Hario Teapot Kyusu 450ml

Received item in good condition. Size just right for a cup of tea. Good quality. This is a trusted brand which we have other items from this brand.

Alright for the price

I thought the 9V battery would mean it would last a seriously long time, over the two-AA varieties. But it doesn’t, it’s lasted less time than my other scales. So not great. I did spill milk on it, and now the Tare button doesn’t work properly. I tried taking it apart to see if I could clean it up, but sadly no. The circuit board sits under the rubber buttons, so be careful about spilling anything, because once it gets through the gap between the buttons, you can brick it.

As an avid green tea

As an avid green tea drinker, I’ve been looking for a new glass teapot. And I sure have found it. The little Hario teapot is wonderful, the large strainer allows the green tea to infuse perfectly, the tea stays warm and it looks so good.The service from Alternative Brewing was faultless.

Bought this because it was

Bought this because it was meant to be accurate within 0.1gm, but when I weigh coffee the value jumps around by at least 0.3gmIt is a good size, and will fit most espresso machine drip trays. However, the lag means one has to stop the pour 3-5gms before your ideal extraction amount.The scale tray is good, and batteries are included. The instruction manual, however, is minimal.It is built to a cheaper price point than other espresso scales, and this is evident with these shortcomings. To summarise, it is better than no scale, a little bit better than my weight watcher scale, but falls short in critical areas. My own feeling is that I should have spent more money and bought better scales.

Good size for portafilters

Pros:Good backlight - easy to see in darker areasSoft, responsive rubber buttonsTare function is immediate so you don't have to sit there waiting for it to zeroPlate size is big enough to place a portafilter on9V battery should last a whileCons:You need 2KG of calibration weights to calibrate. Can be expensive

Great little kitchen and garage scale

Great handy scale also used for bread, and epoxy measurements in the workshop.Easy to use and accurate to 0.5g.Sometimes you need to wait for it to think when doing really small amounts but generally great to use and good size.Love that you can turn off the auto turnoff feature.

Happy customer!

Pretty happy with adding these scales to my humble home espresso machine setup. The small size took a bit of getting used to trying to balance the group handle without it tipping over. Other than that, it fits great under the group head and works well. I like that the display is backlit so you can see the measurements clearly.

Lovely teapot

This was to replace the same teapot which my cat knocked over and broke! Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size so I will order the bigger one. This one is nice for just a single person.

I love the glass and being able to see through to check the strength of the tea.

Reliable and accurate

I bought this product a couple of weeks ago, primarily to measure the grams that go into each grip handle. I’ve been using it every day and it’s been very consistent. The only thing that I wished could change (I’m sure there is a setting to change it) is that the auto-off feature turns it off way too quickly. Wish it could stay on a bit longer than a minute. Other than that, very reliable - don’t need to buy anything fancier, particularly if you’re new to coffee.
