  • Coffee scales?

    I’m looking at getting my mum a better set of scales. I currently own acaia lunar but this is a hefty price tag for her. I’m looking at getting the brewista smart scale 2 or timemore scales. For the $100 budget, what would be the best option? Something smaller and accurate is ideal

    I have the brewista for occasional training at work, it’s ok
    i use the timemore at home & like it (except it’s white) it’s rechargeable & bigger which is better for group handles

      Yeah I used to have the brewista and liked it. She needs something that can sit under her barista express as her current is just some home scales that weighs to 1g

    For a non-enthusiast/ function over form situation, evilBay does a variety of some fairly decent scales for milk money.
    Just purchased a second set of 500g/ 0.01gm (jokingly referred to by a mate as my drug dealer scales...I worry about him, lol) for around $6, batteries included.
    Plus a set of pourover scales, 3kg/0.1gm for about $24. Both for my away kit.
    The originals are 2 years old and still chugging along quite nicely. (They work fine, look ok to me) and the price means I'm not going to lose it if they get damaged.

    (Both use AAA batteries which quite frankly I prefer as it means they're not just pricey landfill if the batteries expire)

      I’ve done eBay scales, unfortunately I’m not recommending that to my mum as the brewista or timemore are much better for their price

    Timemore Nano seems to be Lunar without Bluetooth

      The nano looks good and size looks great but almost $200. I went with the brewista, over 1cm shorter in height than the timemore black mirror

      a late reply, but i just grabbed a Timemore Nano off AliExpress for ~$100. waiting on shipping but that was a much better deal than the almost $200 onshore

      I ended up with the brewista smart scale II’s, she’s enjoying them and are much better than what she had
Working...
