Some of my coworkers think of me as a coffee snob: I usually don't like the bland roast that finds its home in our kitchen, instead preferring a dark and flavorful French or Italian. That's why I use my Planetary Design French Press Mug to brew my personal stash, 18 fluid ounces at a time.
The reason I don't call myself a coffee snob? Up to now, I've been using the ice cream scooper in the office kitchen to "precisely" (a-hem!) measure my grinds. That, I'm pretty sure, is an instant disqualification from any uppity coffee lovers society, and it's also the reason why my brew was occasionally bitter and sometimes weak.
I've used a My Weigh 7001DX Digital Scale at home in the kitchen for a number of years to weigh out my coffee, and figured it was finally time to bite the bullet and do the same at work.
Requirements? I wanted the scale to be small, yet large enough for my 4" diameter press pot, and have a high enough weight capacity to measure my press pot plus the coffee. Turns out this SC-2KG is spot on size wise with a 4" square weighing surface, and just enough capacity to measure my press, the coffee, and even the water in it (if I was so inclined -- though I'm not).
Protection is pretty good. A large tray is included, and a small snap-on platform cover mostly protects this scale (it's not truly enclosed and sealed from dust, but it's enough that it will survive getting banged around a little in my desk drawer or my soft-sided laptop bag.
The three buttons have a satisfyingly hard click when pressed, not the softer click of my 7001DX buttons that sometime require a little finesse to engage. The display comes on immediately (always with the blue backlight illuminated), and zeros quickly.
I appreciate that the feet of this unit are positioned such that hard button presses don't cause the scale to tilt. I owned a scale that would do a nose stand when light pressure was applied to the buttons, and I even see this is a problem with a couple of American Weigh's scales, after watching a handful of the calibration videos they've posted on their website.
The scale data refers to a 3 to 5 second stability time (in theory, the delay after adding weight to where the display indicates an accurate reading) and that seems pretty typical throughout their lineup. In fact, this is approximately the delay my My Weigh 7001DX at home exhibits, and it annoys me that my reading can jump around by 2 grams (or none at all), when I'm adding coffee.
But with this SC-2KG, that delay hasn't been apparent. It might be because the grams display is in 0.1 increments (my 7001DX is in full gram increments) -- so I can watch the scale "build up" to the next gram, vs. jumping ten tenths at a time. But in reality, I think it's quite a bit faster at stabilizing than the claimed 3 second figure.
Repeatability is very good. My 500g calibration weight was dead on. I played around with some bananas and beer bottles (just because), and combining two separate items would get me to within 0.1g of the weight of the items' individual weights added together -- within the rounding error.
For my purposes, this scale is more than accurate enough. For the price, it's phenomenal. Now excuse me while I go brew another cup of coffee.
And portable too. Also, because I'm new to these, I didn't know it was so easy to tare. Simply place your container on the scale and press the tare button. It zeros out instantly.
And how about the range? It can accurately weigh a dime or 30 grams of coffee, yet it has no problem weighing my heavy glass Chemex plus 500 grams of water. In practice, I tare out the Chemex and then add the water. Range is one-tenth of a gram to two kilograms.
It comes with a clear plastic tray that you store it in. The tray is perfect for weighing coffee.
Might just start weighing my food portions too, since it's so easy. Love it!
Don't let the shutoff feature dissuade you. The shutoff is 5 minutes, which I never come close to reaching, and I use a V60 for pourovers. The actual drawbacks as I see them - compared with the CJ4K - are as follows:
Have to press/release to get greatest accuracy at smallest resolution (e.g. tying to figure out which particular coffee bean puts you at 26.7g)
Awkward as a food/kitchen scale because the platform is too small for large plates (can't see the display)
... that's about all that comes to mind... oh yeah batteries only
OTOH as a travel scale this thing is the ultimate that I've seen. I use MyFitnessPal to track nutrition. I'm in my first full year of serious cycling training, and at the moment I'm data-crazy, logging everything that seems like it *could* be important later. So I measure everything that goes into my mouth. This has become easy to the point of subconscious when I'm at home, selecting from food I bought myself, making familiar recipes, etc., but away from home - HFS it is not so easy. Basically one tool is asking enough questions to get a comprehensive picture of what I'm actually eating, and the other tool is this scale. On the road batteries-only is an asset. It's tiny, portable...
I don't quite grok how the outer platic gutard protects the whole machine except to prevent collisions from smashing the screen and buttons - I do wish the outer case enclosed the whole scale. I also wish it had something like a tablet/notebook neoprene shock case... maybe I will scrounge Amazon to find something suitable...
Overall I wish I had bought this scale first. The CJ4K is better as a permanent kitchen scale, but I prefer this AWS scale for all things coffee-related. Also it is the ultimate food scale for travel AFAIK.

Superbly fast, good repeatable results to nearest 0.1g, and goes up to 2kg which is quite rare for scales which measure to nearest 0.1g.
Great for baking as well, if you can find a bowl that fits it.
Love it very much.
