Rhino Coffee Gear Bench Scale – 2kg

The Rhino Coffee Gear Bench Scale is a straightforward, reliable dosing scale built around a large stainless steel platform — sized specifically to accommodate a portafilter basket, making it the practical choice for baristas who want accurate, repeatable espresso doses without fuss.

Large Stainless Steel Platform

The platform measures 150mm x 158mm (approximately 6" x 6.2") — notably larger than most compact brewing scales — and is made from stainless steel for durability and easy cleaning. The extra surface area means a filled portafilter sits comfortably on the platform without balancing, and any spilled grounds or coffee residue wipes off cleanly. This is the defining advantage of the Bench Scale over smaller brewing scales: the platform is built with dosing workflow in mind.

Accuracy & Measurement Modes

At 0.1g precision across a 2,000g (70oz) capacity, the Bench Scale gives you the accuracy needed for consistent espresso dosing — whether you're dialling in a single or a double. Measurement modes include grams, ounces, troy ounces, and pennyweight, giving it versatility beyond coffee use. Tare and calibration functions keep readings accurate over time, and overload protection safeguards the scale if weight exceeds the maximum capacity.

Build & Power

The scale runs on a single 9V battery, included in the box. A selectable auto-off function conserves battery life between uses. The backlit LCD display keeps readings visible in lower light conditions. All controls are integrated into the top of the scale body — there is no underside switch — which strengthens the internal structure and simplifies day-to-day use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Rhino Coffee Gear Bench Scale designed for? The Rhino Bench Scale is designed primarily for espresso dosing — its 150mm x 158mm stainless steel platform is large enough to comfortably hold a portafilter basket for in-basket dose weighing. It is also well suited to weighing whole beans, ground coffee, and for general use across pour-over and filter brewing methods. The 2,000g capacity covers all standard dosing and brewing scenarios.

What is the platform size on the Rhino Bench Scale? The platform measures 150mm x 158mm (approximately 6" x 6.2"), making it one of the larger platforms in the Rhino scale range. This size is specifically chosen to accommodate portafilters — the basket sits flat on the surface, allowing you to dose directly into the portafilter and read the weight without any balancing. The stainless steel surface wipes clean easily after use.

Does the Rhino Bench Scale have a built-in timer? No. The Bench Scale does not include a built-in timer — it is focused on accurate weighing and dosing rather than brew timing. If you need a built-in timer alongside your scale, the Rhino Coffee Gear Brewing Scale 3kg includes a stopwatch function for pour-over timing. For espresso with both weighing and shot timing, the Rhino Stealth Espresso Scale combines a timer with an IP65-rated low-profile design suited for drip tray use.

How does the Rhino Bench Scale compare to the Rhino Stealth Espresso Scale? Both scales offer 0.1g accuracy for espresso dosing. The Bench Scale has a significantly larger 150mm x 158mm stainless platform — better for bench-side portafilter dosing — and runs on a replaceable 9V battery. The Rhino Stealth Espresso Scale is lower-profile, IP65 water-resistant, USB-C rechargeable, includes a built-in timer, and is designed to fit directly on a machine's drip tray. The Bench Scale suits brewers who want a stable, spacious dosing surface at the side of their machine; the Stealth suits those who want a compact scale that lives on the drip tray during extraction.

What battery does the Rhino Bench Scale use? The scale is powered by a single 9V battery, which is included in the box. The selectable auto-off function helps extend battery life by shutting the scale down after a period of inactivity.
