum body without acidity, try Very Nutty; for a fruity experience, Wild Peach. This is our recommendation – one of many.
