Operating Modes

The Diyife coffee scale offers four specialized modes to assist with various brewing methods. Double-tap the 'T/M Power' button to cycle through the modes: Manual Mode (no indicator), Auto Mode (A indicator), Brew Ratio Mode (R indicator), and Flow Speed Mode (V indicator).

1. Manual Mode (No Indicator)

This is the default mode for basic weighing and timing. Press 'Unit/Time' to start/stop the timer and 'T/M Power' to tare (zero out) the weight. This mode provides full control over timing and weighing independently.

2. Auto Mode (A Indicator)

Designed for convenience, this mode automatically starts the timer when weight is detected on the platform. It is intended to simplify the brewing process by eliminating manual timer activation.

3. Brew Ratio Mode (R Indicator)

In this mode, after placing your coffee grounds and taring, the scale will display the ratio of water to coffee as you pour. This helps maintain consistency in your brew recipe.

4. Flow Speed Mode (V Indicator)

This mode displays the real-time flow rate of water in grams per second, alongside the total weight and timer. It assists in achieving precise pouring techniques for methods like pour-over.

Charging

The scale features a built-in 500mAh rechargeable lithium battery. Use the provided USB-C cable to charge the device. A single full charge can provide up to 90 days of use, depending on usage frequency. The scale has a charge indicator and will alert you when the battery is low.

Silent Mode

The scale is equipped with a buzzer function that emits audible alerts when buttons are pressed. To disable the buzzer and activate silent mode, press and hold the 'T/M Power' and 'Unit/Time' buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. Repeat the action to re-enable the buzzer.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Cleaning: The tempered glass panel and removable silicone mat allow for easy cleaning. Wipe away coffee, milk, or other liquids with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the scale in water.
• Protection: The charging port is silicone-protected to prevent liquid ingress. Ensure this cover is properly sealed when not charging.
• Storage: Store the scale in a dry place away from extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the scale is on a flat, stable surface. Avoid placing it near vibrating appliances or in drafty areas. Recalibrate if necessary (refer to specific calibration instructions if provided separately, or contact support).
• Auto Mode Timer/Weight Reset: In Auto Mode, if the brewing equipment is lifted or significantly moved from the scale, the timer and weight may reset to zero. This mode is designed for continuous pouring without interruption.
• Brew Ratio Mode Stops Recording: In Brew Ratio Mode, pausing the pour for more than a few seconds (e.g., during a bloom phase) may cause the scale to stop recording the ratio and weight changes. For methods requiring pauses, consider using Manual Mode.
• Flow Speed Mode Stops Recording: Similar to Brew Ratio Mode, interruptions in pouring can cause the flow speed and weight tracking to cease.
• Scale Not Turning On: Check battery level and charge the scale using the USB-C cable.
• Overload Warning: If 'EEEE' or a similar error appears, the weight on the scale exceeds its maximum capacity (2000g). Remove items immediately to prevent damage.
