According to the Wirecutter, because of the variety of beans and grounds' shape and size you might end up with differing coffee-to-water ratios if your beans are not properly measured.

"It seems weird and fussy, but a scale is a powerful thing," said Peter Giuliano, chief research officer at the Specialty Coffee Association. "It can improve consistency a lot."

The Escali Primo Digital Scales are multifunctional and feature an easy to use two-button operation and a sealed control to guard against accidental spills. It also features an automatic shut-off mode which allows the scale to turn off after four minutes of inactivity to help conserve and extend battery life. However, its dishwasher safe stainless steel platform cover is available separately.
