The Subminimal Subscale is a BPA-free Tritan dosing cup with a factory-calibrated precision scale built in, designed for espresso and coffee workflows where bench space and extra steps are unwelcome. The scale reads to 0.1 g (or 0.01 oz), holds up to approximately 60 g of beans or 120 ml of liquid, and wakes instantly with a single tap on its invisible capacitive touch display. It is available as a single unit.
The Subscale puts the scale inside the cup rather than beside it, so dosing coffee becomes one step instead of two. Grind directly into the cup, read the weight on the built-in display, and move straight to brewing without transferring beans or repositioning a separate scale. For espresso workflows in particular, the cup also accepts the shot directly: Tritan is rated safe for liquids up to 100°C for up to two hours, so pulling a shot into the Subscale gives a live weight reading without a separate vessel.
The Subscale is factory calibrated and accurate to 0.1 g in grams mode or 0.01 oz in ounces mode. A double-tap switches between units. The invisible LED display activates only when touched, keeping the cup's exterior clean and uncluttered between uses. Auto-off triggers after 60 seconds of inactivity, preserving the 400 mAh lithium battery, which recharges via USB-C.
The Subscale body is Tritan, a BPA-free, impact-resistant, food-safe plastic rated IPX-4 for water resistance. IPX-4 means it can be rinsed freely on all sides under running water without damage to the electronics. The material handles hot liquids, cold liquids, and dry goods, so the same cup moves through an entire workflow without needing to be swapped out.

The Subscale suits home espresso and filter coffee brewers who want to dose and weigh in a single vessel, reduce counter clutter, and pull shots directly into the cup for a live weight reading. Its 120 ml capacity and ~60 g bean capacity fit single- and double-shot espresso workflows and standard pour-over doses.
The Subscale is not suited to batch-brew or commercial workflows that require weighing quantities above its 99.9 g display maximum. It is not a metal vessel and does not replace a portafilter or brewing basket.
The Subscale carries an IPX-4 water-resistance rating, which means it can be rinsed freely on all sides under running water. The electronics are protected against splashes from any direction, so a quick rinse after each use is safe and sufficient for cleanup.
The Subscale cup is made from Tritan, a food-safe plastic rated for liquids up to 100°C for up to two hours. Pulling an espresso shot directly into the Subscale is safe, and the built-in scale provides a live weight reading as the shot extracts.
The Subscale is factory calibrated and reads to 0.1 g in grams mode or 0.01 oz in ounces mode. A double-tap on the capacitive touch surface switches between units. The maximum display reading is 99.9 g.
The Subscale charges via the included USB-C cable. Its 400 mAh lithium battery is paired with a 60-second auto-off feature that activates when the scale is idle, extending the time between charges during normal daily use.
The Subscale body is made from Tritan, a BPA-free, impact-resistant, food-safe plastic. It is not metal. Tritan is commonly used in food-contact applications and is safe for both hot and cold liquids as well as dry goods such as coffee beans.
