Brewing Modes
The S1 Air features three intelligent brewing modes for various coffee preparation methods:
- Espresso Mode: Features automatic tare and timing for consistent shot control. Place your cup on the scale, and it will auto-tare. Start your espresso shot, and the timer will begin automatically.
- Pour-Over Mode: Synchronizes weight and time tracking for bloom accuracy. Place your pour-over setup on the scale, and it will auto-tare. Begin pouring, and the timer will start, allowing you to monitor both weight and time.
- Manual Mode: Functions as a standard digital kitchen scale with a manual timer for flexible brewing control. You can manually start and stop the timer and use the tare function as needed.

Troubleshooting

- Display not responding: Try turning the scale off and on again. If the issue persists, ensure it is charged.
