One-line verdict

For casual drip and pour-over beginners who want a large-platform, reliable scale with basic timer at the absolute lowest price, it beats the OXO Brew Precision on value and platform size but lacks the fast response and espresso modes of the Timemore Black Mirror Nano.

How it compares

vs Timemore Black Mirror Nano ($45): Greater Goods wins on larger platform and lower price, Nano wins on rechargeability and compactness
vs OXO Brew Precision Scale ($55): Greater Goods wins on price and carafe stability, OXO wins on slightly faster timer
