The daughter of a prominent Black businessman, Dolores Mae Duncan grew up in New York City during the exhilarating 1930s. A unique and progressive education at the famed Little Red School House in Greenwich Village helped Dolores prepare for a life she could not have imagined for herself. Her teen years in a white middle-class New England town taught her that privilege did not shield her from prejudice. While marriage to the young, dynamic Clifton R. Wharton Jr. may have seemed natural, she did not realize they were embarking on the adventure of a lifetime, one that would take them to the farthest reaches of Asia, the hallowed halls of academe, the most austere corporate boardrooms, and even the shadowy depths of Washington, D.C., politics. Throughout this life of adventure, Dolores Wharton witnessed firsthand the unequal treatment being afforded minorities and women. As a result, she leveraged her position and influence to develop corporate programs that changed countless people's lives in profound and meaningful ways. A Multicultured Life reveals an aspect of Black culture rarely explored, one crucial to understanding the full expanse of Black experience in America. But at its core, it is a love story: love of learning, of the arts, of civic duty, of family--and most especially the love between Dolores and Clifton Wharton, who have spent a lifetime lifting each other up when times were difficult and sharing the joy of lives well lived.

Has fit perfectly into my morning espresso
Color: Black&Silver
This seems to me to be an excellent small kitchen scale. I am new to the complexities of espresso making and have begun using this scale every morning to measure my dose and output. It is working just fine. Easy to operate, keep clean and store. I did not give it 5 stars because I have limited comparisons but I don’t expect and will not bother looking for anything better.

Perfectly fits what I needed for my espresso habit!
Color: Black&Silver
This Maestri House mini coffee scale is a great little tool for espresso and pour-over. The size is compact enough to fit under a portafilter or cup, and the 0.1g accuracy makes dialing in coffee much easier. I like the built-in timer, rechargeable USB-C battery, and clean black-and-silver look. It feels precise, practical, and easy to keep near the espresso machine. Great value for anyone who wants more consistent coffee.

Maestro House Mini Coffee Scale
I have begun to drink tea, pu’erh tea to be specific. I have several varieties and I have had a problem with getting consistent results. The varieties can be very different in size depending on when the leaves are harvested (leaves harvested in spring are much smaller). So the easiest way to get consistent results is by weight. This scale is very easy to use with a ceramic tea scoop, set the tea scoop on the scale, zero it out and add tea leaves. This has made my results much better, without the wild swings in strength I had been getting before trying to eyeball even measures. This scale gives me accurate measurements to one tenth of a gram.

Mostly great, except one little annoyance
Color: Black&Silver, Color: Black&Silver
Pros- lightweight, small, very accurate, easy to clean, timer included. Cons- I use this to brew espresso on my Breville Touch and to get an accurate reading, you have to place something flat (structured) under the scale. Otherwise the reading just jumps all over the place. I know lot of espresso machines have the same base, so this might be an issue for some! This is my reason for 4/5 stars. It’s an easy fix, it’s just kind of annoying. Value for the price seems to be on point. It’s easy to clean. It has a timer as well as scale (nice for espresso). Buttons work the first time you push them. That’s it that’s all

Great Coffee at Home with Beautiful Design!
Color: Beige, Color: Beige
Absolutely love this espresso machine! It’s easy to use, heats up quickly, and makes rich, flavorful coffee with nice crema. The milk frother works great for lattes and cappuccinos, and the design looks beautiful on my countertop. Great value for the price — highly recommend!
