Flow-Rate Indicator The Flow-Rate Indicator is an LED bar on the top of the display. It helps you visualize your espresso flow-rate in real time and spot channeling during brewing. The indicator measures flow-rate with lit LEDs starting from 0.1 g per second on the left to 3.4 g per second on the right. When the flow-rate exceeds 5.0 g per second, the last three LEDs will light up with enhanced brightness, indicating a high flow-rate.
Brewing with Flow-Rate Indicator Place a cup on the scale to start brewing. During an espresso brew, the Flow-Rate Indicator will display the highest peak flow-rate of this brew with a single bright LED. The highest peak & Real flow-rate The highest peak flow-rate LED will stay on the display during an espresso brew.
Tare Save If you have a frequently used container in your weighing workflow, you can save the weight of the container using the Tare Save function. This will allow you to weigh the container with contents, then trigger Tare Save to deduct the container weight and obtain the net weight. The Tare Save function can be activated in Weighing mode and Dual Display Mode.
