Setup
Unboxing and Initial Inspection
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all items listed in the 'What's in the Box' section are present and undamaged. The package should contain the Fellow Tally Pro Studio Edition Coffee Scale.
Charging the Battery
The Tally Pro scale is powered by 1 Lithium Ion battery. Before first use, ensure the scale is fully charged. Connect the provided charging cable to the scale and a suitable power source. The OLED screen will indicate charging status. A full charge provides approximately 13 hours of continuous use or 1-2 months of daily use.
Placement
Place the scale on a flat, stable surface to ensure accurate readings. Avoid placing it near heat sources, direct sunlight, or areas with excessive vibration.
Operating Instructions
The Fellow Tally Pro features three versatile modes: Weigh Mode, Timer Mode, and Brew Assist Mode. Navigate between modes using the control dial and buttons.

1. Weigh Mode
In Weigh Mode, the scale displays measurements in grams (g), ounces (oz), pounds (lbs), or milliliters (ml). It is accurate to the tenth of a gram (0.1g).
- Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button (left button) to turn the scale on or off.
- Change Units: Briefly press the unit button (right button) to cycle through available units (g, oz, lbs, ml).
- Tare Function: Place an empty container on the weighing platform and press the tare button (center button) to reset the display to zero before adding ingredients.
2. Timer Mode
Timer Mode is ideal for tracking brew times. It operates independently or in conjunction with weighing functions.
- Start/Stop Timer: Press the timer button (left button) to start or stop the timer.
- Reset Timer: Press and hold the timer button to reset it to zero.
3. Brew Assist Mode
The unique Brew Assist Mode guides you to achieve your desired coffee-to-water ratio for pour-over brewing. This mode simplifies the process by calculating the target water weight based on your coffee dose and preferred ratio.
- Select Ratio: Use the control dial to set your preferred coffee-to-water ratio (e.g., 1:15, 1:16).
- Add Coffee: Place your pour-over setup on the scale and add your desired amount of coffee grounds. The scale will display the coffee weight.
- Pour Water: The screen will then indicate the target water weight needed to achieve your selected ratio. Pour water slowly until the target is met.
