- There are two dose options, and both will be set to zero initially. Don’t forget to program in your dose before you try it out.
- Now, everything is fully connected and ready to use!
Using the Scale with the Mini and Pico
When moving the scale between the Linea Mini and Pico, be sure to turn it off and back on in its new position so it can reconnect properly.
The left number on the scale is your target dose, while the right number shows the actual weight. Both adjust based on which device the scale is connected to.
How to Know It’s Synced
- Listen for three beeps – this confirms the scale has successfully synced. The target weight on the scale will change to reflect what you have set for brewing and grinding.
- After grinding and brewing, you’ll hear two beeps, signaling the process is complete.
- Linea Mini → A connecting icon will appear on the screen when synced.
- Pico Grinder → The single and double cup icons will remain, and the time will disappear once it has synced. If you switch to the manual button on the Pico, grind-by-weight will be disabled.
By following these steps, you’ll ensure smooth transitions between devices and accurate dosing every time. Whether you’re grinding or brewing, the scale keeps everything precise and consistent—so you can focus on making great espresso.
