The Subscale features the precision of a scale, met with the convenience of a cup—all in one sleek design. This innovative product was launched on October 25th and is available for purchase now via Subminimal’s website.

Just dose, grind, brew, and enjoy your coffee more. This product makes your workflow smoother and more enjoyable by eliminating the constant shuffling of your espresso scale. In addition, the Subscale offers several features designed to enhance your brewing experience such as the ability to calibrate settings, if needed, in order to maintain accuracy for years to come.
