The Scale Where the Portafilter Actually Fits
The difference between a dosing scale and a bench portafilter scale comes down to platform size. The Rhino Bench Scale was designed specifically with a 150mm x 158mm stainless steel platform — large enough to comfortably seat a portafilter without the handle overhanging awkwardly or the basket sitting off-centre. This means you can weigh your dose directly in the portafilter as you go, rather than dosing into a separate cup first and transferring, which adds a step and a potential source of waste. The easy-clean stainless platform wipes down in seconds if you spill grounds or coffee, and the 2kg capacity comfortably handles the weight of the portafilter plus a full dose — nothing close to the limit on every weigh.

0.1g Accuracy, Full Feature Set
The scale reads to 0.1g — the resolution that matters for espresso dosing, where a half-gram difference in dose changes extraction time and flavour. Features include selectable auto-off (extends battery life during less frequent use), tare (zero out the portafilter weight before dosing), calibration, and overload protection. The white backlit LCD is readable in most kitchen and café lighting conditions. Weight modes available: grams, ounces, troy ounces, and pennyweights — grams being the relevant mode for coffee, with the others available if you repurpose the scale. Power: 1x 9V battery, included.

Where It Fits in the Rhino Scale Range
The Bench Scale is the portafilter-focused workhorse in the Rhino range — the option for those who want a dedicated dosing station with a platform large enough to use the portafilter directly. The Rhino Dosing Scale is a smaller, more compact option suited to drip-tray placement or tighter setups. The Rhino Stealth Espresso Scale (IP65 water-resistant, sloped display, dual platform) is the premium espresso-focused option for on-machine use. And the Rhino Brewing Scale (3kg, with timer) is built for pour-over and filter brewing. All four are available at Coffee Addicts — the Bench Scale is the natural choice if a large, stable, easy-clean platform for portafilter dosing is the priority.
