Good size scale with slim profile so easy to store away when not using. Easy to use, read, and clean.

This scale is my all-time favorite! I accidentally left mine at my DIL's when we made pasta one day, and made the mistake of ordering a different, cheaper scale to replace it until I could get it back from her. The replacement scale worked 4 seconds. I didn't even bother to send it back, I threw it away, and bought another Escali... how I now have two :) I love the accuracy, the ease of use, ease of cleaning, and the large digital readout. Tare is easy to use, and the wide range of measure units is impressive. I love the size of this scale since I can place the ingredient container away from the readout and see the weight for my cinnamon rolls and breads ingredients. I use fresh milled flour, so I also naturally use this for weighing various wheat berries. When I bought each of my adult children their pasta machine as Christmas gifts, I also included this scale, and Caputo 00 Simola flour. I'll never use another brand of scale.

Great design & quality

I pored over dozens of reviews and the Escali kept popping up as a favorite, especially from Bon Appetite. After a couple uses it seems to fit all my baking needs. I appreciate the sleek look and it's long enough that I don't have to struggle to see the numbers which I weigh items in a larger container. The surface has been easy to clean and I hope it endures for many years to come.

I love this little scale. It's compact, sleek and easy to clear and the touch controls are nice and responsive (you do have to wait a few seconds for the tare to set). Overall easy to use, nice accuracy, and easy to store.

Très satisfaits de cette balance, qui tient bien dans le temps.

It’s functional and pretty. It holds more than my OXO however it does NOT zero out faster than my OXO. So I still keep my 5 lb OXO nearby when weighing out my sourdough starter. I use this scale when doing larger batches

Easily goes from one type of measurement to another. Very easy to see and use product. Would order again!

I've had the pleasure of using the Escali Arti Digital Food Scale in my kitchen for a few weeks now, and I've found it to be a superb addition to my countertop appliances. Its precision, aesthetic appeal, and functionality are hard to overlook.The first thing that caught my attention about this scale was its design. The tempered glass top with a bamboo finish gives it a modern and sleek look that matches my kitchen decor perfectly. It's not just good-looking, though; it's also easy to clean, thanks to the smooth surface.The precision of the Escali Arti Digital Food Scale is impressive. It allows for accurate weight measurements which are essential for baking, portion control, or simply for the sake of precision in cooking. The scale measures both in grams and ounces, providing the flexibility needed for various recipes.The multi-functionality of the scale is another selling point. It's capable of measuring liquids as well as solids, which is a handy feature when you're cooking or baking. The tare function also allows for easy subtraction of the weight of the container, which makes for more precise measurements.One of the great features of this scale is its compact size. It fits nicely on the counter and is easy to store when not in use. The display is clear and easy to read, though I did find it a bit challenging to see when larger bowls were on the scale.As for the downsides, I found that the scale sometimes takes a few seconds to register the weight, which might be a minor inconvenience for some. Also, it operates on batteries, which you'll need to keep in mind for long-term use.

Il colore bianco ghiaccio in realtà è un grigio chiaro

I love everything about this scale! While my old digital platform scale was still measuring things accurately, it was quite old, so it wasn’t powering itself back on without the hassle of removing and replacing fresh batteries at least a couple times, standing on one foot, fingers crossed and praying over it. ;) So I needed to go ahead and find a replacement. I knew I wanted an accurate scale that could tare, and also switch easily between ounces and grams. And I didn’t want a model with a backlight because I don’t actually need that function, and I’ve found that this feature can reduce battery life.So with those criteria in mind, I searched online to read reviews, and found that Wirecutter (from NY Times), Bon Appétit AND Epicurious editorial staff ALL chose an Escali scale (same brand, but an older model) as their top picks. Their endorsements of Escali were good enough for me!I love this thing! First, is it actually made from bamboo? YES! Attaching photos to this review so you can see the scale next to a bamboo salt cellar, and one that shows a cross section of the thinner portion of wood face where it’s been cut to fit the display window (the sides are thicker than the cut portion that’s shown in this photo, but other reviewers have shown the sides, so I didn’t bother). The bamboo top is just like a bamboo cutting board that was routed out/cut out underneath to accommodate fitting the electronics (while its bamboo, I would never use this as a cutting board because of the electronics). The bamboo is smooth and well made, with no crevices that would be difficult to wipe down.And this is the cool part: when I’m not using the scale (because let’s face it, you don’t use it every single minute you’re in a kitchen, right?), it looks beautiful out in the open with my wood cutting boards— it fits right in, and if the display portion is hidden it would be *really* hard to tell it isn’t an actual cutting board unless you were to pick it up. I have a small kitchen, so I love that it doesn’t look like an electronic device or gadget. And the design is slim enough that you could store it on a shelf with cookbooks, etc., if that might work better than leaving it out on the counter.I initially assumed a platform type scale would be MUCH better for baking, since that’s what I’d had before, but it doesn’t make any difference to me because the surface of this one is large enough to accommodate my largest mixing bowls. I have no problem seeing the display, even with my largest bowl, or even a large Dutch oven or stockpot sitting on the surface. The tare function works well, the function to convert units between grams to ounces to pounds + ounces to liquid ounces (that one only applies to water, btw, since other liquids will weigh different amounts than water) works well. And the hold function is a nice little bonus. since I’ve sometimes used a kitchen scale to measure lightweight but bulkier boxes for shipping— the scale can handle anything up to 15lbs, according to the box. To use the hold function: press hold, place the item on the surface of the scale, and in a second or two, you’ll hear a beep once the item’s weight has registered. Remove the item, and the weight remains on the display! No more trying to peek underneath a box or bulky item to see how much it weighs. ;)I also like that this scale will retain measurements on the display for up to 5 minutes. With my old scale, I would sometimes find myself scrambling to finish measuring something if I’d needed to open a new package of flour or sugar to add more, if I’d run out of something in one container mid-way through measuring. It’s nice to have a little more time to grab what I need, or refer back to a recipe, etc.The only negative I can think of is that the tare function button sometimes needs an additional press to zero itself. That’s no big deal to me, but I thought I should mention that you might need to wait a second for it to zero, or maybe even press the button again. Even when my older scale was brand new, it required me to press the tare button multiple times (10x or more), and oftentimes I couldn’t tare unless I turned the power off and back on again. So I’m fine with waiting a second or just pressing a button one more time. I’m still getting the feel of it, but so far I haven’t been concerned or frustrated with anything at all with this one. And it takes a second or so to register the weight of any additions, but it’s not so long of a wait time that you’d be likely to inadvertently make a mistake. I measure fairly slowly anyway, so it’s been easy for me to for instance, measure the weight of sugar or flour, spot on to the exact gram weight I need, without adding too much. It’s plenty responsive for any normal home baking, cooking, meal serving/portioning needs. Commercial bakers might require an instantaneous response if they’re measuring things at a lightning fast speed... but at home, I don’t feel held back or slowed down at all by this scale.I’ve tested this against my older scale which I know to be accurate (even though it sometimes won’t turn itself on lol), and weighed items with known weights. This scale appears to be highly accurate, especially if you place the item on the center area of the platform, just as you would with any other scale. I’m a “kitchen person” and I’m pretty picky about the items I use. Because of the functionality and the bamboo surface, this is one of the coolest kitchen tools I’ve ever owned!
