Review on ☕ Brewista Smart Scale II: The Ultimate Brewing Companion for Perfect Coffee and Espresso at Home - USB Battery, 70 oz / 200 g Capacity, 6 Modes by Shawn Pollock

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not perfect but adequate

I use this to measure espresso dose and overall performance. It measures to the nearest tenth of a gram, but struggles to pick up small differences. I add extra weight by pressing the measuring cup each time I make an adjustment, which seems to help read actual weight after small changes. When used to measure power, it's very good at tracking the weight of the espresso that's poured into the cup. It's a bit bulky, especially with the rubber guard mounted. Even with my bottomless portafilter, I can't fit a tall/tall mug. I don't use timer functions as my espresso machine has a built-in timer. Considering the cost compared to the most popular espresso scales, it's easy to overlook minor flaws and I want or need a better scale. One amazing thing I can't figure out is that I bought it 5 months ago and use it once or twice a day on average and it's still showing full battery bars and I've never charged it.
