Reviews
Another Outstanding Product!
"One of the best tools we've added to our kitchen in quite a while. My wife and I both like the display being able to be separated from the actual scale when necessary and the tare weight feature is something I hadn't seen before; it works very well when weighing separate ingredients. As usual ThermoWorks has hit another homerun!"
Gravitas scale
"i’ve had the gravitas scale a few days and used it over the weekend. I like it. It feels solid. It’s very handy having the detachable screen when using an oversized bowl. I like having the top platform detachable making it easy to keep clean. I’m pleased. No regrets on the purchase."
Accurate But Poor Fit/Finish
"Scale is accurate for both baking measures and packaging of meat for the freezer. The misaligned stainless plate (see picture) drives me crazy every time I use it (which is several times per week). Better fit and finish would definitely get 5 stars from me."
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.

Very impressive
"I bake regularly, mostly breads with levains. The scale I had died after 20+ years of hard use. After my research I bought this scale. It’s a marvelous tool. It’s surprisingly accurate, easy to clean and the pull away read-out panel is a real gift when using a plate or large bowl. I’m very pleased with your product and can only hope it will last as long as my last one."
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."
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."
Not Worth the Cost
"This scale is disappointing on almost every level. The response times lag too much as compared to similar scales half it's cost. This is especially frustrating when weighing liquids or multiple ingredients in one bowl. This was definitely hyped up by influenceres that were sent this product for free (as for us who spend a good amount of money can't even get free shippkng). The only positive is the removable readout. I would encourage those looking for a good scale to seek out other options."
I have really mixed feelings
"I have really mixed feelings about this scale. I love the size of it and that I can move the screen for bigger items on the scale so I'll be able to see it. I also like the precision. But the software on the scale feels slow and clunky when in use. I was really surprised by this given how great the Thermopens and our thermometer by Thermoworks is. It's also not the easiest to clean."
Solves so many problems
"Perfect for all kitchen needs. Weighs the very small volumes, allows adjustment without resetting. As a sourdough baker it is perfect. I can divide my dough with the wireless display so I can see what I'm doing. My husband is a pit master who weighs meats with it. We also weigh our dogs' kibble and weigh our coffee beans every day. We like it so much we bought another one for our lake house."
Q&A
- How do you remove the stainless steel plate for cleaning?
- The plate can be removed by applying gentle but firm pressure from the underside. When the plate is clean and dry, line it up and gently press it down until you hear it click.
- How would this scale work for weighing coffee
- Gravitas would be an excellent choice for weighing coffee with its removable wireless display and the ability to measure with accuracy of less than a gram.
- Is there any chance the refresh rate could be user adjustable? Coming from cheap but reliable escali scale my bar is really just that a scale refreshes at least as fast as that and 0.5 seconds is much slower. I’ve seen your responses about too fast being bad but it would be great if we could choose a rate because imo 0.5 seconds is just too slow and many reviews here echo the same.
- The refresh rate and digital filtering algorithms are factory-calibrated to maintain accurate 0.1-gram stability, so they cannot be adjusted in the user settings. Because Gravitas is engineered for extreme precision down to 0.1 grams, its internal strain gauge uses heavy digital filtering to stabilize high-resolution readings, which can sometimes feel like a slight lag when pouring liquids or adding dry ingredients quickly compared to standard 1-gram scales.
- Does the Gravitas scale measure fluid ounces as well as ounces? What are the 8 modes that the scale uses?
- Gravitas measures mass and weight only, not volume like fluid ounces or milliliters. It offers 8 distinct weight modes: 4 standard modes (ounces only, pounds and ounces, grams only, and kilograms and grams) plus 4 high-resolution counterparts that deliver ultra-fine precision down to 0.1 grams and 0.001 ounces.
- Does it ship with batteries? I am having difficulty opening the battery compartments
- The Gravitas does includes three AAA batteries in the box. To open the battery compartment on the bottom of the scale, loosen the two captive screws with a small Phillips-head screwdriver.
