Gravitas is the kitchen scale built for cooks who demand precision in their craft. Our first scale is built with the same dedication to accuracy and usability you expect from Thermapen®.

Measure to the tenth of a gram and the thousandth of an ounce with ±0.7 g accuracy—ideal for serious baking, coffee, portioning, sausage making, and precision cooking. Gravitas includes a NIST-traceable calibration certificate verifying its accuracy.

The completely wireless, removable, backlit display keeps readings visible at all times. Using an oversized bowl that blocks the display on ordinary kitchen scales? Pull the display away, set it to the side, or mount it with integrated magnets. The 180° auto-rotating screen flips the reading right side up from any angle.

Gravitas keeps the display on for 5 minutes after the last detected weight change, then enters standby and remembers your last reading for 15 more minutes. No more lost measurements.

Built rugged. Built precise. Built for cooks who measure what matters.

  • Measure with precision : measure to the tenth of a gram (0.1 g) and to a thousandth of an ounce (0.001 oz). Accurate to ±0.7 g or better. Includes a NIST-traceable calibration certificate.
  • The ultimate display: Oversized bowls or food-trap wires are a problem of the past. Gravitas features a fully wireless, removable display with large digits, backlight, integrated magnets, and a 180° auto-rotating display.
  • Tare Function: Add ingredients one after another without doing the math. Press tare between additions to reset the display to zero.
  • Recall your last reading instantly: When other scales timeout and forget your last measurement, Gravitas keeps it in memory. After 5 minutes of inactivity, Gravitas goes into standby mode for 15 minutes, remembering your last reading, then it shuts off. You unlock 20 minutes of memory, perfect for the busy kitchen.
  • Built for messy kitchens: Rated to IP66. Survives spills and cleaning in the harshest commercial workstations. The stainless steel measuring plate is easily removed for quick hand washing.

Reviews

Incredible workhorse

"This scale is my main workhorse next to my 22lb cap Taylor TE22FT. What I love about the gravitas is it’s extremely precise measurements under 5g, which the TE22FT doesn’t register. This is critical for rubs and minor adjustment batch to batch. Overall functionality is impressive with the movable reader finding many homes in my kitchen and easily holding onto with strong magnetics. I do like the TE22FT tertiary plate under the main stainless plate which would be nice on the gravitas (avoid debris from getting into plate holes when cleaning the main plate) but honestly as a first gen product release it’s impact in my kitchen has been noticeable from the gate. Ty"

gravitas is great.

"The Gravitas works fabulous. My wife started making sourdough and needed a precise scale. There was only one option to me and that is the Gravitas. Features that stand out are the removable control panel and the stainless plate that can be washed easily."

— Russ W. (5/5)

Great new kitchen tool

"I bake a lot and my preferred way to measure ingredients is using a scale for accuracy. My older scale had huge difficulty measuring small amounts of grams, say 3 grams of yeast for a pizza dough. This scale solves that issue and more. I love that you can remove the wireless display so that you can place a large bowl on the scale and view the weight increments as you add ingredients. The scale is sturdy and feels high quality. I like the large display that you can read in a bright kitchen. I like that you can flip between metric and imperial measurements say if you have some odd amount of ingredient in a recipe. It's a somewhat spendy appliance but it's well worth the value in my kitchen."

— David S. (5/5)

Slow read outs

"The quoted refresh rate of 1/2 of a second is not accurate. Sometimes it may be a 1/2 of a second, but often it’s as long as 2 seconds. I have tons of ThermoWorks products and was really looking forward to this scale for pizza and baking, but it is noticeably slower than much cheaper scales. Fingers crossed that those of us who bought early on brand loyalty can get a new unit or new brains for it."

— Joe L. (2/5)

Love this.

"I was using a janky cheap Amazon scale before this that started shifting weight like 10 second after I'd measure something which as you can imagine, started causing many frustrations. This scale has been accurate, quick, and consistent. Loved pulling off the reader so I can use bigger bowls on it too. I won't touch recipes that aren't using metric anymore and my measurements have been reliable with this scale."

