Fellow Tally Pro Precision Scale
About
Fellow developed the Tally Pro for coffee professionals and home enthusiasts who require precision that consumer kitchen scales cannot deliver. The platform measures 152 by 130 millimeters and rises only 18 millimeters from the counter surface, a profile low enough to slide beneath espresso machine portafilters for real-time shot monitoring.
The weighing surface machines from a single aluminum sheet, treated with a bead-blasting process that creates a matte texture resistant to fingerprints and water spotting. Four load cells beneath the platform provide measurements from 0.1 grams up to 2 kilograms with repeatability to within 0.05 grams. This accuracy matters for dosing espresso and calibrating pour-over ratios where small variations produce noticeable differences in the cup.
A removable silicone mat attaches magnetically to the aluminum surface, protecting the scale from hot vessels while providing grip that prevents carafe sliding. The mat lifts off for rinsing under tap water, and the platform's overhanging lip allows liquid to run clear without pooling in corners. Response time registers weight changes within milliseconds, keeping pace with even rapid espresso extraction.
The interface presents readings on an integrated display with high contrast that remains legible under bright kitchen lighting or dim cafe conditions. Timer functions integrate with weighing modes for ratio-based brewing. For anyone who has outgrown basic digital scales, the Tally Pro provides measurement infrastructure that matches their brewing ambitions.