— Rachel (5/5)

Excellent precision scale. Very easy

"Excellent precision scale. Very easy to change measuring units, from whole grams to fractional grams. The 15 minute memory is a luxury and eliminates the worry about taking too long to complete gathering ingredients. The magnetic connection for the digital reader is smart and handy. I did cut a piece of stiff plastic to put under the scale so that I can slide the scale on the counter and not have to lift it to move. The straight back edge fits cleanly against the back of my counter so it is always in reach. And the color (yellow) is great."

— Alison R. (5/5)

Mixed feelings

"I do think the scale is constructed well, my issue is that there is a lag in time before the measurements catch up and I find that when I’m in the middle of cooking, I do not appreciate waiting and having to inevitably remove some weight. I find that I reach for another brand scale more because of convenience."

— Allison A. (3/5)

Awesome!

"The Gravitas is an awesome scale. I love the rugged construction, the accuracy, the bright, removable, easy-to-read display, and being able to remove the measuring plate for cleaning. The only very minor criticism is the slight lag time for the display to register a reading, but I'm getting used to it and really don't notice it anymore."

— Eric J. (5/5)

Accurate and capable

"As a home cook, my needs are not the same as many professionals. However, I do appreciate the accuracy and capacity of the scale. The lag or delay is a little annoying, but acceptable and I appreciate the abilitIty to detach the display. However, I do mind that the scale does not provide settings for decimal pounds-- I often need tenths of a pound and giving me pounds and ounces requires me to stop and manually convert on a calculator. My relatively inexpensive (albeit much less accurate and capable) older scale does provide this."

— James B. (4/5)

This scale is made for home bakers!

"As a home baker and Content Creator of a baking website, I can say with certainty that this scale is an invaluable tool to have in the kitchen. Being able to measure and tare ingredients as you go allows for precision and consistency in my bakes, as well as saving me from cleaning extra measuring tools as I go. And the ability to move the measuring bar away from the scale is helpful when a large bowl would block the screen. My only issue is that the scale lags a second or two before measuring starts, but that’s easily overcome with careful attention. I would highly recommend every baker to get this scale!"

— Scotch S. (5/5)

Q&A

Can the tare weight be customized to account for the the weight of an empty container without food/liquid/etc. before use or do you have to place your empty container first?
You have to place your empty bowl on Gravitas before taring.
The kitchen scale that I use now also has a timeout that turns off the display after 5 minutes of inactivity. When this happens, if I press the power button it will bring back the previous measurement (just like Gravitas). HOWEVER, there is a flaw in their design, in that if the weight on the scale changes in any way after the screen times out, then the scale will discard the current weight and reset itself to zero (auto-tare) when it's turned on again. I want to make sure this does NOT happen with the Gravitas. If the 5-minute screen timeout happens and weight is added or removed before pressing the power button to resume, does it show the correct weight based on the original tare amount before the timeout happened or does the tare reset?
Yes, Gravitas will show the correct weight.
IF YOU PUT A BOWL ON THE SCALE DOES THE SCALE ADJUST BACK TO ZERO SO THAT YOU GET AN ACCURATE WEGHT READING OF YOUR INGREDIENT?
Yes. You simply press the TARE button to tare (zero out) the bowl's weight.
What is the backlight behavior for the display and is it configurable? The demo video shows the backlight turning on when the display is removed from the base. What are the timouts? What actions turn the backlight on/off?
The backlight automatically turns on when Gravitas is powered on and when any change in weight is detected on the scale. The backlight turns off after 15 seconds of inactivity. The display remains on for 5 minutes after inactivity. The backlight timing is not configurable.
Does the display have magnets to mount on a refrigerator for viewing?
Yes! The display has magnets on both the bottom and the back of the display.
